i'm going crazy not being able to grasp onto anything with this pregnancy (aside from the fact that yes, we are definitely going to have a baby in november). no pink, no blue, no transformer toys or 'daddy's girl' clothes. you get the point. i feel like i can't fully prepare, but we all know that i'm not HUGE on preparation anyway. i guess where i'm getting is that i have felt like i just need something to grasp on to. something nailed down and solidified instead of saying, "nope, we don't know what we're having".
sooooo… we have finalized our names! (you thought i was gonna tell you the sex, didn't you?!) even though we don't know what it's going to be and still have absolutely no 'gut feeling' one way or the other, i now have something to tell people. names!
so, here they are: if it's a girl, her name will be Amelie Faith.
our inspiration?
Amelie is a French name and we were totally inspired by this movie:
If you haven't seen it, go rent it now… it's amazing! [it's in french, so be ready to read subtitles]
As far as where Faith comes from… our faith is the basis of our relationship and we have completely relied on God from day one… with our relationship, our jobs, school, finances, and especially this pregnancy and the fact that God has blessed us with a baby. so, how could we not name our little girl Faith? Plus, it's just a beautiful name!
And if it's a boy, his name will be Reece Anthony.
our inspiration?
If any of you know us at all, you know that we LUH-HUV reese's peanut butter cups! (we put them in our brownies, for pete's sake) Ok, so that wasn't the whole reason we like the name Reece, but we just really like the name (and we're spelling it with a 'c', not an 's'). After doing some research, i found out that it means 'enthusiasm'… and judging from the activity of this baby, i'd say it's pretty enthusiastic about something!! I think this retro commercial says it all:
I don't think you need an explanation for the name Anthony. Afterall, it's daddy's name and daddy is pretty amazing, so that wasn't a hard choice :)
So, there you have it! If you like the names, that's awesome! If not, too bad… it's a little late for suggestions now… I'm already attached! Hopefully you will take joy in having something to grasp onto as well.
I love your name choices!! Although, I must point out that the movie people used the dreaded Sand font for the title "Amelie" =P
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! We're having a heck of a time with names still, but we have a ways to go. Barry is STUCK on a girl's name that I'm not feeling and its so frustrating! Then with a boy's name we're all over the place. Hopefully once we know what sex it is, it'll be easier. :)
ReplyDeleteLove them! Good choices! :)
