OK so I had narrowed my names down to … Mackenzie, Savanna, or Chelsea but during my ultrasound the doctor said, “its another boy!!!” so now I am totally back to the drawing board. I hadn’t even considered too many boy names because I just “felt like it was a girl.” Guess my intuition isn’t that great. I just had my boy a year ago and thought this time it would be a girl, wrong again. Then some of my friends piqued my interest saying “they can be wrong” so I asked my doctor again last week, and she said “we are absolutely sure it’s a boy!” So now my issue is that I really can’t think of a nice name for my baby boy coming next month. I told my husband that I like “ah” endings and suggested Jonah or Micah (he said “too girly”). Then I suggested Dakota which I think is so cute, and he said it sounded like a good black lab. So I went out last week and bought the cutest baby name book called The Baby Name Wizard by Laura Wattenberg and started looking up sibling names to my son Elijah, and had fun going through the book with a girlfriend of mine. My husband is getting sick of starting out each day with “What do you think of ….?” I think he wants me to just decide on something already! I considered a junior (briefly) but then thought I wanted the baby to have his own name. Last week I wanted a trendy name (like Camden). This week I am thinking I should stick with the classics (like William). For a whole day I liked Trevor but then started to reconsider when I saw the name the next day on the Pottery barn catalog stockings. I was set on Isaac (and calling him Zac) But again, my husband said it reminds him of the captain on the Love Boat, oh come on, and I reminded him how long ago that show was on and that most people with kids didn’t even remember the show! I said Zac “matches” Lex and Eli but only my girlfriends get the “match thing”. I guess he has to like his son’s name too, right? I am not like some of my pregnant friends that have “claimed” names and I don’t want anyone else using the name. I say if it’s a good name, use it again and I really don’t mind if my friends named their kids the same name as my kids. I mean you get a name idea from hearing it used. For example, after reading Sara Smiley’s book, I suggested Owen to my best friend who named her son that and I even added Dustin to my boy name “list” because I think it is kind of cute? Anyway, thinking of names is fun and maybe that is why I am procrastinating making a “final decision” until I see his little face next month. I am just wondering if others have spent this much time thinking of a name that the baby will grow into anyway!
