Ohhh...you are good!
The problem is that my husband and I are are totally on different pages when it comes to naming this child.
Our first is a boy, Kaiden. I loved this name and he did too, so it was not a hard decision when naming him.
This one will be a girl. I like names that are less common. I.E. Evelyn, Amelia, Karlyn, Claire/Clara, Madelyn (although I think that one is creeping up to become very popular) Camille...etc. I think I am more of an old fashioned type.
My husband, on the other hand, loves the names Addison, Madison, Abigail, Taylor....more trendy popular names.
It's not that I don't like those names (in fact I think they are all very pretty-so no offense to those who have kiddos named that), but my problem is that I hear them all the time. I think I know of 6 Addisons from friends kids, kids that go to our story time, etc. Once we dropped Kaiden off at church day care and there were literally 3 Addison's in the group of only like 10 kids!
He likes "Grace" as a middle name. Again, I love it, but I have heard that used as a middle name 4 times in the past 2 weeks. We don't really have a "family name" that we are hoping to use except I would consider Leigh (my middle name) or Louise (my mom's middle name).
Thanks for your help!
I will check out your blog posts for inspiration. Until then, I am going to keep hitting up the internet sites.
Yesterday I was looking on a site that does baby announcements. I got some ideas from there. But I will try the forums.
Thanks!
BTW....I am a former Philadelphian (I think you are from that area?). Well, I'm from Valley Forge area. My parents still live there and we are thinking of moving back because we are a growing family and I am going to need grandma and grandpa's help!
