WHAT'S IN A NAME?

Well, I have less then 2 months to go and we are still way up in the air with names.


We have some ideas for girl names, but we are pretty undecided with boy names.


For a boy, we still like Keith, but as a rule, we like longer names (for them to grow up into) with shorter nick names...which you can't do with Keith. We have also considered Robert James, after my two grandpas (call him Bobby). Nicholas (Nick). 


For a girl, we still like Elizabeth, but are not as thrilled with some of the nick names (I like Lizzie best.) We have also considered Danielle (Dani, although Joey says she'll call her Dan), Katelyn (Katie- not thrilled with a name ending in "N" since there are so many friends and family kids names around us that end in "N"), Samantha (Sam & Sammy), Gabrielle (Gabby- not thrilled with that nickname), Allison (Allie- same problem with "N" sound.)


(Absolutely no names that begin in M or J as we already have Joey and everyone else starts with a M. I just don't do that.)


We didn't settle on Josephine until a few weeks before she was born. We really like to over think the name thing and work it from every angle!
