The name game

Jon and I found out the name of our soon-to-be-born nephew this week, Chris and Brenda’s baby. Jon and I plan to share the gender of our baby with everyone but the name is something we want to keep for ourselves to announce after the baby is born.

Currently, we have 14 girl names and 12 boy names we like. We have no plan to narrow down the choices until much, much closer to my due date. I like the idea of picking out a few names, seeing the baby and deciding which name fits best.

Names Jon vetoed: Katherine, Kyan, Lola
Names Laura vetoed: Julian, Alex, Adam
Names we love but can’t use: Andrew, Ben, James, Ryan, Thomas, Matthew
Names we can’t use for obvious reasons (say them out loud): Justin, Grace, Casey

If I had been able to conceptualize of a good spreadsheet layout, I would have done it, too. :-)

As it was, I just kind of kept a running list for about 2 years. And next to each name, I put the most recent rank in popularity in parentheses. Ah, geekdom...
