Baby Names

In the past, names had come pretty easily for us, and once we decide, we don't really switch around that much. This time was a little different...it's taken a little more discussion. Matthew came up with a baby girl's name really quickly that we both love - Daphne. For a boy's name, we were tossing around Aidan Patrick for a while, but then we both agreed that we loved Daphne a lot more than we liked Aidan. So it was back to the drawing board for a boy name. Matthew has LOVED Maximus forever, and I have always been hesitant, as it kind of sounds a little arrogant and very full of ego. But, secretly, I have always liked Max. So on our way to Tahoe, I gave in to Maximus, with the full contigency that he will be called Max. Matthew agreed, although he claims he will most likely call him the full Maximus.

So, there you have it. At 25 weeks, we think we will either have a Daphne Kate, or a Maximus Luke. I waffle back and forth by the hour on whether I feel like it's a boy or a girl. Most often, I feel like it's a boy, though. We like both names so much, we may just have to try for the one we don't get this time!!!

Wyatt, of course, still wants a boy; Annabelle, now, has found her own opinion and wants a girl. Both kids enjoy talking about the baby. When we are in public restrooms that have the fold-down changing table, Annabelle talks about how we will put Daphne on it to change her poopy diaper!
