we cannot agree upon a name.
such a simple task, some might say... nope, not in this house.
i think deciding on a name is like deciding you want to reproduce again. it's a HUGE deal, not something to take lightly. it's going to be what you call your child from birth til the end of your life. how do you just decide? you could go a traditional route, a unique route or something completely in between, but still. you. are. deciding. i just want a strong but somewhat unique name. something that flows well into our family names as well: dan, sam, gavin and..... what?
when i was younger i thought i had my whole baby name wishlist down to a fine science. of course my kids were going to be two boys and one girl-- so far so good-- and their names were going to be hunter, wyatt and addison. well, i don't particularly care for hunter at all anymore, wyatt is taken, and addison is dan's cousins daughters name... so nope, that's not going to happen. so then when we were deciding names for baby #1 we liked, gavin, mason, connor and trevor..... well we already have a gavin- no need for a gavin #2, mason is my cousins sons name, connor... well it's still in the running (dan's pick) and i can't tolerate trevor anymore, it just sounds funny to me, trevor schroeder. so here were are, again i say; dilemma. it would be fabulous if dan would just give in to my name........ jude, but so far it's not working.
we have the middle name decided and it sounds great with both names we've come up with but still, no luck in deciding.
it shouldn't be this difficult. with only two months left, i would like to get the babes room completely ready for him to come, which includes putting his name on the wall and i don't really want to wait till he's here to try to find time to do it.
so in the next two months we have to decide on a name. a daunting task. i bet we will have a unnamed baby in our arms for at least 30 minutes in february.
