[Opinions] Re: Gallagher
I love it:) I have four boys, all g's...yes, I know...I'm crazy:)It was not planned that way, just ended up being like that with the names we liked! But anyways....with our last one, I was seriously considering Gallagher. I like how it sounds, it's unusual, and still think its a distinctively "boy" name! I don't like girls being named a boy name and etc... My only drawback was a nickname. I didn't want my other boys calling the baby "gal" :) so we ended up going with Gage...and now they call him "gagey"... So that goes to show you no matter what name you decide on for certain reasons, nicknames will come out eventually! :)

Four Gs?? Do share, if you please. :)You are right that Gal is not an awesome nickname. I was wondering about Gallag, actually. But maybe some other options will come to me yet.

Gregory is my oldest:) he is named after both mine and my husbands fathers. Then I have twins boys, Gavin and Grady. And we actually had three sets of names we could never decide on, so we ended up waiting until they were born. As Gavin was born first, when I looked at him, he didn't look like either of the other names we had picked for the first twin born...so they ended up being Gavin and Grady... Then with our youngest, we didn't want him to feel left out, so he ended up being Gage:) so yes...when I am trying to get someone, I usually end up calling at least three names before I get the right one!

Yeah, but that happens even when your kids all start with different letters. :)
Actually, as far as all Gs are concerned, you diversified other sounds pretty well! Were the other twin name options also matching letters? Are you intending to be done having kids? Or are you going to have to come up with more Gs yet?

Yeah, the other twin names were same beginning letter, but not g. I honestly don't even remember what they were, now. I should have written them down:) I do remember one set started with D, and one with an H... I always hated it when twins names didn't begin with the same letter! Lol. I don't suppose that it really matters, but when I was pregnant, it was a HUGE deal:)
Anyways... I don't really know if I'm done:) I wouldn't mind one more, I always wanted a big family, and yes, I know, four boys is a big family:) I'd love a girl, but if. to, another boy would be fun, too. If I did, I can't help it, I love the name Gracelin. So that would probably be a girls name...I know it's pretty popular, but it's been one of my favorite names with each pregnancy, and at this point, why not? Lol...and for a boy, it would probably end up being Grayson, Gallagher, Galloway or Gunner... Not much else I like in the "G" category!
