Baby Names

Here is the current list of names for the baby. Looks like we are a little shy on boys names, but it's still early. There is a tradition in my family that the oldest boy in the family is named John. My name is John. My dad is John. My grandfather is John. My great-grandfather was John and so on... Reportedly this goes back for many generations. Some day I hope to trace this lineage to see just how far back it goes. Anywho... this is why all the first names on the boy's list are John, the middle name can and always has been different than the generation before. Let me know what your favorite is!

surfing blogs and I just have to say Anna is my fav name. It's not one you hear every day and it's a beautiful and strong name for a girl.

I really like John Douglas, and of course John Stuart is an awesome name, but a lot to live up to! Nora is one of my favorite girl names...apparently there was a Nora way back in my family tree with a sassy fashion sense, and whenever my sister or I dressed tacky, my mom would admiringly compare us to her.
