i have an ever-expanding baby name list. :( the thought of naming the little one is just--overwhelming. i guess i feel like i have to worry if it will be unique enough, but not STRANGE..(my name is andra, unique..but not bizarre and i loved it growing up). this will be the 6th great grandchild in the family...actually, 7th, because my cousin will have her 3rd before me. these are the names already in the family.

franchesca tai (nn: franki, after my grandpa)
vincent ti (apparently they mean different things in vietnamese)
cheyanne fair
brayden
peyton

I'm not sure if i'm having a boy or a girl yet (i'll find out early july) but i've started compiling quite a list. i keep adding and subtracting from it almost daily. even though i have more girl names, something in my gut makes me think i'm gonna have a boy. so here they are..
btw: the astriks are for names that would exclusively be reserved for middle names, as they are family names.



henry
eoin (gaelic spelling of owen)
grant
mason
morgan
timothy
colt
spencer
elliott
*otis
*mark


clara
ida
megan
ivy
talullah
eponine
cosette (can you tell i love les mis?)
sadie
hazel
audrey
persephone
elodie
*maxine
*stacia
*jean

i don't think audrey is really that popular, nor do i think it will become that. i think it's really popular in this community, but i don't think it's going to go much higher in the general population. i could be wrong, but regardless, it's a gorgeous name and it's not "trendy," just classic.

if you're looking for less popular, though, what about hazel? hazel maxine is gorgeous.

henry otis is cute:) timothy is okay, but i'm not a huge fan (it's on my list of possible middle names for my sons, though, because it's my dad's name).

what about morgan elliott? i forgot to suggest that one.
