The Lesser of Two Evils

Coming up with a name for the baby has been a hot and dangerous topic between me and Joe. We each have a different name in mind, and neither of us are willing to budge. To say we've been at a standstill would be generous. Today, however, Joe looked at me during church, smiled, and handed me this note: "You can choose the name of our firstborn baby boy if I can choose the name of our firstborn girl. And don't think I won't name her Renesmee." (As in from Twilight.)

Sigh...so now I'm forced to choose between swallowing my pride (and the superior name) or praying for only sons.

Ohhhhhhhhhh Ande, this is so very funny. (and the superior name)made me laugh.

Can't wait to see what this baby's name is!

I'm on Team Ande!

I'm dying to know what the names are! Josh and I could never agree on a girl's name, so it's mighty good we had a boy.

oh dear Ande. That is certainly a gamble. But Renesmee isn't so bad. It could be worse- trust me. If it wasn't for HIPPA laws I would share some of the names that come across my desk that I just have to shake my head at. Seriously, I think that some children should be allowed a free name change when they turn 18. =)
