babynamesWe may have decided on a name for poor ol' Zyggie the Zygote, who is now about 8 inches long and weighs a pound! She had the hiccups on Saturday, and my husband Ken got to feel her a few times. His eyes got huge!
Adeline Louisa
Honest opinions please, especially from those either expecting or with children. Both names are family names; the Louisa comes from three generations on my mom's side, including my dear great-grandmother, Hazel Louisa, and my grandmother, Betty Louise.
I'm afraid that the name is too trendy or at least too close to trendy names like Madeline and Addison. I also want to avoid nicknames for as long as possible. While I love Addy and Ada, again, they sound too trendy for me. Ken really likes this name, and he's already referring to her as Adeline while I'm stuck on "it" and "Zyggie"! Also, if/when we decide on a name, when and how should we tell our families and other people? I've been advised not to tell until she is here, but I don't think I can physically do that! We're due December 24.

Date: 2006-08-22 01:24 am (UTC)I don't know if I just let my love for the name/it's significance to me make me blind or what, but at the time, I didn't realize Amelia was QUITE as popular as it's getting. to me though it somehow doesn't lessen how much I love her name. and in the long run, she won't be one of MANY in her class (like an Emily or a Madison). and neither will Adeline :)
haha the best friend in question that was pg w/me knew she was having a boy too, so no worries there for us either.
