When I was in high school, I boldly stated to all my
girlfriends that when I got pregnant and I had a girl I would be naming her
ARIES. That’s right, an astrological sign. This is mainly because I was a pseudo-hippie.
I was only a hippie in the sense that I bought astrological books, had two
grateful dead t-shirts and burnt incense. The worst thing about maintaining
friendships with people from High School (Megan Johnson) is that they remember
these embarrassing tidbits. Despite my original decision we will not be going
with this for the name. Since my husband doesn’t want to play the name game
with me until we find out the sex I’ve recruited my friend’s and family. Here
are some names that were suggested…
Girl: I’d like to use “Ann” as the middle name after my mom.
Cameron: This is the
front runner. My friend Ali text me not knowing that this was my favorite to
say “how about Cameron?” so at least someone else likes it. Her nickname would
be Cami.
Chloe: Kat’s
suggestion. Even though I like it..naming my kid after a Kardashian may be a regret someday
Xotchitl: My sister’s suggestion. Inspiration
came from Flava of Love…though I’m fairly certain she was kidding, I wouldn’t
chose it on the fact that the kid would never find a name magnet, ever
LeConor: My brother Conor suggested this one.
I’m not sure if he intended this to be a girls name but it sounded about right.
Again, no name magnets for this kid
Boy: I’d like to use “Paul” as the middle name as it’s the
name of my father in law and my husband’s middle name.
Scott: My husband
likes the name Scott and it’s one of the only names he has contributed.
HOWEVER, I dated a Scott in 7th grade and I’m fairly certain he is
currently in prison now and my good friend Andreo and I almost stopped being
friends over this awesome catch so I’m going with a big hell no on this one
Striker-My sister
came at me with this gem after 3:30pm. She was really testing my mood then.
Sawyer: Ali’s
suggestion. Yes, one of my favorites as well. And no, it’s not only because one
my favorite characters in LOST was named Sawyer…just a very neat coincidence
Holden: Ali’s
suggestion and yes very “Catcher in the Rye
Conor, Connor, and Conner: All very great and well
thought out suggestions from my brother Conor…I’m not sure where he gets his
inspiration but we will definitely take these names in to consideration!! J
Names I’m not allowed to use by request of Sadie Stone:
Jude, Leif, and other hippie names I will need to run by her first.
ANY OTHER SUGGESTIONS?!
Boy: Rene Jonathan Levesque
ReplyDeleteGirl: Nicole Ann Levesque

You have to check out the most popular names of last year and stay away from them. Otherwise they will be forever known as Madison L in school.
ReplyDeleteI am partial to Tegan(my daughter) and Hudson(was suppose to be Tegan if a boy)
Stay away from Michael. Never knew a good one...always in trouble.
And remember whatever you name them, someone will try to shorten it or add a y to the end...
We came up with really bad names to tell people because everyone thinks they have a say in what you are going to name your child. That way, when my children were born, suddenly Tegan and Draco wasn't so bad.
I'm pretty sure you forgot the most important of my contributions.... Princess Beyonce.
