My girls.

Jovi Reagan, 2 1/2 years
Aven Brooke, 3 months

The name of our first girl came super easy - we knew she was going to be Jovi as soon as we found out we were having a girl. Our second girl.. not so easy. Her name was up in the air (between Aven and Myla) pretty much right up until birth.
Having a "v" in each name was completely unintentional. We never set out to have both girls have 4-letter names with vs in them. Just happened that way, I guess! The six-letter middle names were unintentional as well. Our last name is 3 syllables so we wanted shorter first names, that was the only "requirement" if you want to call it that.

Also, this may seem a silly question, but I'm fairly certain I've heard it pronounced both ways. "Leah" do you pronounce it "Lee" or "Lee-uh"?

Thirdly, how do you feel about "ie" nicknames on older people? For example: Stevie, Joey, Danny, Emmy, etc.?
