As I've come to realize over the last 8 months - a lot!! Brian and I agreed when we found out we were having a little girl that we'd keep the name a secret until her birth. Well lucky for us, this hasn't been too difficult since we haven't decided on a name yet! In the beginning, we had a boy and a girl name that we loved but no less than a month later (and after we found out it was a girl) we had ditched the girls name and had created a short list of a few other favorites. Just the other day Brian threw out a whole new name that we'd never discussed before, calling that his #1. Oy vey! I certainly thought it might make things a bit easier when we knew the sex, but that hasn't mattered one iota!
I hadn't appreciated all the little aspects to picking a name for our little baby in the beginning. As the DD gets closer, we seem to be even less likely to commit to a name prior to her birth. For starters, you have to decide if it goes well with your last name... Gerges, sounds sort of easy, right? Not always! Then you have to decipher from the given name, if you'll have a nickname and if that nickname works with Gerges, etc. Then there is name association, spelling, and the list goes on and on. Just to make things even more complicated, my wonderful husband, decided about 2 weeks ago that all names ending in an A, are out. Julia, Olivia, Emma, Stella, you name it, if it ends in an A - it's out. Hmm, thanks Bri for complicating this so much more! :)
So... we're being quite indecisive but we're confident when we do pick, it'll be the perfect name for our little girl. Your guess is as good as ours at this point as it looks like we'll be making a decision when we get to meet her! Just 8 weeks away now!!!
