Narrowed Down

So, after much discussion and debate, we finally have decided on two names we really like. We are not finding out the gender, so I needed at least 1 of each.

Owen Adam
Anna ??

I still need help with the middle name for a girl. His family has the tradition of the first girl's middle name being the grandma's name (so my mom's name). I am not really excited about that idea, as I am not that close with my mom and don't really like her name. That would be Anna Carolyn. I'd like to use Anna Ruth because Ruth was his grandma's name and is my grandma's middle name, so we honor both at the same time. However, due to his traditions that is his sister's middle name and he has said no. I personally like Anna Ruth a lot more than Anna Carolyn. (And I am much closer to my grandma than my mom). The girl's middle name doesn't really have to honor anyone, it would just be a bonus.

What do you think of our names? Do you have any girl mn suggestions?

It's that time again...

I got a list of names for Valentine's Day from my son's preschool, so now that we're done filling out the cards, I figured I'd share.

Adonis
Alexander
Allison
Austin
Avery
Brady
Carter
Connor (x2)
Cooper
Dillon
Duncan
Ethan
Finnley
Greyson
Kaiden
Kaylee
Khloe
Liam (x2)
Logan
Lucas
Marcus
Marlee
Micah (my son)
Paisley (x2)
Ryan
Sawyer
Xavier
Zaine
Zoei

I was most surprised by Adonis, though I suppose that's only because my son and I have had the "Molly?" "No, her name is MARLEE!" conversation a few times when he was telling me about his day and I couldn't understand what he was saying. Also, that spelling of Zoei is really tripping me up.
