Someone will either hate the name, or your mum will be crushed that you did not name your baby after her! We still have a boys name chosen, if Thomas ever gets a baby brother, but after having so many girls, it was really hard for us to decide on a girl's name.Finally we thought Trinity would be perfect, but couldn't think of a middle name at all. Once she was born, and we could hold her and really see her, Gregory asked if I liked the name Perpetua. I loved it. (Named after Sts.

Dominic wanted Teddy to be named Patrick, but back then it was too American for me. Also, he wanted Alex to be named Ioan, after his great uncle, soon to be beatified (we hope) Bishop Ioan Suciu. I totally would have used the name as a first name IF we lived in Romania but from my experience, I know how hard it is to live with a very ethnic name that you have to spell and explain to everyone. It just gets tiring. We did end up using Patrick and Ioan as their middle names, which was a good compromise.<BR/>The name Cecilia, however, we decided on way before we got married. We always knew that our first daughter would be named Cecilia. We were even calling poor Teddy, Cecilia for the first 5 month of his life in utero, since we were convinced he was a girl.Irina S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16021850148183995000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11357354.post-12937770132073203402008-04-13T14:41:00.000-07:002008-04-13T14:41:00.000-07:00We haven't had a super hard time agreeing on names...We haven't had a super hard time agreeing on names. They seem to just hit us both as the right thing. Julia Roberts steals our baby names though.

That made it easier. Kateri we decided on in the last few weeks. We didn't have such a hard time agreeing on a name as coming up ones either of us liked in the first place. Girl names I find harder to find. We don't keep names a secret but usually everyone else's tastes are different so there's no name stealing, that I know of and we don't care what anyone else thinks. Currently we only have a girls name left on our list so hopefully the next on is a girl. But I'm always on the look out for new ones.Briana nanimom@outlook.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09751362405199919252noreply@blogger.com
