Aww, congrats to them on their newest daughter. She’s a cute little peanut, and I like her name.

YAY… I remember when we were all suggesting names… Paloma was one of the ones I said… and I am thrilled that she used it, as it is really a beautiful name and certainly not overly common.

Katie – Just because it’s religious doesn’t mean it’s not a family name too.

“Belen” is Spanish for Bethlehem…so its a religious name, not a family one

angelbaby33- I’m personally not planning on following in the tradition of giving my children their fathers name as a middle name. I have another tradition in my family where the first name is given after a relative who has passed away, and thats what I’m planning on doing with the middle name.

Thank you Victoria and Cassie for the info on Russian names! It is very interesting how different cultures carry on names. Now will either of you use the same tradition and follow suit with the middle names or is it frowned upon to give them a different middle name if you wanted to? Just curious how it works!

Maybe Belen is Sean’s Mom or Rachel’s Grandmother?

I also thought that Evita was a nickname – her given name is Eva Pilar?

congrats to them i know personlly you dont find many familys with that many kids i also know that with 8 kids my family is an “oddity” now but it used to be common to have at least 5 kids i understand that theirs reasons people dont have more than one but i just had to say how refreshing it is to see that their are still people out there who have a big family

Wow 5 kids within 8yrs apart, good luck to them when those kids are all teens lol. I wonder if they will have more. Pretty cool how they had girl boy girl boy girl.

Wow – they really have their hands full. What beautiful names they have given their children.
