"Tomorrow is our ultrasound and Ross has graciously indicated that he is fine with the fact that I still want to wait until birth before we know the gender of our child.
This is both scary and exciting. All the what-ifs: what if it’s a girl; what if it’s another boy?!; what if
And most importantly, what are we going to name this kid?
Baby name books scare me a bit because the quantity of names is too overwhelming to me. 10,000! Are you kidding me? Given too many choices, I can’t focus on anything. I knew for me, at least, we’d have to narrow our search down somehow and, being the traditionalist that I am, figured family names was still the easiest way to do so.
This was made even more obvious when Ross and I were joking around the other day with the baby name book and randomly picked a few out. Ross would flip through the paged until I said stop, and then he’s close his eyes, point to one and reveal the future name of BITB! We came up with Shy and Tevin. I don’t think we’ll use either one.
To narrow down the options, but still provide plenty of names for us to choose from and play around with, I attempted to broaden our scope by diving further and wider into our respective family trees. I’m happy to say there are some very cool names I wouldn’t have thought of otherwise that we can now add to the list of choices. There are also some very funky names that I am not even sure how to pronounce! I think we will both be satisfied with the name we choose for BITB just as much as we both were in naming

I've always thought "Rebecca" has a nice ring to it."
