I posted and enjoyed this community for many months, then I got busy and trimmed down my LJ interaction, and now I am here with a baby-on-the-way. How strange!

We find out the sex on Valentine's Day. I am so looking forward to calling our little bell pepper (the current size and my favorite food of all time!) by his or her name.

I am Rosalie Margaret and my husband is Christopher (Chris) Richard (his father's name)

If baby D is a boy, he'll be Dominic Christopher. Christopher is sort of non-negotiable due to my husband's desire to continue the passing down dad's name tradition. I don't mind. I like Dom but my husband plans call him Nic, which I am also ok with.

If baby D is a girl, she'll be Susanna.

Some middle names we've considered and (possibly) nixed:
Rose: after me, which I am not a huge fan of. Also, Susanna means lily in Hebrew, but lily and rose are the same in Hebrew, so it's like naming her two words for lily or two words for rose, which I really don't like.
Joy: I love this but it seems so filler. The Marie of the 2000s, if you will. Another name on my top 10 list is Corinna, and I REALLY like Joy with that one much more.
Janine: I like this, mostly for the sentimental reason that it's my grandma's name. I don't love the lack of individual meaning (comes from John, etc).
Jane: I am a huge Jane Austen fan and would love nothing more than to honor her, but people always think it's so plain!
Louise: also my MIL's middle name
Elizabeth: a bit of a family name and one I love. This one helps me see that we sort of like long names.

I would love to hear some suggestions for Susanna. Any and all are welcome. :)

Teddy

I desperately want a son to call Teddy someday. My husband loves it too.
The problem is, he hates Theodore.

I have tried to defend Theodore by going to my family and friends for backup...but they all dislike it/associate it with Alvin & the Chipmunks. Maybe I love the name because I never watched that show.

Anyway, I think just plain old Ted is boring as a name, and Teddy is too childish to be his given name.

To give you an idea of my taste in boys' names, favorites are:
Joseph, Emmett, Simon, and something with the nn Teddy.

Any suggestions to fit my style?
