Hey, Psychic Sophie,
We're just about home study approved for our next adoption -- any boy or
girl vibes for us?

I only see you with girls for some reason.

That works for me...although dh would love a boy. Since we actually will
match with a birthmother, it sort of changes the issue a little bit -- but
it's not like we go into the Birthmother Super Mart and pick one out. So,
we'll wait to be contacted by a birthmother, and weigh out all the other
issues and risk factors, and the gender of her baby, if she even knows it,
is way at the bottom of that list.

But I'm smiling here, hoping for a girl!

Where did they come up with Maggie? My mom was impressed when Patrick came
up with Annabel, she laughed when I told her that's the name of a Thomas
train

Well, I can't be sure. There *is* a little girl named Maggie (Magdalena) in
our church nursery, but they very rarely have contact with her. I think the
real hint came from Parker's teacher when she asked me "What are you naming
your daughter?". When I told her I wasn't sure, she replied "Ohhh, well,
Parker told everyone she would be Maggie and the Ferocious Beast!". lol...so,
maybe Parker picked it up from that cartoon .
*By the way, I told her we already have a ferocious beast named Spencer!

We've got a girl first and middle name - that was easy. We now have a boy
first name. A meaningful middle name for a boy is proving tough. I don't
want to use an obvious family name, don't want to name the kids after
anyone, but I do want something with meaning that goes with the first name.

We had NO, NO, NO boys names that were even remotely in the running. We have
3-4 girls name on our short list. So, I guess it is a good thing that we are
having a girl .

I'm curious now too ... how 'bout it Sophie??
On of my RL friends can usually tell whether someone is having a boy or
girl, but she couldn't tell for herself or for me

Another girl.



Ohhh ... then I *will* have to be firm in saying a definite *no* to either
"Sheridan" or "Carmelle" ... sorry if you like them ...but ... *yuck*.
DH has, how shall I say ... ummm ... "interesting" taste in names.
(...besides the fact that the local Catholic high school is called 'Mount
Carmel' .... not that she'd go there but also not a great nickname


Thanks Sophie

I went to a school called Mount Carmel. The local boys had interesting
names for us, that's for sure. I'll have to hide Sheridan from my DH,
that's something he'd likely choose.

Yay! Any names?


We haven't gotten that far yet. My boys desperately want to name her

Maggie,

which I do love. Not sure yet though...a girls name is a whole new world

for

me!

Maybe the Simpson's, their baby is Maggie short for Margaret.

Well at least it wasn't Diesel...lol

What about your maiden name if it's suitable.

Maybe we should both circumvent our respective DH's and choose the names
between us I think we both have a Kate (IIRC) so we should be able to
agree on something
(Thank goodness DH just said that 'Sheridan" was just a suggestion and that
its not really one of his favs ... phew!)

Heh, I bet Sophie is with you, because I am and we have pretty much the same
taste in names (not always, but awfully close).

DH has, how shall I say ... ummm ... "interesting" taste in names.

We have a Mt. Carmel high school (public) in our county, but Mt. Carmel
(and, by extension, Carmelle) makes me think of David Koresh and Waco, Texas
shudder.

If your husband likes Carmelle, how about Carmen as an alternative. I really
like Carmen, but my husband isn't fond of it (but he wouldn't like Carmelle,
either!).

I do prefer Carmen to Carmelle ... but I'm still pushing for my fav names.
Thanks for the tip on Waco too - we live in Australia so don't know the
story all that well, but we *do* know about what happened there (Waco).

I'm thinking that we might try the process of elimination with the names ...
they are all on a piece of paper and we can just take turns circling our
favs and crossing off the ones we don't like until we get down to a few
possibilities that would be OK.
