ITS A.............

I put a link on my blog for Baby Name Wizards for two reasons. First, the site Rocks. Even if you don't have a little one on the way, or if you do and have names picked out, you have to at least check this out. Secondly, since you are logging on to my blog you are privy to insider information! As you probably know we are expecting a new addition to the family. As you probably don't know, that addition is a little....................... Girl! Now comes the tricky part, we are stuck for girl names. If you could help us out here we would much appreciate it. We need your vote. Which name could you see completing this name __________ Christine Benson?
Clara
Addison
Quinn
Aja or Asia
Elaina (Gma Elaine inspired)
Annika or Anika
Sage or Saje
Alyse (A-leese) very similar to Paige Elisa
Orva (After Chad, his middle name is Orval)

Please list your vote, or suggestions in the comments option. Thank you!

It is actually Paige Elisa. As for a name I am going with Aja. I'm assuming this means we have another girl on our hands. I did go to the site and quickly came across Cora, thought it sounded like it would fit your list and go quite nicely with Christine. Have you considered Orval at all? Maybe not for a girl but it could be adapted, maybe Orva?

Sorry Chad Kristy and Paige, I changed the boo boo on the post to Elisa. Also I added Chad’s recommendation of Orva. Did you know his middle name is Orval? Don't make fun; it is my Grandpa's name and my Dad's middle name. In fact I think so much of it I refer to Chad like H. Ross Perot refers to himself... I call him C. Orval. You can too!

Still nobody is addressing this. Mitch told us they were NOT going to find out the gender of the baby and yet it seems as though it has just been announced. Are we the only ones that didn't know it was going to be a girl? Congratulations!

Thank you for pointing this out, yes it is true we WERE going to go through this pregnancy without finding out the gender. However, Jen just couldn't do it. We had the Ultrasound on Wed. she decided on Monday night that she wanted to find out the gender. My take on it is this, if she has to carry the child for 9 months, she can decide whether to find out the gender. Chad, No you are not the only ones who didn't know, we told everybody right here, just the same way you found out. Don't be mad about who is first and last to know, I figured if I posted it here on the blog, then we didn't have to choose who to call 1st, technically we told everybody at the exact same time. (Except Gma Deb D. who was at the ultrasound and aunt Jaime who was at gymnastics with Kya and I)

Sorry, I wasn't trying to comment on who knew when, simply that nobody seemed to recognize the fact that the gender was just outed. Heck it was even a part of the title "It's a...."

I was just thinking (uh oh, I know) considering the fact that you are such a strong idealist it is a little surprising that you guys would find out the gender ahead of time. Just a small dart tossed your way :)

nana votes... Quinn, although Orva has a ring to it.
Elaina-- 2nd choice
Alyse--tie for 2nd choice

Debra JaneAnn would satisfy both grandmas :)

Chad said...

A vote for Orva!!

Patricia Christine! I like Annika the best. Orva is a female drug. Debra Jane/Ann bites. (Sorry deb). Name doesn't matter when your kids are so darn cute!
