What's in a name?

Well, when you have to think of a name for your baby, it's a big deal. Cos the name will be with her or him for life. So The Hubby and I agree that it should be a name that he or she can grow into an adult with, not something that sounds cute when they're kids and then it sounds odd on an adult.

And that's about the only thing we agree on unfortunately. Most names that I like, he doesn't. And vice versa. It was a pain naming all our 4 girls. We took months to decide cos for every name I came up with, he'd find some reason to dislike. And well, the ones he chose didn't sound nice to me.

Sigh.

So now, at 22 weeks along, we are nowhere near close to choosing her name. Generally, we avoid choosing names that our friends have named their girls, or names of friends, family or people that we don't like.

That narrows it down more. Of course, if you ask my girls, kids being kids, they like favourite cartoon character names and such. Lol :p Lauren asked me the other day to have 3 more babies - she said I should have 3 boys this time and guess what she suggested their names should be?

Alvin, Simon and Theodore. Lol :p I told her I wasn't naming my "kids" (not that I ever want another 3 more) after the Chipmunks. I told her SHE could go name her future boys after them.

It's never easy to name a child... I'm also in the view that "act cute" names are out.

Kenneth and I like the name "Valerie" but we never get to use it. ha..ha..
