On Saturday night, I dreamed that I gave birth to my baby in the upstairs bathroom of my house - not on purpose. Kind of a "Oh, yikes! The kid is coming right now!" sort of thing. In my dream, The Husband was still sleeping in our room, so I just took care of business on my own. I saw that it was a boy and I thought, "Aww, MAN! What on EARTH are we going to name this kid?"
Because, you see, the night before I had this dream, The Husband announced at dinner that he didn't like my #1 choice of boy's name. Boo.
So then I spent the rest of the night, in my dreams, wracking my brain trying to come up with a decent male name. We ran out of good boy names when we had the Squeaker, which is why the Cookie ended up being named after an uncle. I woke up thinking that perhaps some of the more obscure names from my family history aren't so bad. When I say "obscure," I mean like "Welcome" and "Leonhardt."
That would kind of make for enjoyable family introductions. The Cookie and Squeaker have regular biblical names so it would kind of be like "...And these are our children, Bob, Dan, and Van Ransler."
I have a HUGE list of adorable girl's names, so there's not really any point to fussing over that. But if we have a boy...well...we just might be in trouble.
We had a boy and girl name all ready with our first baby. He was a boy. With the second we still had our girl name but couldnt agree on a boy name. We started fighting about it and decided it wasnt worth fighting over. We would just wait and see. If it was a girl we were good....if it was a boy we would resume our battle at the hospital. Our second was a girl so we were good.
ReplyDeleteChoosing baby names can be stressful...good luck.
Did you really have a relative named Welcome?

I feel your pain Beth. Tom and I have been struggling to find a name since we found out #3 was on its way. I thought FOR SURE it was a girl so we mostly talked girl names. Plus we ran out of boy names before Emery. We've always had a girl name we liked. Well surprise, surprise it's another BOY! SOOO Tom finally said I can name him whatever I want! Not that I have any ideas either! Your Grandma shared the story of Welcome with me... Might be a good option ;).
