Baby Names

While we were at soccer on Saturday (which by the way... we got rained on for the majority of it) one of the parents was calling out her daughter's name. The name was Katelyn (maybe possibly quite probably spelled differently) and Jay looked at me and said... 'I like that name, maybe we could use it for one of our next kids.' I looked at him and was like, glad you liked that name, but sorry hun its already taken. He was like, by who? I was like, duh Shaun and Amanda's little girl. He was like, oh yeah, darn! So, I don't know if there is some sort of unwritten rule that people aren't supposed to use names twice in a family etc etc, and even if there was, I'm not a natural follower of rules like that. Anyways, although I do like the name Katelyn (Caitlyn for Amanda's little girl), I personally would prefer to pick something different.

But that really surprised me that Jay would bring something up like that. Of course we have talked about having more kids, but naturally both say that it is not the right time. Okay, so it is more me saying that it is not the right time. I KNOW that Jay wants more kids ASAP... weird, right? Thinking it would be me more so than him, but in any case, he does bad! And what do I think? I think it's GREAT! I don't know about other men, husbands, etc... but in my general opinion, isn't it usually the women who are ready first? In any case... he is an amazing father.

So back to the names... after we established that there was already a Katelyn, I told him the names that I liked in the event we had more children together. I really liked the names that I had picked out, however he didn't! I didn't like any of them. Well really I only had three (2 girl names and 1 boy name) and he told me some that I didn't like either. I was all for pushing my names, but he didn't think so hot of that, lol!

Well, this was on Saturday and during the past few days he has sort of been throwing around some more names. Like seriously, he is all for this and I'm loving that he has an opinion on it one way or another. When it came to picking Ayden's name... I sort of did that on my own and he said he liked it. And then of course he got to pick the middle name. Then yesterday while we were in the checkout lane at Walmart he saw a name he liked and suggested it to me and surprisingly enough... I liked it too. Now the reason behind why he likes it is such a GUY reason, but nonetheless, we agree on a name and then last night he offered up a boys name and I liked that as well and I offered up another boys name and he liked it.

If the time comes that we are blessed to have another child/ren we might pull those names out of reserve or we might go delve into the baby name book... either way I'm excited that he's excited about the possiblity of our future! For now... I'll just keep those names in my/our heads and dream about their possibilties. Baby naming... so fun!

CIAO! LOVE ME!
