If DH had let me name the twins the way I wanted to (John Robert Paul and David Michael Patrick--we dropped the last name on each), then this would be Joseph Benedict Anthony/Andrew (not sure which)...
I actually had a dream with boys with these names...and I'd REALLY like to see it come true! So I'll help it along, maybe...lol
Rachel (if this one is a boy that looks like DH, with my coloring, well, folks, I'll probably pass out)

Rachel, We used Benedict because Mark was one of twins, with the other, who is our angel Scholastica, passing early in the second trimester.

LeeAnn, do you call her Leeena (long e) or Lena, like Len-uh? We call ours Layna (and spell it that way, too, even though her first name is pronounced Hell-in-uh (like "going to Hell in a handbasket"--sometimes DH will just look at me and say "in a handbasket"--and it gets us both laughing...lol).
She's named for one of DH's aunts (Helen) and one of my great-aunts (Ardith--that aunt died right after I found out about my pregnancy, otherwise, she would have been Helena Elizabeth, lol).
Rachel (who thinks Julia Faith or Joseph Benedict for this latest wee one being knit) |

Our Helena is called LAY-nuh, because we pronounce her name huh-LAY-nuh...I think because we had a friend Elena and we liked it. I know the usual pronunciation is HEL-en-uh or hel-LEE-nuh.
She is named for St. Helena, mother of Constantine, and the town of St. Helena, CA (good memories) and my stepmother whose name was Suzanne Ellaine (Ellaine and Helen are the same name).
Funny, our next one is named for St. Elizabeth, Elspeth Marie. :) I think Ardith is very pretty too, though. Very Elvish!

Yes, I like Elena too. But I wanted to tie the family thing together, so her name is Hell-in-a, but we call her Layna.
That might get confusing, if we ever got together...lol.
Altho with you in WA and me in OK...lol.
How old is your Helena, and is she anything near as mischievous as mine?
Rachel

Lisa, we were going to name him Joseph Benedict cause of my dream. It was one of those particularly "odd" dreams...one you remember really really clearly? I had three sons (I thought that they were triplets...two looked identical--with the sandy, paler coloring my boys--conceived and born after the dream, and another one that looked just like DH, only he had my coloring...auburny hair, brown eyes--ah, but he had his daddy's smile....  But I knew their names..it was a very interesting dream...maybe the boys will take Paul and Patrick as their confirmation names... 
It was a WONDERFUL dream. God be praised if it comes true...
