I'm Currently Feeling:  | Opinion on Name...
We are sure we want to name this little one Sean. We were pretty settled on Sean Patrick. However, recently, I started thinking about making his middle name my maiden name Moran instead of Patrick. My husband's middle name is his mother's maiden name and we have other people in our families that followed that tradition too. Our first son is named after both of his grandfathers. Sean is gaelic for John, which is my husband's name. We like names with significance. Patrick is as close to Patti (my name) I guess you can get boy-wise.
Would you go with...
Sean Patrick Adams
or
Sean Moran Adams
Thanks!!  |

| Just voted for Patrick then read why Moran was there - can I change my vote to Moran please? I liked the rhythm of Patrick more but the reason behind Moran makes it win for me! They're both really lovely names though.  |

I'm Currently Feeling:  | I actually voted for Patrick but now I changed my mind! 
I'm sorry,but I think it would be really great the little man had his mommy's roots and maiden name in his.
Patrick does sound better,I give you that but this has bigger meaning and in my case that always trumps!

I'm Currently Feeling:  | I think Patrick fits better, but to have a name with some family meaning is really nice too |

| I voted for Moran. It is more original and has a nice meaning behind it. I'm sure there are lots of Sean Patricks around but probably not many Sean Morans! |

I'm Currently Feeling:  | As said by others.. I voted for Patrick before reading, now I change my mind  we should all start to read before voting, huh? hehe. I think it's a good idea to go with your maiden name, if it's a family tradition. It does go together well, too. |

| Would you consider Sean Patrick Moran Adams?
You could perhaps give all your children Moran as a third name (change your other little fella by deed poll to give him Moran too). The boys as they grow up could use their first two names and have your maiden name as a private hidden extra or choose to use it as they wish. That way they both would have a little bit of their mummy's identity in their names. |
