(Ha! Gotchya! No, I am not pregnant!)
I am weird. I know what you’re thinking, that has been well established. Let me explain. Often, when I have nothing better to do, I sit around and think about what I would name any more babies that I would have. If I were to have any, that is, which I am not. I also think about what my children should name my grandchildren in the very distant future when the little angels are born. So, here’s what I have come up with:
Jami–the first two letters of mine and Jason’s names
Cami–the first two letters of my Mom’s and Dad’s names
Larry or Laury–combinations of my MIL’s and FIL’s names
Michael–after me and my Dad*
Brooks–After Garth, of course
Finn–I love this name and not just because of my two cyber sibs, either.
Elliot–I love this name also. I have never known anyone with this name.
(Mom–can’t have one named after you because that was Jason’s ex girlfriend’s name. That would be weird.)
I have names for babies that have been in my head or my heart. I had a miscarriage in between Ashley and Emily and, to me, that baby has always been named Joshua. I don’t particularly like the name Joshua and I don’t think that we would ever have named him that, but for some reason, that’s what his name was. I don’t even know if it was a boy except for in my mind it was.
I have had recurrent dreams where I have another baby. This time it is a girl and her name is always Maria. I don’t know why. It just is. There is never any clear plot to the dreams, just that I have a new baby and her name is Maria. She has dark brown hair.
Maybe I should just let Isabelle name any babies that are born into this family. I mean, you can’t really beat names like Galaserd, Gally, Bome or Yokas, can you?
I always feel like there is one missing, that there should have been one more after Kelly, and she’d be a girl, and she would be Helen. I think it would be worth it to have a baby at 45, just to name it Galaserd, though. Best. Name. Ever.
Listen, you didn’t name the dog Fab, so you are damn well going to name the next grandchild Fab. Case closed.
And Mom will back me up on this.
Maria is a great name for a girl. Not too popular, not too unique, just right.
It took me months to decide on names for the twins – Gareth and Gerald. With just two months to go, I am constantly thinking about new names..~L~ and constantly thinking about changing my mind. My 12 year old has informed me that they need cool names but this coming from the kid that once named a hamster DOG, I really don’t think he is going to come up with anything I like.
