Baby Names

Did you know that the baby is due in 1 month?  Only 1 more month!   I didn't realize it either, until the wifey came home from her appointment a few days ago and said the Doctor would induce her on a specific date if she hasn't gone into labor on her own.  So, let the baby name game begin!  Ha!  So, we (the wifey and I) have had a list of 4-5 baby names for our little girl for quite some time now.  We bounce around between each of them.  So here is the list, in no particular order of course: 

Monroe - We like this name a lot.  There is a cute girl in our ward with this name and the wifey is a Marilyn Monroe fan.  Negative thing is that Mariah Carey named one of her twins Monroe last fall and some people think it is a boy name. 

Lila - This one is my favorite.  It is kind-of old skool, yet classic.  I like Lila Kay Shields.  Don't you?  Or Lila Madelyn Shields. 

Sydney - Also another good one.  Just a good, fun girly name. It's simple and nice, I like it!

Madelyn - This one is also a good one.  I wouldn't mind calling my daughter Madelyn, or even Maddie/Maddy.  I guess we can figure out the spelling if we name her that. 

Julia - I like this one but I just think about Julia Gulia from the wedding singer.  I know I am terrible. 

I am terrible with names, because if I know someone that has the same name I will most likely dislike it.  Or if I know something about someone with that name, etc....etc.....  I really do like all of our name choices though.  We will figure it out soon enough.  Maybe we just need to see her, then we will know. 

We decided to have T say each of the names and see which one sounded the best coming from his mouth.  Watch this little video clip and you can decide for yourself which one we should choose:
