Last time we were pregnant we said we would come up with names we liked and wait on a first name until we spent some time with the baby. Because some names just have a "look" that goes with them imo. We also decided to do 2 middle names and take one name from each family.
I was convinced I was having a girl and the big three names I liked were Chlöe, Zöe, and Olivia. Two days before my planned section (bad idea looking back) my sister called from Germany where she was au-pairing and said "I like the name Lauren." I liked Lauren as well and it was on our list but it was down around the middle. Hours after she was delivered and I finally got to hold her I looked at my little girl and announced her name was Lauren. Surprised dh quite a bit. Her full name is Lauren Elizabeth Linnea A__________-L_________ (last names).
For this baby we have only one girl name picked out: Nova Elin Marie. I'm originally from Nova Scotia and I lovelovelove the fact that her name will mean something and with ties to family being so important to me....
For a boy I like Lennon and Cohen. Dh nixed Cohen right away. We both like Vincent but my sister claims everyone will call him Vinny Bobarino (Welcome Back Kotter) I don't think so but it is one of those things that someone says and it sticks with you. We're looking at Lennon Joesph Ellis or Vincent Joesph Ellis. But then I might just make something up on the spot.
I really really want another girl so I can use the name Nova.

: I didn't even think of it sounding like Albany, thanks! BTW, all threw highschool I loved the name Lydia, but it's just too popular for me now, I saw two at the store the other day *rolls eyes*
