What's in a name?

Leslie + Will talked about the names they wanted to use for their kids when they started dating 10 years ago and they have kept the same names the whole time.  Some people pick out a name when they are kids and use those names 20 years later.  Since Jason and I started dating, we have talked about what we wanted to name our children.  It has changed 9 GABILLION times!!!  I'm not even going to begin to list some of the options because they are ridiculous!!  It doesn't help that we are both teachers and have massive name aversion from all of our combined years.  So we'll come up with something and love it and then remember that awful kid we had with that name and nix it.  Or we'll talk about it with people and they'll give us a reason to hate it.

So in order to keep from driving ourselves (and every one else) crazy we have decided to keep the name on lock down until the day we find out.  That way we can let everyone know by saying that we are having Orangejello Lemonjello Smith or Sacajewea Smith to announce the sex and the name we've picked.  Stay tuned!
