The Name Game

I think we have officially decided on names for our baby girls. It's been tough to come up with two names. Our daughter had her ideas for names which were anything from Hannah to Alice to Clarabelle. And, I know we can't tell her the final names either because the other day she told my Mom what names we were thinking of naming the girls. She told my Mom that she liked Clarabelle though, and of course, all my Mom could think of was the clown (Clarabelle)from Howdy Doody. For this reason, is exactly, why we will not be telling anyone the names we have chosen prior to their births. We did this for our daughter's name and no one seemed to voice negative opinions about her name; of course, only compliments were voiced. I'm excited to have names though. I was nervous that DH and I wouldn't be able to agree, and we'd be scrambling on their birthday to figure out a name. Whew!

  1. Congrats on name decision. It's true no one can really voice anything negative about a name once it's attached to a darling baby (or two). Good work and I'm sure the names will be perfect.

  2. Thanks! Funny thing is, DH tells me after I write the blog post: maybe the names sound too royal! Ha! Go figure! I still like the names, so I hope they stay!

  3. That is great that you have names. I couldn't keep anything a secret with our pregnancy..had to know gender and as soon as we decided on a name EVERYONE knew. My siblings on the other hand are very secretive about their children's names before they were born. It annoyed me a little but when you are the pregnant one you get to make all the decisions.

  4. well, i thought we had names...middle names are set. we are going back and forth with one of the names and its spelling. So, in our case, it's probably a good thing we don't tell anyone yet! :)
