Default Baby names and NO idea

LOl but really, I feel like if I have nothing else ready that's fine but
it's too bad not to have a name. This means I will surely go into labor
early and will not be prepared.


I know the feeling. I have a girl name and we're all pretty sure it will
be a girl. (Sara Katrin) but all of a sudden the baby doesn't "feel" like
a Sara anymore, plus I just found out Sara/Sarah is number 7 in the most
popular names list this year. YAY. So now I'm trying to find another girl
name with an S. And there aren't any! I like Salome but Sam already vetoed
it and I kind of don't see me yelling "Salomeeeeeeeeeeeee" on the
playground, Stefanie, Sonja, Susanne, Sabine all make me shudder because I
know at least one of each who was a stupid cow. I like Sandra, but that's
my cousins name. And really there aren't that many more that are
pronouncable in german as well as in english/french. I like biblical names
even though I don't "do" god/religion, simply because they're usually
pronouncable in any language. I like Abigail, but in german... No go.
Besides, doesn't start with an S. I like Ruth, but Sam doesn't. He wants a
Sara Anna but Anna's my mothers name so I vetoed that *lol*.
I hate picking out names. For Sam it took nearly the whole pregnancy and
even then I wasn't sure, but I looked at him and he was a Samuel
Christoph, so that was alright.
I have no boy name. It better be a girl.

What about Suzannah?
#2 is Anna Sarah (#1 might have been Sarah but we knew too many to want to
use it for #2)
I like Abigail, but I really dislike Abi as an abbreviation, and neighter of
us is keen on Gail.
Other biblical names I can think of offhand:
Rachel
Rebecca
Hannah
Mary/Maria
Tabitha
Eve
Deborah
Esther
Marianne
Martha
Miriam
Joaana/Joanne

HTH
Debbie



All that said, I will go with Sara Katrin if I don't have some kind of
epiphany or a name comes to me in my sleep.

I also haven't done a thing concerning baby furniture. I have 3 plastic
boxes of clothes (one for newborn, and the other two for the larger
sizes), they're stackable and I used a system like that for Sam. No
searching for clothes that fit, just put the too small ones away and grab
something from another bin.
I'll have to figure out where to put the changing-thing which is currently
in Sams room being used as his dresser, but he agreed that the baby can
have it, so that's ok. It's not like she'll need the drawers anyway. Then
I'll have to work out where to put my large desk which is currently in my
bedroom "holding" most of my sewing stuff. There'a really no other place
for it though. UGH. I hate having to move furniture around!

Well, another 2.5 months, that's plenty of time, right? Right?
