Oddly enough

Back to the baby name thing - can we say NEUROTIC together?!

Kevin and I have not one but TWO boy names that we love and are excited about. SO surely this will be a girl because yeah we do NOT have ONE single girl name that we like or can think of that is (a) not in the top ten most popular names in the universe and (b) that we just hate... Well, we have plenty of time, right!?

I was also fascinated by the fact that my two nieces (Alexandra & Sofia which is spelled differently then the most popular Sophia but whatev...) as well as my sister's name (Adriana) were all in the top 100 names list from Babycenter.com for 2007! I knew that Alexandra and Sofia were popular names in the past 15 years (Alex is going to be 14 next month and Sofia is four so this is not shocking I guess...) I was most surprised by Adriana just because I have never met any other Adriana's in my life besides my mother and sister. Any who...

Oh and I suggested Gabriella (thanks for the suggestion Jennifer!) because I really liked the name and Kevin said 'well that is the name of Matt R***'s kid...' I was like 'ah yeah. I hardly know those people and they live in flippin' Canada so therefore I cannot name my child this?' I feel like that is like saying my sister's best friend's uncle's daughter is named a particular name so I cannot use it... I mean really - when did he get all anal about this naming business anyway. It would be different it were say their dog's name or someone he did not like.

SO I am hunting for girl names. I have some I like but I think - no I know - that Kevin will dislike them. AND all of this is subject to change and why oh why am I being so stinkin' neurotic about this... I do not need to be neurotic until week 20 or even you know two weeks before the baby is due and we still have not picked that girl name... Ekkk...

I am starting to scare even me ;)
