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! ;)

The League of Incredible Vegetables: Movie Review

Picture borrowed from  Christian Film Database Another movie review! I was so thrilled when I was walking through Best Buy before Christmas and saw this  DVD sitting on the shelf. If you are a boy mom like myself you know that they love super heroes. I struggle to find age appropriated super hero movies for Monkey to watch. He loves Spiderman, Batman, Iron Man, ect. and he has not seen any of the movies/shows that go along with them. Wait...he did watch The Avengers with Daddy one day while I was out. I haven't seen that one so I can't say what I think of it for a 3 year old. Anyway, I love Veggie Tale movies! I think that they do a good job of teaching lessons to kids in a way that they understand and I love the lessons they teach! This one is great because it is about fear and how if you trust God fear can't freeze you. If you have kids, especially boys this movie is great! It helps them get the superheros they want to watch without the bad guys th...

Y3W: I'm Not Perfect

I'm not perfect. I think you already know that as no one is perfect on this earth even though sometimes people can look like it on the outside. I do post many things about the good things going on in my life because I would rather talk about those then dread on the bad or negative things. However today I'm going to make sure you know that I'm not perfect by a long shot. Since about last Wednesday (so over a week now)I have been struggling. I haven't been doing great in my alone time in the Word, I haven't been praying like I was, I'm craving foods that I shouldn't and eating them instead of praying about it and have gained a few pounds back, I'm not doing great on the house work and I'm struggling in making the right decisions in my parenting as Monkey is entering into this new independent/I'm not listening stage. I know what has caused this struggle and I have been working on it but I have been doing alone and not letting God help me through...
