In this particular context, where you're talking about naming a patch of land for your (?) sons, this is the correct form. It literally means "in the name of my sons," but this is how you would say it in Hebrew.

Igal Moria
: Sue, perhaps this would be appropriate if you were naming the patch of land to commemorate someone; but if the intention is to give a patch of land to someone, than I am not sure this is correct.

But the asker wrote "to name a patch/piece of land" not to give it to someone.

John Kinory (X)
: The asker did specify that it is 'to name a patch of land'. Reading the question is often a good clue to the answer.
