So, with just 8 weeks left until baby comes (ok...that's being optimistic...let's say 9 or 10), we realized we needed to get down to business of discussing a name for this new little one.
Oh my.
I am not sure how any of us actually end up with a name. It is such a process, fraught with much difficulty. Inevitably I will hear a name that I like and mention it to Noah and it will get vetoed. Or he'll suggest a name that is so plain vanilla that I just laugh at him. Or we will both like a name and then realize it means something like "female witch of the north" or "man who eats his neighbor." Yah...not good choices.
I remember going through the same thing with Forrest...honestly, I am not sure how we settled on his name, but we did and that's good, because a child really does need a name.
So, we have 8, or 9, or 10 weeks to figure out this little one's name...we'll see...

names are tough, aren't they?!!? mike and i are CONSTANTLY throwing around names.... veto-ing names looking up names and finding out they mean something totally crazy... :) good luck! at the moment we have it temporarily down to 2 names each for a boy or a girl
ReplyDeleteyou don't have to decide now...you can wait to see your son or daughter...and then a name will come to you when you see his or her face!
