We are happy to announce we have finalized (well, we think so at least) our girl name for our baby! Well, we don't really have anything to announce, as we are keeping the name along with gender a secret. We have had our boy name set since we were first pregnant with Meredith, so for about 2 years now. However, we have struggled with our 2nd girl name, just as we did with Meredith. I remember coming up with Meredith and trying to get Chad on board for several months. He came up with her middle name of Grace, though, which was absolutely perfect! This go around, Chad came up with a name and after looking through baby names lists for months, we came across a similar-type name that we both like. Woohoo!
I'm all about easy-to-spell, feminine, yet-strong girl names. That's probably why it's so hard - it's like finding a needle in a haystack with all the crazy spellings/names that are out there. In other words, we want to be unique, without being too unique! Plus, we have about a million cousins, so that makes it even more difficult. We are ruling out names that have been used as our first cousins' names and their childrens' names. Thank goodness we haven't ruled out any 3rd cousins' names or we would probably have to invent our own name.
There are still four months left to decide if we made the right choice. For now, the name will be "baby", and unfortunately, possibly "it" from time to time.
