How did you choose my name?Ben not Benjamin was Marie's choice, she liked it as Ben but not as Benjamin. Where she came up with it I do not know Ben's middle name was after me, Kent.
Jeffery not Jeffrey mainly because I just mis-spelled it. I liked it better as Jeffery anyway. I saw a sign for a company in Ferron Utah while doing TV repair and just liked it. Marie seemed to like it also and we have both liked it ever since. Jeff's middle name "Kermit" was after my father who had suffered a stroke two weeks before he was born and passed away three months later.
Hayden named after Hayden McMillan in Midland Texas. We taught him the gospel but couldn't baptize him since he was not quite old enough to not need parental permission and his mother was hook on alcohol and wouldn't give permission. It was the first time I had ever heard that name and since then it has become somewhat common and I even discovered a mountain (or peak) named Haydn that is at the headwaters of the Duchesne river. "Verl" Hayden's middle name was after Marie's father.
Tia was chosen by her three older brothers who liked the name from a show called "Escape to Witch Mountain" with Tia and Tony as the stars. The name Marie just seems to go with anything really well and since it her mother's name we gave it to Tia as well for a middle name.
Loren was a favorite name of mine and I even had a relative named Loren Westover on my Grandmother Hansen's side of the family, in fact it was her brother if I have my facts correct. Loren's middle name was after my Scoutmaster Ray Hansen.
Brittany was a name chosen by Marie. It was one of her favorites and I rather liked it as well. We didn't give her a middle name due to the length of her first name.
