The Name Game
After yesterday's oh-so-dull blog, I decided to have some interactive fun! Sort of...
I suppose I could have done a side-bar poll, but I am bored, so bear with me.
We have been trying to decide on names for our baby, and I am allowing you all here, on my very own blog, to state your opinion (not that it will really matter or effect our decision, but I am trying to make you feel loved. Ha ha ha!). We really want to stick to family names, and some of those are french so don't freak out.
Boy Names:
First Names:
Jeremiah (A variation on a theme)
Jonah (I am the whale)
Jude (as in Jude Law, not Judas Iscariot.)
Middle Names:
Armand (Herman, in regular English, but that may not work since the only Herman in our family was questionable...although, the kid's intials would be JAC, and that would be so cool to be able to call him Jack!)
Michael (anybody know a particularily nasty Michael? I didn't think so.)
Etienne (A little weird, I know, but it is the French form of Peter, and the Apostle Peter was awesome. You can't tell me he wasn't.) *I have been corrected. Etienne is STEPHEN. I knew that, but I am brain dead.*
Girl Names:
First Names:
Bella (No, not Isabella, and NO definately NOT after Bella from the "Twilight" series. Just Bella. Like the guy who played Dracula.)
Angel/Angelle (As in AN GELL, not AIN GLE)
Haven (Eva, Haven, wouldn't it be cute?? We would have two similar names!)
Middle Names:
Rose (I wanted to go for Rosalin, but Jeremy gagged).
Adelaide (I am a sucker for fancy names. I mean, Eva's middle name is Genevieve.)
So, there you go. Give me your votes!

Jeremiah was a bullfrog (song)
Michael Jackson :(
Jude the Obscure (Thomas Hardy novel)
Etienne is actually Stephen not Peter (Pierre is Peter)
Jac... Jacques
Haven---Heaven
Lida Rose (song)
I have known several Michaels that have been real stinkers so I'm not fond of the name myself. I understand your reasons for liking it, so that's all I'll say.
I actually don't like any of the first names for girls you picked out. :(
I do, however, like Adelaide Rose. :P
Jude Armand .... that really rolls off the tongue and the initials JAC are super cute.
My dad's name is Michael, so how could I not be a fan of that? We actually plan on using that if we have another boy.
For girls and based on your defenses, Haven Adelaide is the winner for me. Although, when you are trying to curse their names because they are getting into trouble (who does that anyway?) Eva and Haven together could be quite the tongue twister.
Happy baby naming!
Boy: John Ronald Reuel with the nickname "Tollers"? Too obvious?
Girl: Edith Goldberry -- Not quite so obvious....
The only serious imput I had in the naming of our children was with you.
Word verification came up with "Dingual", a name that works regardless of whether the baby is a boy or a girl.
