Baby Naming Issue: Trying to Honor Four Matriarchs at Once | Name News | Scoop.it
I feel like this first girl, being that none of her cousins has taken on a family name, we can’t leave a matriarch out, we must somehow include them all.
Clare's insight:

I always like how Swistle questions the question as well as answering it.

 

I had no idea people in the southern US pronounce Magnolia differently from what I'm used to! You live and learn.

Inspiring mum – Leslie

Inspiring mum – Leslie | Name News | Scoop.it
We chose both of our kiddos’ names the week before they were born! Clay was my husband’s grandfather’s middle name and Jameson, his middle name, was just a name we liked. Lilah is a combination of my two great grandmothers, Lillan & Geneva and Rose, her middle name, was Geneva’s maiden name. We wanted southern, old-fashioned names and we liked that Corey & Clay start with C and Leslie & Lilah are L’s.

The Meaning Behind Robert Downey Jr.’s Baby Name

The Meaning Behind Robert Downey Jr.’s Baby Name | Name News | Scoop.it
It’s pronounced Ay-Vree (think Avery without the extra vowel). There’s no special family history behind the first name, although the couple’s son Exton Elias, 2½, and Indio, his 21-year-old son from a previous marriage, also have memorable monikers.

But there’s a bit of a tale behind Avri’s middle name, Roel, which is derived from her grandparents’ names.

The first two letters of Roel are for The Judge and Ironman star’s father, Robert Downey Sr., and his wife Rosemary. They also are a shoutout to producer Susan’s mom, Rosie. The last two letters are for the actor’s mother Elsie and Susan’s father, Eliot Levin.
