What's in a name?

Precious Little One, your daddy and I have started working on choosing a name for you. It's a hard decision! We want it to be perfect and special - just like you. We've got it narrowed down to two, but we're just not sure. I'm sure we'll decide soon enough.

In the mean time, your big brother, Caleb, has come up with several suggestions. The first conversation we had about it, he came up with Ancha. Hmm. I don't think so. Next, he suggested Shuffle, but only if your last name was Ta Tuff. Shuffle Ta Tuff. I don't know if I'm wild about that one either.

The other night, while we were making dinner, he came up with a few others. He was SO excited when he suggested Lookinsteinish. (?) I'm not quite sure what he was thinking with that one. I don't think he knew either, because he quickly changed his mind - "I mean Luke!"

"I mean Luke Skywalker!"

Your daddy got to choose his little sister's middle name and he chose Alice, because his favorite story at the time was Alice in Wonderland. Alice isn't a bad choice for a name. Caleb's all-time favorite is Star Wars, though, so I don't think we'll let him pick or we may end up with a son named C3PO! Ancha, Shuffle Ta Tuff, Luke Skywalker... They're definitely special names, but I think your daddy and I will reserve the right to choose something wonderful just for you!

PS - Caleb also thought it'd be fun if, for Christmas, we called you Snowflake!

  1. Well, you wouldn't have to worry about Lukensteinish becoming so popular that 8 boys in his classroom are called by the same name. That's always a plus, right? I kinda like the sound of it. With a name like Shuffle Ta Tuff, though, you might have to watch your back on the play ground. I can't wait to hear what you guys decide...and I'll definitely be asking Caleb for his advice if we ever decide to have another baby.
