Girl Name Issues
Feb. 6th, 2013 12:54 pmWe’re having one heck of a time coming up with a name for our second daughter, due in May. I posted back when we found out the sex that we had chosen Lily Nicole. Lily was my choice, and Nicole was hubby’s. However, I just don’t like Nicole. And if I dump on that, then I lose Lily. Not a huge deal, because there are plenty of girl names that I like. The problem is coming up with one we can both agree on. I came up with Emma Catherine, which I absolutely adore. Hubby agreed to test drive it, but he hasn’t really given me an opinion one way or the other. Last night I was watching Reba McEntire’s sitcom, and the eldest daughter’s name is Cheyenne. Hubby mentioned, as he has before, that he loves that name. I like it too, I think it’s really pretty. My issue is finding a middle name that goes with it. Nothing seems to fit for me. So I’m going to suggest it as a middle name. My other problem is that when I think of the name Cheyenne, I think of a blonde. Putting the name Cheyenne on a brunette just doesn’t work for me. So I thought maybe if the baby’s dark haired, we could call her Emma, and if she’s fair haired, call her ? Cheyenne. Next problem is that I love the name Kira. Kira Cheyenne is adorable to me. But, for those who have seen Reba, you know that Cheyenne’s younger sister’s name is Kira. If we went that route, do you think people would think us Reba nuts? LOL. If you heard the name Kira Cheyenne, would you immediately think of that show? Or am I being paranoid? Sorry if this seems kind of disjointed. There are a lot of questions sort of jumbled up in my head, and I couldn’t really get them out in an organize fashion.
