What's in a name?


Well, at 27 weeks, Mr. Matzo Ball is a 14.5 inch, 2 pound wiggling cauliflower!  I have officially gained more weight this time around in 6 month than I did in the whole pregnancy with Riley - which can either be attributed to the fact that my body knows what to do this time around, or the fact that Halloween candy makes up a large part of my daily calorie intake...

When Riley was cooking, we had a boys name ready and waiting and had to figure out a "what-if" girls name.  This time, things should be easier knowing that we just have to pick one name, but I am having much more trouble this round.  I have looked at thousands of names and we have an ongoing list that is a continual work in progress, but I can't seem to even come close to anything that I love.  Chris keeps throwing out names that I like, but I just don't like them for our baby.

I was reading a list the other day and Matzo Ball thought he was helping by kicking when he liked a name... too bad he picked Harley and Ishmael.  Sorry kid - veto x 2!

I am not asking for recommendations, so please don't be offended if we don't take suggestions, but I am glad at this point that we still have some time to think about it and make a decision that we will be happy with.

What was the baby name Schmidt suggested on New Girl years ago? Was it Mordechai? I like it. :)

I know, I know! How about keeping with the Irish theme and name Riley's new brother Seamus...another good Irish name!
