The Name Game
Remember a couple of weeks ago when I mentioned I went to Target and while I bought some things for Henry, I neglected to buy anything for the future girl that's soon to be emerging into our lives? This bit of news was passed on to a certain someone's mother who couldn't believe I didn't get anything and the end result is the very first contribution to what will probably be a very impressive wardrobe for a very lucky little girl:
Pretty cute, eh? Thanks, Bella!
Meanwhile, having a girl means sorting through 5 billion girls names. This is no easy feat, and after having gone through it with Henry, I'm completely over it. A couple of weeks ago I told Dave that since we like the name Henry so much, we should name her Henrietta, shorten it to Henry, and be done with it. We could even call them Henry2. Anyway, we're tossing around a couple of ideas so I thought I might as well take a poll that will most likely have no bearing on our final decision but what the heck, it could be fun. Feel free to write in suggestions in a comment.

We actually talked about carrying on the Raye tradition. I like Holly too. Like Hef's ex-girlfriend says, "Everyday's a Holly-day!"

how come I can't vote twice?? Ah, picking a name, that part kind of sucks doesn't it.
I am thinking the bear coat may be just the right size to hand down to your little one. It is 3-6 month... Provided she isn't an amazon baby could work for those chilly sept. mornings.

If you name her Chocolat Meilleure then you can still call her Henry, just for kicks.

I personally like the name Madeline but maybe you shouldn't use it because maybe I can convince Karen to use it if she ever decides she's crazy enough to go for a third baby.

How about Anaïs?

As in Anais Nin and Henry Miller?
Posted by: Jenn | April 10, 2009 04:12 PM
Yep!

I'm the lone vote for Veronica. That figures... I am big on the meaning of names. Veronica means "true image" and Annie (derived from Ann) means "grace". Based on the meaning I would definitely find myself leaning toward the majority.
