I'm leaving my name thread alone.

Did you want to call a child something different >and why

I if I ever had a girl would have called her Alona Sheridan ....althought I dropped the Sheridan when my sis used it . please don't ask me why I would have chosen Alona but believe me anytime during my child bearing years that poor girl was gonna be Alona. I would have given her a second name like Fred lol that she could have used instead lol

I never really thought about boys but he would have been named John Turner as his 2nd and 3rd names so I guess I wouldn't have broken with tradition there.

If Dan had been a girl she would have been Gina Rose... partly from the song 'And then there was Gina' Bobby Goldsboro.

:-) that Rose made me smile .. a) I love the song but also I would have called a boy after my dad grandad Ggrand and GGG to the x of how many they were John, Joseph John Joseph or Joseph John,
I dread to think of the 1st name mind but any kids I had would have had a Turner 3rd/ dual surname which is common in my tree.

I might have just called my boy Turner as a 1st name as did many in my tree
