The Name Game

[oni85.livejournal.com]

Girls names are really hard for me. I want this name to be perfect. My best friend, Melissa often tells me I have a "name for the week".

The middle name is going to be Michelle - that's already decided. We love it, and it will also honor my step-father Michael. But while the name is half chosen already, the quest for the "perfect name" is never ending.

I always hated Alysha - and I've gone by Ally for as long as I can remember. I like the name now, and go by it professionally - but I do also remember being a kid. Being surrounded by Jennifers, Jessicas, Meghans, Carries, etc. We had 4 Meghan's in my first grade class! My mother picked names that she though would be unique but not too out there and I think she did a good job.

The top four girls names are: Ava, Elisabeth, Sabrina, and Chloe. Grant, my hubby wants to veto Ava - which leaves me really upset because it's the name that I really like.

But I run into names that I like every day - and it's hard for me to not add them to the ever-growing list of "possibles". :) EG. Carmella, Danielle, Rosalie, Ella, Audrey, etc etc etc.

So, the quest continues... the boy name is equally hard. Especially with a husband who is insisting the boy be named "John". :) (no offense to any John's out there - but come on... the most common name for 75 years, according to the Social Security office.)
