Baby Names

So Hunter has picked out names for our quadruplet boys: Leonardo, Donatello, Michelangelo, and Raphael . And, of course, they will be color coordinated appropriately. Turtles in a half shell- turtle power! I just hope that if we end up having a boy he doesn't like he won't try to name him Shredder.

Meanwhile, back in reality, Hunter doesn't know of any girl names that he likes yet so we are going to go get a couple of books this weekend. Also, any girl name I like has already been taken or isn't appropriate. My all time favorite girl name is Lorelai which my cousin totally stole about six years ago when her daughter was born. How dare she. OK, so maybe she didn't know I loved that name and maybe I was 18 or 19 at the time so she wouldn't have cared anyway but the main focus here is that my second cousin is named that so I totally can't use it. I also like Xavier for a boy. Three things on that one: it's not a boy, Hunter hates it, and Hunter's little brother Austin absolutely loves it and has claims on it anyway. That will be the cutest little nephew: Xavier West. So great! I'm actually really excited he wants to use it so badly since I can't use it. Ha ha. But I also like Isabella and as much as I appear to be Hispanic I don't want her friends to tease her for having obviously white parents and a Latina name. So there ya go on that one. And finally, I love the name Elizabeth. But one of my best friends is named Elizabeth so end of discussion.

Suggestions so far on names....

Mikey Wetzel (friend from college who ironically had never tried Life cereal until we bought him some..and Mikey likes it, by the way) suggested Mikey for a boy and Mikea for a girl. Yeah, we'll think about those...

Sairy Sanchez (hermana and friend from college) suggested Sairy Sanchez West. But I didn't want her sister who I am equal friends with to feel left out so I suggested back Sairy Sianneth Sanchez West. That would totally make sense on all levels.

Someone else, I forget who but I think they are on our business team, suggested not naming it until it's like five like people did way back in the day because most kids didn't survive then. So when you figured it was going to stick life out, they finally named it. Also a good idea.

That's it for now although I am pretty sure I feel things happening around the baby which has got to be the oddest sensation ever. Maybe I am farther along than we thought...
