I love these threads.
(middle names are in () ) [Explanations are in [] ]
For a girl I'd like:
Kelsi (Ann) [I just love the name Kelsi]
Faith (Elizabeth) [Faith is such a pretty name]
Leah (Grace) [I got it off Kate+8... that's when I first started liking that name]
Paige (Leigh) [I just like it]
Nikki (Marie) [Spin-off of the name Nick, which I like. Her real name would be Nicole, I would call her Nikki for short]
Ryan (Ann) [I love the whole boy name idea for a girl]
A boy:
Jake (Richard) [NOT Jacob, just Jake. His real name would be Jake, not as a nickname. I love the name Jake but hate Jacob]
Nick (Daniel) [I love this name, and no not because of Nick Jonas, that's just a plus. Oh, and Daniel is my brother's middle name, so that's why I would choose that]
Tyler (Matthew) [My brothers good friend is named Tyler, and I just like the name]
Derek (Michael) [Now this name IS after Derek Jeter

oh and my other brother's middle name is Michael... so yeah]
Landon (Drew) [It's an interesting name, I first heard it from a friend on the DIS whose little boys name is Landon and I just think it's cute!]
I like names that are short and sweet and that once they get into school their teacher won't spend three weeks trying to learn how to pronounce their name.
