What's in a Name?

Hi everyone!  As a result of having a baby soon, we've been thinking a lot about names.  We like one name in particular, but it keeps going back and forth with a few others.  I guess we'll see what she looks like when she comes, and then decide which name fits her best.

 

I've always loved thinking about what to name my kids.  When we started our adoption journey last year, I decided to look up names and write down a list of the ones I like.  It took a long time, because I went to a web site that probably had thousands of names.  Some of them were quite . . . unique.  But I wanted to share with you my list in case you need some ideas of your own, or if you just want to try and guess what we'll name our little girl.  Oddly enough, I liked more boys' names than girls' names.  But there are still plenty of each.  This is my unrevised list from a while ago, not Lance's.  What we've done is, I come up with a list of names, and he gives me feedback.  Then we decide from there.  It has worked out nicely for us, so far.

So, here are the names.  I may put the one we're thinking of, and I may not.  Also, after looking at these again, some of them aren't what I'd choose any more.  You'll just have to be in suspense for another month and a half to see what we choose.  Wow, that's so close!!

  1. I see lots I like! You've sure got a variety of names. Looking forward to seeing what you're going to name your little one.

  2. assuming i ever got married, and then assuming i had any kids, looks like there won't be much competition for a name already being chosen. although i like some of those names, they aren't what i'd choose. and that is perfect...then no duplicates!
