Picking a name is hard work. Not only is there the stress of knowing that you have labeled this child for life, but everyone else has a criticism for any name you have considered. We are hopeful to narrow the list to 2 girl and 2 boy names within the next 2 to 3 months (by 25 to 30 weeks). When the baby comes, we hope to be compelled by some type of baby naming spirit to choose the right one of the 2 choices. Or maybe the baby will somehow tell us what his or her name should be. A friend recently told me that Picabo Street named herself when she was old enough to talk. Is that true? Anyway, if you have suggestions, let us know in your comments. We will certainly consider them.Sunday, July 12, 2009

ReplyDeleteI always name things according to their traits. I think that as the baby grows and you begin to realize her personality, it will become easier. Do you have any inclinations as far as origin of names, ethnicity of names, religious names etc?
ReplyDeleteI think I need to choose a name before the baby is grown, Jenn, but I understand your position. Ha, ha. It would be weird to say "Hey, you!" until he or she was 3. We don't have a particular draw to any ethnicity or origin.
