Hey all,
So recently my husband received a text from his sister claiming dibs on some baby names. She then told us to claim the names we wanted or we would be forever feuding if we stole a name off of each other's lists. As of now, we are the only ones married and in the process of procreating. In any case, we told her it was much more complicated to pick out names than she thought. First, you have to like a name. Then you have to submit it to your spouse's approval. Then, if it passes that stage, you wait 'til the day when your little gift arrives only to be disappointed that the name you picked does not match the face. So you move on to another name that made the pre-approved list until you either A) select one among the many or B) run out of names and sit in the hospital for two days researching names and matching them to the baby's face. It's quite a process, but in the end you end up with a cute little baby with a name that fits.
We do happen to have a "maybe" name list that I am in-love with, and I hope that the names of my children end up being some of these:
Girls
1. Alaina Nichole
2. Gemma Nylene (pronounced gem-a)
(These two middle names are total maybes.)
Boys
1. Duncan Edwards Thackeray
2. Liam Reed
3. Skyler James
Maybe we'll have six children, maybe we'll have more, and maybe we'll have less. Whatever the good Lord gives us. I hope these names get used!
You have always liked those last two boy names. : ) Jacob and I just can't agree on names almost at all. I think it's probably a decision that will be made when we are actually at the hospital. haha.
