It is hard to pick out a name for someone, especially if you do not know them. For my husband it is easy ..... just use my name it is perfect...........OK whatever. Well my name is neither perfect nor do I want to share it (i am selfish like that). So the search goes on for a Girl name. So what are the parameters to a name. These are mine I do not want a name that everyone has or that everyone in my generation is naming their kid! Nor do I want a crazy ass name that people are like what I thought you named a gerbil that.
So how far does one go in deciding a name for a human being that you have not met yet? Are Winnoc, Verona, Vibian, Thea, Syrus, Sola, or Serafina crazy (these are just some of the many I am contemplating I did not feel like typing them all out and by the way i have not run them by Billy yet either so I am sure a lot of them will be nixed)?
I guess I will find out when my kid comes home from kindergarten saying Tommy (by the way not Thomas because people name their kids nick names down here) said "his mommy told him that my name was weird because we are the Yankees from the north."
By the way I guess the names I picked out are unusual because spell check thought they were all spelled wrong and they are spelled right i promise I got them straight off the saints website.

Ok, I forgot I am doing 2 weeks of grateful...so I am grateful for this post. Interesting, fun, and kind.
I feel your pain, I would not want the responsibility to name a person. BUT since I don't have the responsibility, I will overload you with opinions: I like Sacer and Agnes
Before you comment people! These are actual saints that have feast days around the due date. Take that! I have Jesus on my side for this, so no wise cracks.
Bernie, I like Sarafina. I think it's pretty. I won't share with you my fav girl name bc I obviously don't want you to take it, but what about Elle (maybe that's too trendy) and what happened to Elliot? I like that too. To be honest, I think it's a huge deal naming a baby, but really when you see your baby, even if it has a name like Harry, you will love her/him so much the name won't matter.
Yes, Elliot si still #1 for me. Someone suggested that you name her Elliot May. Then you can call her Elly May or Elloit Josephine and then she can be Elly Jo. Since you live in the South, it may be a law.
