An Extra Thought on Names
Poor Dad is still in the hospital. He's sweet talking the nurses into doing anything he wants, so I know he's on his way back to being more like himself!

Strange question tonight, I know...
If you had a daughter and naming her was solely up to you, what would you name her?
I didn't know you had a blog! I saw your comment on Emily's blog and followed the link! :)
Well, luckily, Gus and I have always loved Rachel adn it was our "girl name" for every pregnancy. And we finally got to use it! :) Still seems like a big name for her as she mostly gets called "baby girl"...lol.
Other names I loved: Leah Amelia Mallory Julia Ava Lydia
I miss you so much, Lanny. Soon I hope to be a better manager of time but, until I do, don't forget me, okay?
My favorite girl's name - Amelia Elizabeth, Amy for short. My favorite boy's name - Thomas Whatever-Husband's-Name-Is. For a girl, I also like Erin, Rachel, Susan and some others I can't think of for now. When I think of them, I'll stop back. HAHAHA!
I am so far beyond babies that I don't think of names anymore....I know a woman who has the cutest little girl and her name is Samantha and they call her Sammy, I have always liked that. I love Grace. Boys names are harder to come up with for me.
I'm a thirty-something mom living in the South (just in case my frequent use of "y'all" didn't give it away). In my prior-to-mommyhood life, I was a teacher. I'm married to my college sweetheart. We have a fabulously funny (and cute!) six year old daughter who keeps us laughing daily and a sweet and busy one year old daughter. We also have a perpetually shedding wonderdog.

Miss you!
Josephine. Not that we want to have kids of course, but that would be the name . . .
Boy? Eddie Jr.
Hmmmmm... I'm done with having kids, but I always said if I'd had a daughter I'd name her Zoe.
I liked Taylor for either gender, as it's a family name, but one of my cousins used it.
eeeek.. I forgot to mention before, there's another basket of laundry waiting to be folded!
Does this crap multiply when I'm asleep?
Girls:
Caroline Grace
Lillian Rose
Julia
Boys:
Jack
Thomas Dean
Colin
Ooh I forgot a few.
Jacqueline- Jaci
Amelia
Isabella- Bella
Sofia
Noah
Benjamin
Elijah
And here are my thoughts on names:
They should be unique enough that they won't have 3 other kids with the same name in their 6th grade classroom.
They should be common place enough that they don't have issues with spelling/misspelling/confusion/ability to prounounce.
My name "tests"
- Would it look nice/normal embroiderd on a high-school sports team bag?
- Would a future employer be able to pronounce it off of a resume?
- Would it look proper on a business card for a traditional profession? But also look good signed at the bottom of a painting or on a book cover?
So glad your dad is doing better.
Names???
Lindsay Grace
Amelia
Madeline
Carlton
Casey
Kellen
Have a good weekend ;)
Who knows?
Girls: Margaret (Maggie), Charlotte (DH doesn't like this one...lol!), Amelia, Elyse
Boys: Samuel, Jonah, Evan(a version of a family name), ????
I am so far beyond babies that I don't think of names anymore....I know a woman who has the cutest little girl and her name is Samantha and they call her Sammy, I have always liked that. I love Grace. Boys names are harder to come up with for me.
I figured out you question! Even though I never post (cause I hardly work out! LOL), I still lurk on the workout thread! Shhh-don't tell! ha!
So very excited for you!! I'd love to hear the final decision when you make one!
Girl- Savannah or Laura- something classic but less common than it used to be.
