STRESS!

[summereats.livejournal.com]

I'm not due til the 7th of July and we don't want to find out the sex of the baby. I am starting to get REALLY stressed out about names! I mean, how do you just pick a name and subject someone who you haven't yet met to a name for the rest of their lives (or til they can legally change it) that will affect people perceptions of them? STRESS. People are saying to me, the baby will tell you when the time comes. I just have visions of my child at 18 saying mom, you're gonna have to give me a name.

Here's a short list anyway, names i like but none that i love love! It's a mixture of Irish (hubby) and Filipino/Spanish (me) names and others in between. Any jump out at you?
