tentative girl's name

[chadwah.livejournal.com]

So I've posted before, but here's the rundown:

we have two girls:
Ezra Grace
Elspeth Dove

I'm due with #3 end of November, and we're not going to find out the gender before the birth.

For a boy, we've picked out:
Josiah Birch

Girl's name is still a little up in the air, but yesterday we discussed one, and it's the first one that really seems "right":

Adeline Ruby

I like the link to Proverbs 31 -- the "r" name is also to honor my dad (Roy Stanley - Hebrew name Reuven Shlomo) who passed away in '08. Also like that we can use Addie as a nickname (because although I dearly love the name Ada, it wouldn't work -- it's the name of my grandpa's recently deceased, very long-term girlfriend, and I know it would really bother my grandma).

What do you think? We'd pronounce it with a long "I" sound in the last syllable.

We're not set on it, still kind of letting it sink in, but I like it...

I personally think it's beautiful. Adeline was on my list for a girl until my brother-in-law and sister-in-law named their daughter Adalyn. I would have pronounced it differently, but it was still way too close. I love the combination with Ruby, as well. Nice choice!

i always like the idea of the name adeline, but have no base pronunciation for it -- yours would be pronounced adda-line, then? i like the way it sounds next to ruby.

josiah birch is cool, too.
