Soo . . .
Play along. If you had to name your child based on their characteristics right now, what would it be? Think Dances With Wolves, toddler style. I've been toying around with the following Native American names for my kids.
For India, I'm thinkingProne to Tantrums
or maybe
Rapidly Cycling Moods
For Jafta, perhaps
Endless Questions With No Answers
or maybe
Noise That Keeps Moving
What about your kids? Come on. You know you have some ideas . . .
I'm no good with Native names but I commonly use boxing names:
ReplyDeleteKai but why Stabile
and
Nash sleepless Stabile
Hmm. I think I have:
ReplyDeleteCreative Whirlwind
Bossy Girl with Razor Sharp Tongue
Kind and Generous Spirit
Boy who Hates Mother
Neverending Chatty Tornado
Mama's Boy 4-eva
(ok, the last one is not sounding too Native American, but it IS fitting)
It sounds like Jafta and Erica would be best friends. Or totally burn each other out.

Tanner wood be:
ReplyDeleteHits His Head A Lot
or
Never Sits Still Runs A Lot
How interesting that your toddler names fit my teenage boy perfectly!
ReplyDeleteFor my pre-teen I would say:
Hates to Bathe
That's funny and today "I needed to laugh" so thank you!
ReplyDeleteMy husband (affectionately?) came up with a name for my mom a while back with the same idea... Stamps Foot Loudly. Still cracks me up.
Cheers,
Kristen
Mine would be:
ReplyDeleteMy moods change with the wind
Lots of talking with little meaning
Is everyone looking at me?

ReplyDeleteShe who knows much. (Hope)
He of great joy. (Ike)
She who consumes much food. (Phoebe)
She who screams much and walks not. (Lydie)
