Baby Names

Names are tough. We know it's a girl so that helps, but picking a name is tough. We had some fun at a website called the Baby Name Genie. At this site you can see what names are trending. Kimberly liked Sophie or Sophia, but it looks like it is smoking hot right up there with Ava and Isabella. One thing the books suggest is to first make a list of all the family names to consider: Marguerite, Mildred, Dot, Alma, Evelyn, Kay, Connie, Charlyn, Amy, Marie, Rene, Reta, Lenda, Kathy, Ann, Katie, Sarah, Kimberly, Shari, Lindsey, and Macy.

With the Baby Name Genie you can put in a name and it will give you a suggested middle name that should sound nice. You can even ask for fifty if you want. Next, check out to make sure the initials don't spell something the child will hold against you like Penelope Isabella Gibbons, Grace Alma Gibbons, or Olivia Marie Gibbons.

Finally, the Baby name Genie even lets you try the name out with a lifetime of situational sentences where you are blasted into the future when their name will be spoken:
" If Phoebe would consistently turn her homework in--on time--she would be one of my star pupils".

We haven't decided on a name yet, but we're test driving a few around the house. We'll keep you posted.
