Pickin' a name

I don't know about all of you, but it can be hard picking out the perfect name for your little ones. 

When we were pregnant with poundcake we were convinced that she was a boy. We didn't think we would ever have a little girl. So much to our surprise and excitement we found out it was a girl. Oh bliss! I had said throughout the pregnancy that on the off chance it was a girl I wanted to name her Ava and the Hubby was fine with that. However, I immediately changed my mind when we got the news. This lady in my belly was not an Ava. We then started to think of names. We liked Olivia alright, but it is such a popular name, plus it wasn't her. Then came paisley and sailor. Names I still adore, but once again it just wasn't her. Then one afternoon while sitting at my moms kitchen table looking at her pothos her name came to me. On the drive home I asked the Hubby what he thought and he loved it too. We already had the middle name picked out, it is the same as mine, and I love love love her name. We picked out the name Maya just incase she came out not looking like the name we had picked, but luckily she did and it fits her well. 

With this little guy we had no names. Well the Hubby liked buster, for reals and I am not a fan. Boy names are hard for us. There doesn't seem to be as many options as you have with girl names. I kind of liked mason, but that faded fast. Then when it was confirmed a boy, we started brainstorming. We agreed on liking diesel, dawson, crosby and rocco. We decided on rocco. Then last night it happened again, while snuggling my baby girl and cruising around the Internet I came across a name that the Hubby had mentioned weeks ago. I was smitten. He suddenly fit that name. We once again had a middle name picked out, Dale after the hubby's grandfather. I then realized that the Hubby and little man would have the same initials. Pretty cool eh? So I mentioned all this to the Hubby when he came home from work a little nervous he would like Rocco better, but he thought it fit better too. 

Yay the baby has a name. I am so excited! And we have four good backups if that name is just not him when he comes out. 

See you soon little dude.
