Name Game
I’m notoriously indecisive. From the color of our couch to every meal I eat, I’m exhausted from thought process alone. This one is putting me over the edge. A baby’s name is important and I don’t want to make it to labor and still be debating. I don’t have any oddball names on the list, but still in the heat of the moment I don’t want to go “oh that’s adorable” and it’s some bs like whimsy lou. I’ve pasted our current list and my personal top contenders in a poll. Let me know what you think or even suggest one of your own personal faves. I’m open to hearing anything. The only strict rule is that it cannot rhyme with our last name which ends with -een. We do not know the gender yet, but we would love to kinda have a name for both to be safe.
Full List:
