cute cute

today i heard the name ila (it's French and means "from the island") and i don't think i have ever heard a more lovely girls name. i will have to save that one in the "perhaps someday" file. ah, ila. love it.

Do you have any other boy names in the "perhaps someday" file for Andrew and I to review? We are stuck. Our child is nameless and it makes me sad. As for Ila... I can see her now. She'll be a beauty, that's for sure.

i love finding a name that you instantly fall in love with. the question is whether or not thomas likes it. jesse and i are both very opinionated in this area.
man, i swear my "perhaps someday" file fills up about three times a day. unfortunately, the likelihood of using ONE name right now is pretty small, let alone using all nine thousand...

ali: oh man, when it comes to boy names i have NO IDEA! luckily thomas came up with ambrose- but if we have another boy someday i just dont know... so sorry.

mel- i thought of that too and made me love the name even more! how sweet. ila-v u martha.

boo- thomas enjoys it as well, but i know what you mean. all the delightful names that will never be because a) only i like them and b) some days we vow to never have children again!!! haha- jk- sort of. :)

why you gotta be tossing around such beautiful/exotic/sophisticated girl names when i have an unborn one in my stomach? its really one of those perfect names. my question is, are you going to start working on the future recipient of the name any time soon?

I have a nice long list of baby names too, but not quite as long as Becca's list. We like unusual names. If we ever have a little girl, we like the name Zierra. Jeff came up with that one and I love it! Other possible girl names include Raizelle, Elodie, & Aria.

As for boys, we debate back and forth between having a Jeff III and one of our other names like Edmund Jonathan, Attis Xavier, or Brighton. I like the name Weston, but it doesn't really go with our last name so that one us up for grabs if anyone wants it. I always love adding new names to our lists.

If we ever have twin boys we are going to name them bill and bilbo, and we will love them very much.

Stephanie was very worried that you all would "not get" my last comment, and she wouldn't let me eat lunch until I explained it. Go to this link to learn more.

i love me some thomas humor.

ana- no, not starting on the next one yet- but always dreaming and scheming. :) ila is my top favorite name and bianca is next. by the time it happens though- who knows. brunhilda has a ring to it...

i love it. ila is so pretty. she would be guaranteed to have beautiful skin tone and nice flowing brown hair with a name like that.
