If I had some patience I'd definitely wait til the baby was born to pick a name and find out the sex and all that. But I'm a control freak so we're finding out the sex of out baby in 3 weeks and then we'll start brainstorming names. I can't wait!Jenn H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15169165685711691945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3951528.post-45648472895810959852011-02-24T18:39:01.710-06:002011-02-24T18:39:01.710-06:00I know an Amelia!

And I only ever knew one Amy growing up....maybe you should have lived in Canada? :) I have to admit, I've always loved my name. My mother named me after a character in a book that she loved. Had I been a boy, I would have been "David". And I love the idea of not knowing the sex of the baby until it's born. Really, what other great, big mysteries are there left in this life? xoLisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08506580996142138707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3951528.post-10781677684983669982011-02-24T17:38:01.416-06:002011-02-24T17:38:01.416-06:00Claire was quite a popular name when I was growing...Claire was quite a popular name when I was growing up. There were 3 Claires in my class (Clare, Claire and Clair). I also now have 3 good friends all called Clair(e)!! My brother & sister are called Benjamin & Eleanor - known as Ben & Ellie and I was so jealous when I was younger, I longed to have a name that could be shortened. Can't really shorten Claire can you...may Rare or Clur??

There is only so many times you can hear the same one until you are sick of it.<br /><br />I changed my last name before I was married. I just didn't want the burden of such a loooong last name. Cost? $200. But really it was priceless. My father was pretty pissed though...oops.Christi @ Rumination Avenuehttp://www.ruminationavenue.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3951528.post-8560592019716572052011-02-24T15:23:54.139-06:002011-02-24T15:23:54.139-06:00I'm a Jessica, so I can commiserate. Although...I'm a Jessica, so I can commiserate. Although, there was usually another Jessica B. in my class, so for most of elementary school and junior high, I was called by my last name. Barker. It wasn't the most feminine or insult-free name, but I guess it was okay. In high school, I was in a physics class with 2 other Jessicas, and at some point during the year, the physics teacher rechristened us The Good Jessica, The Evil Jessica, and The Mediocre (although sometimes Middle or Medium) Jessica.<br /><br />I never really cared that I had a popular name...in fact, it may have been the only thing about me that was popular. I just always kind of did my own thing and didn't realize until much later that I was kind of weird. WHat always has bothered me about my name, though, is people calling me Jennifer. It happens ALL THE TIME! But, I usually just respond to it, because in the grand scheme of things, who cares. I'm still me.<br /><br />Also, one of the girls that does Common Birds is named Amelia, so perhaps you are closer to knowing an Amelia than you thought.Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10291947524350499129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3951528.post-50689361841016498112011-02-24T13:30:45.723-06:002011-02-24T13:30:45.723-06:00I was the only Chelsea I knew until junior high, a...I was the only Chelsea I knew until junior high, and even then there were only two of us. Chelsea seemed to pick up more popularity in the years after me. My little brother had a class with three! I remember not liking how it was spelled, when I was about five. My mother told me that some Chelsea's spell their names with a Y at the end. Chelsey. I didn't realize what she meant, so for about a week I spelt my name Chelseay. <br />But as for the waiting for baby thing, no friggin way. I have to know! Too much gender specific colored stuff to buy.chelseahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08071150903769944448noreply@blogger.com
