[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Lochlan, Aveline, Kieran[/quote]

You were one of 5 Jennifers  in your first grade class at St Asaph school in Altoona, PA.   The priest who baptized each of you insisted that Jennifer was not a proper saint's name and made your parents use a saints name as your middle name.  You were Jennifer Elizabeth, and the other Jennifers had middle names of Mary, Margaret, Martha (you all felt sorry for her) and Ann  To keep you straight you were each called by your middle names.  Just before high school your parents moved to Chicago where you attended a very snooty prep school and were referred to by your last name with the title Miss preceding it.  Finally your classmates and friends could call you Jennifer and your name came into its own.  You returned to Pennsylvania to attend Penn State and majored in music education. Some of your fellow students formed a rock band you named  "the Jennifer's" -- there were so many of you in the band

Although raised in a normal Lutheran family near St Paul, your husband was a fifth son and the small supply of family names was exhausted by his birth. His mother (who you adore for her no nonsense attitude) chose the name Christopher Michael after reading a list of popular male names in "Redbook" -- despite  the changes she loves the magazine and your give her a subscription each year for her  birthday.   In college your husband tried  to distinguish himself from the crowd of Christopher's by adopting the nickname "Topher."  Unfortunately he was also a swimmer and many rude comments were made about his nickname, so he became another 'Chris."

When you were pregnant with your first child, you studied lists of popular baby names to not burden  your child with a too common name.  You wanted an  Irish name because your favorite nun from elementary school was Irish.  Having already married in the church and agreeing to raise your children as Catholic, your husband agreed.  In fact he came upon the name "Lochlan," insisting it was as Irish as Patty's pig. How could you not have many children with this sweet man?

A recessive gene brought forth  blue eyed, red  headed Lochlan, whose name you would later learn from reading "Redbook" at your MIL's home, had its roots in the same Vikings who invaded Ireland from Norway, your DH's ancestral home

Aveline was a bit more difficult.   You wanted her to be Maeve after your erudite mother confessed that Maeve Binchley was her favorite author.   An au pair who worked for the absentee parents across then cul de sac suggested Aveline because it was her English grandmother's name.  Your DH was concerned about memories of the English/Irish conflicts haunting your children!s names but by then all the moms in Lochlan's two play groups had pronounced it a perfect name.  Blue eyed, but blonde, Aveline looked like an an English rose and became Aveline Rose

Now at five  and seven years  old you are haunted by your husband's warning of English/Irish conflict as Lochlan and Aveline bicker constantly.   You wonder why you became pregnant with number 3 but there is that sweet husband thing

Your darling boy Kieran is now three  and you love how his thick black hair contrasts  with his milky blue eyes. He has your DH's practical nature and has become the peacemaker between Lochlan and Aveline.  He coaxes them to share the little screen time you allow and to play fair when outdoors.  In fact you swear his first words were "don't push."

When your MIL visited at Easter, you read an article in "Redbook" about fourth babies. But here could be a Maeve in your future
