What's In A Name?
Another point we've dedicated some significant time to is what name to give our child. We don't know the sex of the baby yet (we'll find that out on August 8th) but we have picked out names for him/her. After books gave us insight to names, and after we considered family names and tried to avoid the most popular names out there we have made what seems to be a finalized decision about it. Robert mentioned that he went to school with what seemed like 10 Courtney's and Allison's, and in our circle of friends there is such thing as too many Jeff's.
In an attempt to have our child stand relatively alone without giving him/her an outlandish or pretentious (in our opinion) name like Zander or bringing back a name like Mildred, we've settled on names that will hopefully give our child a name that can not only be timelessly age-appropriate but give them a name they won't have to explain to every teacher or government employee for the rest of their lives. It's one secret we'll keep until the end...
