[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How would you know the mom won, vs. the dad? (Not including Juniors and III etc.) Does Mom = weird name? That seems unnecessarily sexist.[/quote]

OP here. I know it's unnecessarily sexist, but I can't help myself. It just pops into my head whenever someone introduces kids. For example:
Annabel (mom)
Jordan the girl (dad)
Gerald (the in-laws)
Moana (3-year old Annabel).

I have synesthesia for the origins of names. Does anybody else?[/quote]

LOL.

I would say we collaborated. We have two boys and a girl. Every time, we went in with a short list of boys' names, all pretty classic. With one, we picked a combo we had talked about many times and was a strong contender for both of us, though not the favorite. With our second, my DH told me at the last minute that his name was his favorite from our list, so we went with it. Our daughter's name is a family name that we both loved. We had girl backup names, but never needed to dip into them. All three have fairly classic first names and slightly unusual middle names. We didn't do that by design, just worked out that way, and I like it.
