The Name

The most common question we've been asked the last few weeks is "What gender is the baby?" And until just recently we had no clue. Now that we know, the question on everyone's mind is "What's her name?"

That has certainly been our mind for a very long time, even before starting a family, we agreed that the name was a very important part of who she will become. Names have meanings and we believe this will be a major part of her character growing up. Hence, any name we consider, goes through a 'background check.'

We had chosen and narrowed down both the boy names and girl names before finding out the gender. Now, our focus is on the girl. However, we are still working on a boy name in the event, at delivery, I happened to have a boy :) I guess you can say, it is in our nature to always have a back up plan.

As for the girl names we have gone through many and only 2 remain on our list.
1. Madison - meaning "son of the mighty warrior" Its origin is Old English and is commonly use for boys and girls.
2. Aurora - meaning "Dawn". Latin in origin and used by 19th-century poets. Also used in some versions of the fairy tale "Sleeping Beauty" with Princess Aurora.

We are also working on middle names that have important meanings and compliment the first name. We have found that the middle name is harder to decide on than the first. But we will get there, after all we have a deadline we can't delay!
