Pink little ribbon...

Although my boyfriend, Casey, and I are nowhere near making babies, we have discussed baby names a lot and have come up with the names we'd choose.

Avalanche Joseph (he whittled me on it until I finally came up with this compromise - AJ, Avi, etc.)
Samuel Berwick
Beatrice Cathrine
Madeline Casey (This may sound stupid but I really, really want my youngest to be a girl named Madeline so I can say "the smallest one is Madeline")

All the middle names are family names. Joseph is generally a first name, but Casey doesn't like the name (too common) so I have to use it as a middle name. Berwick is my grandmother's maiden name and is generally used as middle name now. Cathrine is the name of my mother and my sister. And I think you can figure out Casey.

I like how you are using family names and names that are important to you, but Avalanche is HORRIBLE. Please don't saddle a kid with that name because your bf may think it's cool. It won't be so cool in 10 years, I'm sure.

I'm hoping it won't be so cool in six years or so when there's actually a little kid to name. But for now, eh, not worth the effort of telling him off.

Yeah i dont like Avalanche at all. I like Joseph as a middle name (my brother is Kevin Joseph and I think it works well)

Samuel Berwick is a nice name. and I love the name Madeline and think it is nice with Casey.

However, I'm not a fan of Beatrice. Way too old fashion for my style but Catherine is a nice middle name.

Catherine without the middle E? Interesting family quirk!

I'm a bit puzzled about how you'd pick the "youngest" as Madeline.. what if you have another baby girl after her? :P

Mostly I really like the character in Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing. I'm having trouble coming up with a good nickname, though.

It's really hard to find souvineirs with that spelling.

There's a series of books by Ludwig Bemelmans about a little girl named Madeline. They all start out like this:

In in a great big house all covered in vines
Lived twelve little girls in two straight lines
They left the house at half-past-nine
The smallest one was Madeline

All I can do is hope I don't have another daughter after her.

I'm sorry, I still think Avalanche is one of the most ridiculous names I've ever heard. Good God.

No. No. No. Please do not name your child Avalanche.

I like all of your names except Avalanche. What the hell? Does your boyfriend not realize that someday the kid is going to be an adult and most likely he will not be a professional wrestler?

Avalanche Joe. I bet he'd have some interesting adventures. Hopefully reality shows will be out of style by then, but I bet he'd get a movie, possibly a series.
