Show us Your Life

So on Kelly's Korner Blog every week she does a Show Us Your Life McLinky party. This week she is doing baby names. Baby names are something everyone thinks of eventually. Whether you are trying for a baby now or in the future. you may hear a name and think oh my, they named their child Cadillac? I would never name my child after a car! For me, I love baby names. When we were choosing names for Wyatt, we had such a list going. Granted, most of the names on that list were girl names. For boys we had 2 names. Connor and Wyatt.

T LOVED the name Connor. But I just couldn't get the image of Lacy Peterson and that sad little empty bedroom out of my mind. So we choose Wyatt. Now because I "picked" the first name, T thought he should get to pick the middle name. Fair enough. However, I didn't expect him to pick Dennis. I have never been a fan of Wyatt's middle name, BUT the meaning behind it is what really matters.

Dennis was T's favorite cousin. Back in 2005, Dennis died of a heart attack. He was only in his 40s. Dennis also had a sister who died from a diabetic coma when she was only in her 20s. So we thought by naming Wyatt Dennis, we could honor Dennis' memory and show tribute to his aunt and uncle who had lost so much.

Girl names I am addicted to. I love love love the name Cecelia. Unless things change dramatically before we have a baby girl, her name will be Cecelia. T loves the name Kairi (Ky-ree). Its cute, but not my style. So if we have a baby girl # 2, this will be here name. Other names I like are Kailen (Kay-lynn), Isabel (but sadly it has become much too popular for my taste), Charlotte (if we ever had twins I would kinda sorda need to name them Cecelia and Charlotte), Amelia, Olivia (again too popular), Penelope (Penny), oh the list goes ON!

Boy names I have expanded my list since Wyatt. I like the name Oliver, Wesley, Beau, Noah, Warner, Hudson, and Tristan.

So any future children will most likely be:

Wesley Travis --Travis is husband's name and my great grandpa's last name
Oliver Bruce --Bruce is my favorite uncle's name
Cecelia Violet --Violet is my grandmother's name
Kairi Anne --Anne is part of my middle name, T's mother's middle name, and a version of my greatgrandma's middle name (Anna).

We plan on having 2 more children. Whether we are able to have them naturally, with a little help, or through adoption we don't know. But we do know our family will not be complete without 2 more children.
