You know those people who have the baby named before it’s even conceived? You know who you are. Two people, so in sync that they can agree on a name together without much fuss – something Blaine and I are not. So not. With that in mind, anyone have name suggestions that flow with our others – and preferably don’t re-use any of their first initials? I’d willingly give up that one if I found a truly great name though – that Blaine agreed to.
And before you think this is easy, let me assure you, it’s not. Eden Rayne was the earliest named at around 7 months, Liberty Skye, and Sterling Blaine got their “If it’s a…” names around 8.5 months gestation, and dear Miss Ruby was several hours old before Blaine finally told me I could choose from our list of “Maybe’s” and name her. Morphine had a play in the naming of Ruby Alexandra, in case you were wondering. Morphine in me, not Blaine. Obviously.
So if you have any suggestions, comment away. And if your find your comment deleted, you may very well have won first place – and with it, the recognition of having named that baby. In the meantime, I’m thinking five kids might be plenty. Ten names later (well, eight, if you want to be specific since this one is yet unnamed) this hasn’t gotten any easier. We’ve used up all the good ones up. 20,000 names in my baby name book and nothing jumps out anymore. Might be a good time to stop. Or build a bigger blog, with more readers. Someone should be able to think of something that way, right???
