The Name Game

So the newest fun I've found in being pregnant is not that I actually am eating saltines (I really think that is the only time people eat those things) but trying to figure out names. When you have taught for a few years and been around camp you end up meeting a lot of different people and therefore name association becomes a problem. Then there is the crazy thing of nicknames and the meaning of names...I'm pretty big into the name have a cool meaning. And last but not least there is both the family name tie in and the spousal agreement...oh so much fun! One girls name I have been thinking about is Emerson. It's my dad's middle name and i have just started hearing it for girls. We would probably call her Emma but I don't know. Kevin wants a jr. but I say HECK NO! So, we thought about Aidan and then I found out it was the most popular boys name last year. His grandpas name was john but they called him jack and i sort of like it but i don't know...

I LOVE Emerson....adorable.

We are often tempted to have more kids just for the fun of naming them. It's an adicting past time. It took a good six months to come up with Matilyn. For some reason (cough: all robb's girlfriends) girl names were hardest for us.

totally understand! I really like Emerson too..to me it is that mix of sentimental and cute but i don't know if the husband sees it that way. He is conviced it's a boy anyway and already calls him jr. UGHHH
