Why is picking a name the hardest part about having a baby. The pregnancy isn't fun always, but its not horrible, the epidural makes labor and delivery tolerable, but picking a name isn't easy at all. It is a name the person will have for life. Does it work for them as a kid? Does it for them as a teenager or adult? Will they get teased? Will people be able to pronounce it correctly the first time? Will people spell it correctly? Will people just think it is "interesting" (a nice way of saying weird)? Is it so popular that they will always have 2-3 friends with the same name each year? These are the things going through my head constantly....
We have a boy name, and have had it for a long time...which is probably why Ellery was a girl. It would have been too easy to have a boy. Well same dilemma this time around. We still have that boy name but struggle to find a girl name. (probably going to be a girl again too-just a feeling I have). But we are making progress. No for sure names yet, but we did get a girl name we both liked and Chad said I could put it on the "short" list we are creating. It's a step in the right direction..even though we still have plenty of time ahead of us. :D
