Name Schmame!

http://www.babynames.com/Names/rename.php
Look at this website and see if you could live with the name that they give you! Mine could be Karsen Branxton Melban.

What does your name mean? Has someone ever asked you that? I really ponder the meaning and all aspects of naming my children and it is really hard for me to do actually. If you have known me then you know that Gracelyn's name was changed in the hospital because I just didn't like it after she was born. Cannon's name was pretty much set but I didn't want to officially say so because what if I pulled the same stunt as before. I talked about his name being Cannon David and told people we were 90% sure but I just wouldn't commit to it. With baby number three I am still under the same understanding with my family and friends. Some people assume that because we know it is a boy we also know his name. WE DON'T. We have some great possibilities and know that the middle name will probably be Baker (my maiden name) but other than that we aren't sure. I love it when people name their babies before hand and know without a doubt that Kayzlee, Bella, Maggie, Marlee, Jack, Justin etc. will actually be the right name. I am just not that confident in myself. So until then I am scouring every name website and looking through every name book I can get my hands on to find the perfect name for this baby. I sure don't want him to think that in 30 years he would love to change his name and find a new one.

I can't imagine Gracelyn Mae being anything other than that! But if I wouldn't have changed my mind she would have been Kennedy Elizabeth forever.

Hey Keri,

I just found this on my friend's blog - it's a website that will tell you how many other people in the country have the same name as you. It may help you in your name search.

How Many of Me.com

Enjoy!
