For a girl's name, my two top choices are Rosalina and Zoe. Rosalina comes from my mother's mother Rosa, and my father's mother Lina. Zoe is the name I would have had if I was a girl, assuming my father had had his way. Or was that Zelda?
For a boy, probably John William. John comes from my father's father. I never met that grandfather; in fact, I didn't know he was alive until we got a letter from his family saying he had just died. William comes from my father, who died when I was 9, so I'd like to include that as well. I might name a son after my mother's father Gaspare, considering he died when my mother was a child and I'd like to continue the name, but there's something about the name I just don't like.
Of course, in both situations (boy or girl) I'd like to include my spouse's grandparents' and other family members' names as well.
As for my father's step-father (the only grandfather I ever knew, who died when I was 2), I'm already named after him. I certainly don't want to pull a George Foreman; talk about uncreative, naming all his kids after himself.
How ya doing, buddy?
