You might wonder why I so urgently want to find a girls name. As I've said before, I'm solid on boys names. We have four names that we absolutely adore. We may narrow that down to two over the next several months or we may take all four names to the hospital with us. Bottom line... I no longer think about boys names. But until I can say the same for girls names... I cannot stop thinking about names. I wake up during the night thinking about names... I just can't stop. So I urgently want to find our top girls names, to give my brain a break!
Yesterday, my friend Linda, let me borrow a couple name books. Now I, of course, have explored many name books, but I was finally able to get a name book in Nathan's hands. And it was amazing. He actually got into it and realized what an important task it is. He threw out all kinds of names I never would have thought he liked... some good, some bad. And while I was so happy to have his serious input... it turned my short list into a very long list. I'm not sure if it was progress towards giving my brain a rest, but hopefully now we'll be able to start focusing on the names on our list.
And while some of you may know a couple of our favorite names... we'll ultimately be keeping our final picks quiet. There are very few surprises in life these days! Did I mention we will not be finding out the gender until the big birthday?!
Oh and I must pass on some wonderful suggestions I've received... ;)
1. Cora Vette (get it?!)
2. Direne (Diane+Irene: a mix between our mother's middle names... doesn't so appetizing does it?!)
3. Firby (Fred+Kirby: a mix between our father's first names... ha!)
while you're going for combo names, you should consider Nelly :D
