How to choose a name?

So as I said in this post we are in a debate of whether or not we should find out what we are having. Well this debate has one other problem besides washing clothes and that's picking a name.


We have a girl name. We had it since we first started talking about having kids. We decided on family names for a boy (Rex Daniel, after our grandpas) and a girl (Theresa Kathryn, after my grandma and mom) but now since we used our boy name we need another one. 


We have talked and looked and we can't agree on anything. I love Asher, Azariah, George (after my dad who is a huge part of our lives) and he just keeps saying no. He said he will give suggestions once we find out what we are having. Well that's still up for debate so I think he needs to suck it up and help me think.


We picked out one boy name that we both like but it is very different and so we aren't sharing it with anyone because we are almost certain that everyone will try and talk us out of it. The problem is that even though we finally found a first name that we mostly agree on we can't find a middle name to go with it. 


M suggested the name James as a joke because it's his dad's name. See his dad doesn't speak to us and seems to care less about anything that is going on in our lives and we really don't want to have our child with a name from someone who could treat family so poorly. In our household we are trying to create a very strong family unit. We want our kids to know that we will love them unconditionally and that we will support them through whatever they go through. And M's dad just doesn't support this idea and so we both vetoed James. 


We have looked and looked for more names and nothing. 


Any suggestions on how to pick a name? What happens if we can't agree on anything? Is it OK to have one decide the first name and the other choose the second? And then how do you choose who gets the first name? Seriously we have a few months to go but it's really bothering me that we can't agree on any names.

  1. if you both like the name do not worry about what others will say! Oh and text me the name now! ;)

    People hated (and told us!) the name Jude. Now I look at Jude and know that the name Jude is SO Jude! ;)

Holiday Traditions?

I'm so excited to be co-hosting with Melissa! I have been a long time reader & finally got around to co-hosting! I can't wait to see all of your holiday traditions & I'm sure add a few to my list too! Holiday Traditions? What are those? I'm not sure we have any set up in our family. We never really had anything that we did every year growing up either. So I'm not surprised that we haven't thought about setting anything up for our kids either.

I'm taking the challenge!

I'm taking the challenge and I'm going to talk about the subject many people hush about! SEX!  Normally this would be completely outside my comfort zone (truthfully not sure I will post this as I'm typing) but I figure why not?!?  Being married makes it OK to talk about! We get so much from media that maybe it's about time that more people talk about the appropriated subjects of Sex!  First, let me start off by saying I did not wait until I was married. Looking back I wish I did because I have baggage, my hubby has baggage, and truthfully this subject has been the main topic of the majority of our fights for the past 5 years.  Just recently I started caring more about what I was wearing to bed just like  Mrs. T, Naturally  is talking about.  I'm sure must men would love it if their wives went to bed wearing something like this ------------------>  (I know my hubby would) however when you have little ones around (a...
