 Once again I'm stuck on middle names, and could really use some help.  We want the baby to have two middle names, one from each family.  Last name is LaPointe.  

Sibsets aren't a huge concern for me, but for what it's worth, our first son will either be Ryan John Frederick or Ryan Frederick John (probably the first.)

I spent a fair amount of time compiling girls' names yesterday after Jeff said he was second-guessing Claire.  He then went through my list and crossed off the ones he didn't like (there were a lot, which I expected) and left:

Madeline
Hailey
Chloe ?
Avery ?
Morgan ?
Kailey **
Kelsey
Kirsten
Allison ?
Paige ?

Ones with ?'s are names he didn't dislike, but didn't know if he liked, either.  Kailey got two checkmarks, which I assume means he loves it.  (I'm still debating on whether or not I'm sold on it.)  I like all the names, but I definitely prefer some over others - still, I don't want to tell you which ones, because I might fall in love with a specific combo.

 My family
* Sydney (grandpa on mom's side)
* Lynn (middle name that runs through mom's family; aunt on dad's side)
Josephine (grandma on dad's side; sister on dad's side)
Rita (grandma's middle name)
Dorene (grandma on mom's side; my 2nd middle name)
Susan (mom's name)
Edith (great-grandma on mom's side)
Lea (my middle name)
Margaret (great-grandma's first name, but she went by her middle name, Edith)

Jeff's family
Joan (his mom)
Bernice (mom's middle name)
Blanche (grandma; I don't know his other grandma's name)
Margaret (his aunt, although we don't see her much)
Lynda (aunt, whom we see quite frequently)
Danielle (his brother's name is Daniel)

Go nuts :)

I'm not sure if I did or not! I'll go check right now.

No, I hadn't gone back to look. There's a couple I really like (Audrey especially!) that I'll have to run by my fiance when he gets home :)

Sounds good. Glad to help. If you want, when you really narrow the first names down, I'll go through all the combos for you to help you find something that flows well.
