We still have not decided on a name.
Davis has been throwing names in the hat for months. Here they are in a list, complete with her very solid and sure arguments for her choices.
Davis.
Mama: Really, Davis? TWO Davises?
Davis: Yes, TWO. Then you can just say "Daaaaaaaaaaavis" and we will both come running."
hmmmmm. Efficient. I like that.
Orla.
Davis' BFF had a baby sister in July. Her name is Orla.
Mama: TWO Orlas? Even if it's a brother? Orla?
Davis: Yes, then M will have an Orla and I will have an Orla. And it will be fair."
Laughter. But we eventually have to be very direct that there would not be TWO Orlas. She does not believe us.
Spencer. Nicholas. Jada.
Little brother of another friend. Children of two other babysitters in our neighborhood. Same reasoning as above.
In the car coming back from seeing Lion King with Mama, Auntie K, Mimi and fav cousin M, she says randomly "What about Luca for a name?"
Mama: I LIKE that.
Davis in disbelief/shock: You DO!?!
Other names in the mix:
Shu Shu, Tootsie, La La,
and my all time fav, Miss LaRose.

I remember the "you DO??" Davis'ism! She is going to have her own stories to tell one day about how she got a baby brother and how SHE got to choose his name :D I can't wait to read the book! btw,,,I totally agree that while Tootsie is cute, it's probably not THE one LOL xoxoxo
ReplyDeleteWe landed on "pancake" for the name of our baby in waiting. Our 4 year old came up with it and it stuck!
