What's in a name?

I'm looking at this week's poll and I have to say I'm rather surprised. Jason and I are having a bugger of a time picking a girl's name. We have a back-up boy's name just in case the ultra-sound tech was wrong but like we did with Lily, we just can't agree on a girl's name. We like Emily, Gabriella and Kaitlyn the most out of the list of 30 girl's names I came up with, but I didn't expect Emily to be the front runner.

We like Emily cause it's very girly and sweet. There's no real way to have a short form of Emily which is what holds me back on that name, but Jason really likes it. Madeleine was my grandma's name. I wanted Madeleine as a first name but Jason doesn't like Maddy for short.

I love Gabriella cause we can call her Gabby (How cute is Gabby Goetz?) or Ella for short, but Jason's not too sure about it. And Lynne is mine and my mom's middle name.

We both like Kaitlyn cause we love Katie and Kate but we wonder if it's too popular, not to mention my friend Kelly had a little girl the same time I had Lily and that's her name, not that we're together all the time or anything but it seems weird that we would have kids with the same name. Grace came from the fact that I love that name but Jason didn't like it as a first name.

So that's how we came up with those names. We plan to take the three names into the delivery room with us and when we see her for the first time see which name suits her best, with the results of this poll in mind.

I voted for the Madeline as I think it is awesome that it is to honor such a wonderful lady like your gramma.
