so i'm on spring break. and josh is in the office doing homework. i've logged more internet hours this week than the past six months combined. i've even put up away messages! haven't done that since taylor! but there must be something else for me to do!
well, there's always the baby name contemplation. i want a classic name. not a 20 second name. not an overused name. unique.. yet classic.
that's exactly what we thought olivia was until we researched it on the social security website and found that it was the fifth or sixth most popular baby name of 2003 or 2004. but by that time, we had fallen in love with the name Olivia. except that i can't think of any cute nicknames. Ollie? Livvie? Libbie? i don't really like those.
I do like Ella. when you write it lowercase with a times new roman 'a', then it's the same upside down as rightside up. i thought that was unique. it's classic, too. it's been used... it's well heard of (ella fitzgerald), but it's not overused (like jessica, or elizabeth). also, it would kind of be like naming her after me. Ella, Elizabeth.. too much of a stretch? what would a good middle name be? josh's mom and sister's middle names are marie and that goes good with ella... but it's such a common middle name. i grew up with the middle name "anne". i don't want common. Ella Mae? but that's so southern, and we're definately yankees. i wouldn't mind moving to the south, though... atlanta, anyone?
Those are pretty much the only serious ones in the running until you folk out there give me something more to choose from. Adelia is a pretty name, and it comes from my family, but josh can't quite say it right without slobbering all over himself. (sorry, shouldn't make fun of the hubby, that was a great exaggeration). but it's definately unique...
well, now that you know what i want, get on it!
beth (and baby - who doesn't have a name yet...)

Dont worry, guys usually dont like their kid's names, they just get used to it. Adalia would be fine :)
You should check out Katurah though, it's a good one. Biblical too.
Make a prize for whoever gives you the suggestion of the name you like best, like a personal visit with the baby or something :)
