Whats in a name?

Well, like most couples who are expecting a baby we have been thinking names lately. Which is turning out harder than I ever imagined. We have a list of names that we like. . .so whats the problem? Well. . . Does anyone know how hard it is to find a name that isnt used already or sound like one that is in your family? Especially when your family is large. My Mom has 9 siblings plus their spouses ,33 grandkids & 15 great grands (which my baby will be). . My dads family has 6 siblings plus spouses, 16 grandkids & 1 great grand. Now these are not counting the grandkids spouses that are married. That adds on another probably 20 or so. Then their is my husbands family. . . I dont know exactly how many there is but I would guess combining his moms side and dads side there is probably 50 or so people. So, NOW try to find a name that hasnt been used already or doesnt sound like someones name. Its tricky. .tricky, tricky!
Then of course there are those names that you like but then you meet a kid that has that name and all the sudden you decide that name is NOT for you. . Maybe cause the kid is a little monster? Lol. Now of course we all know the name has nothing to do with how the child acts but somehow you cant quite get past thinking of the kid when you say the name. We had a couple names like that, we likes them but then met a kid with that name and that was the end of that name. .
We also thought about trying to use the names of our deceased grandparents since I have a grandma and grandpa that are gone and he has a grandpa and grandma. We thought it would be a nice way to honor them and remember them. Well, Then we got to looking at the names.
My grandpas name was Amos Hirim and my grandmas name was Mary Lucille. His grandpas name was John Henry and his grandma's name was Ione. (pronounced I Own) Um no thanks. We could have used Lucille since we like the name Lucy but we didnt want to use just one grandparents name and not use the others later on. So scratch that idea. . . .

Despite all that we do actually have some names we like. Who knows if they are the names we will use or not, we may have a name all figured out then at the last minute change it. Lol. Thats how we roll!
