Before we found out the gender of our sweet baby, we had names picked for both a boy and a girl. I know that everyone has different opinions about names, so I'll share mine. I am not at all saying that any one else's opinions are wrong or that mine is right, but just that everyone has on opinion. This in itself makes naming a baby hard. And once you've chosen a name you will get everyone's thoughts, good or bad. Its one of the many areas parents judge each other. So, if you don't want to hear it, save your baby name announcement for after birth.
So my rules/pet leaves for baby naming are as follows:
1. No juniors. I have a friend whose husband is a junior. They live in the same city and are constant!y getting each others mail or getting mixed up in general.
2. Name your kid what you want to call them. If you want to call them a nickname, name them that name.
3. Nothing too popular or trendy. Eventually it will be not cool or they will have 4 kids in their classes with the same name.
4. Nothing too weird. This includes changing normal names to a unique spelling. No one will ever spell it right or pronounce it correctly. And the poor kid can't buy anything with his/her name on it unless you get it special ordered.
OK, so our boy name which we will never use (we are so done after this. 7 is God's perfect number and after she gets here, we will be a family of 7) is Luke Wesley. Luke is a good Bible name that means light giver and Wesley is my grandfather's name. All of my kids have family names (mostly as middle names).
Our sweet baby girl's name is Julia Renee. Julia means youthful and Renee is after my sister. Actually Jill Renee, my sister's name, means exactly the same as Julia Renee. Renee means reborn. I tend to like simple names that aren't too simple or too common but not mistakable or causing confusion as to spelling or pronunciation. So there you have it.
