Well, as anyone who has had a name (which is all of us!) and for those of us parents who have had to think long and hard about choosing the best name for our little peanut...this has to be one of the hardest things to decide on before the baby comes along.
You want to consider your heritage, pay respect to any family members that have come before. You need a name that you can yell in the playground and not have it sound like your sneezing or throwing up or gabbering to yourself..and you definitely need to find a name that won't turn into a curse when your child is on the school playground. Kids have amazing knacks for finding tease words to rhyme with a child's name (I know, I've been there!).
With Evan and Kira we had very little difficulty in finding their perfect name, and of course as soon as we were formally introduced to eachother (after countless hours of labour!!) the names suit them to a T.
So why, oh why, are we having difficult with choosing this LO's name?
We have finally decided on middle names (or have we really?!). For a boy it will be Harold - which is a nod to both of our families history. For a girl - Irene, which is a nod to the great grandmothers of the families (Irene is also one of my middle names).
Anyways...so we have the middle names....but the first names?
Since we are Team Green and won't know until the babe's birthday exactly WHAT it is going to be (and no I have NO inkling whatsoever one way or the other), we have to pick TWO names. *sigh*
So I have polled the names we have thought up and that we like (the polls are at the right side of the page). We're pretty set on Paige for a girl, but I do love the name Jane too....
Your thoughts and any other Irish/English suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
On a totally different note, things are going well - HORRIBLE heartburn but what can you do? :P I have a doctor's appointment this Wednesday..a Glucose test coming up (it checks for gestational diabetes) and another ultrasound next Monday. Crossing my fingers we get some more pictures that I can post!
Baby is moving around and grooving and generally appears to be having a grand time cooking away in my tummy. Can't wait to meet it!!

My problem with Liam is that it's prone to mispronunciation. For example, I would say it phonetically "Lee-am". I'm not sure if that's the right pronunciation though.
Owen makes me think of Owen Wilson. Not necessarily a bad thing.
Aidan, I think of Aidan Quinn, who I had the biggest crush on when I was younger.
so guess where my vote lies in.. :)
