Name Game...OVAH!

We’ve finally come up with a decision!!

We are naming our little girl….

Avery Ann Levesque

We appreciate all the input and suggestions from everyone. It gave us a lot to think about.

People may be wondering, what is the reason behind this name?

Well, it’s simple. “Avery” was the first name on a street sign we saw after we found out it was a girl. I assume this is how most people decide on their unborn child’s name, looking outside the window while driving and saying the names on street signs until one sticks. Besides that, we both really liked it and we eventually figured that it was a sign (literally and metaphorically) and since we could both agree on it, we would go with it. Ann was simple enough as this is after my mom and a name I’ve always liked.

Spelling was the only other thing we weren’t sure about. I kind of liked spelling it “Avary.” That way we could call her “Ava” for short. That is until one of the good natured mommy bloggers pointed out that it was one letter away from the word “Ovary” and completely ruined it for me. So we are sticking with the original spelling as I’m sure our little girl will have a tough enough time growing up with a uni-sex name. Though I'm sure I'll call her "Ava" for short just to confuse things.

There you have it. Only took us a month and half but we figured it out.

All in all, if you are planning on having kids I’d recommend thinking about names now. There’s just so much to consider that you don’t even think about and by the time you find out if it’s a boy or a girl all you want to do is name ‘it.” Or, just do what we did and name your child after a street sign on the way home from the hospital.
