Brooke and I have been going over family names, trying to find something that we like and flows together well. Evalyn has heard us a few times and we've included her a little into the conversation, sometimes serious, sometimes humorous on our part. Here are three snippets from talks just from tonight...
Brooke- "Evalyn, can you think of any names that you like that would be good for the baby?"
Me- "Yeah, like Nutella?" (She had Nutella for a snack today for the first time and had just said that she likes the name)
Evalyn- "Two things would have the same name, THAT'S strange." (Coming from the same kiddo that just two months ago, thought we should name the baby "Tater-Tater.")
A few minutes later...
Me-"What about Chrysanthemum?" (We all like the Kevin Henkes' book)
Evalyn- *indignantly "No one in the world is name Chrysanthemum!"
Brooke- "So what is a name you do like?"
Evalyn- "Evalyn."
Wait...that would mean two things with the same name, right?
Earlier in the evening in the middle of a name brainstorm...
Me- "What about Mort or Morty?"
Brooke- "Only if I give birth to an 80 year old man."
2 hours later
Me- "How about Gertrude?"
Brooke- "I like Gertie."
Me- "Ohhhh...so an 80 year old woman is ok."
Wish us luck.
