Third Time's A Charm

We sent a card on Labor day to announce Baby #3 to the Family.
Due End of April

I am going to the same wonderful doctor Steven Lepetich.

Words from the mouth of Children.

We asked Gavin if we are having a boy or Girl. Gavin says we are having a girl then we asked what name he wanted the baby's name to be. He says - "Lexie" I try to suggest other names that we like and he is bound and determined to have the name be Lexie. He will get mad when you don't say that will be the name.

Kaleb age 2- He says that we have a baby boy in my belly.

Names

I have thought about doing geographical name for this last baby. With the help of the Diana and Don Parker we have lots of suggestions.

  • Brittney: Former Provence of France
  • Brooklyn: Borough of New York: Brook or Stream
  • Chelsea: A city in England: Port of Ships
  • Lydia: Ancient kingdom in W Asia: Noble kind; of the noble sort
  • Madison: City in Wisconsin
  • Paris: A city in France; Lover
  • Sydney: City in Australia
  • Catalina: Island off the SW Coast of California; Pure
  • Dixie: Southern States of the USA
  • Havana: Seaport and capital of Cuba; Haven
  • Kenya: Country in Africa; Artist
  • Lorraine: A city in France
  • London: England
  • Persia: Ancient empire W and SW Asia
  • Savannah: City in Georgia
  • Vienna: Capital of Austria
  • Virginia: State in the USA; Chaste, Virginal, Pure
  • Sierra: City in California

Chris favorite name is Brooklyn and Madison. My favorite name is Paris (I know nobody likes that name, but oh well). I also like Madison.

If we have a third boy we will name him Logan. Chris picked, I told him if he gets to pick the boy name then I get to pick the girl. He said I got to pick Brody's name so he gets a say this time.

Other names that we like that are other than geographical.

  • Sophie: Wisdom
  • Lily: A flower
  • Zoe: Life
  • Alexis would call her Lexie: Because Gavin loves it so much.

Make any suggestions to what you like and don't like. I love to hear them or if you love a name give us suggestions. But if you don't like it and I name it anyway don't take offence not everyone has the same opinions.

Yay, CONGRATS Helena!!! So exciting, just tell Gavin he needs to pray for a sister, how can Heavenly Father not answer that cute boys prayers?! Lol. Can't wait to meet the little one. So happy for you!

Congrats again guys! So I wonder who will be right, Gavin or Kaleb??? Hopefully Gavin cause I really like the name Lexie. It's cute. Baby names are a dangerous subject for me cause I love talking about it!!! For the place names, it's a good idea if the place means something to you (like Logan). Otherwise baby is gonna grow up asking you why you picked their name after Paris if you've never been there, etc. But regardless, I still love the name Lydia. Madison is cute, but it's been in the top 5 names for many years now. Kinda over done. Anyways, just ignore my opinions if you wish and choose whatever makes you guys happy! good luck!! And p.s. I'll be happy boy or girl and whatever name!

Lol well I sure hope its a girl because Logan Is my next in line name. . . I really like brooklyn and madison. Please please please whatever you do don't name your baby Brittney! Every single one of them that I have ever know have been brats big time! haha

Travis said...

Logan is cute but I guess that means you can't move back. LOL Don't listen to Shandi about her naming her next one Logan... when is this next one? I like Sydney or Madison for a girl.

My fav's from your list are London and Madison (a little over used), but I agree that it is kinda funny to name a place when you havn't been there. So I was trying to think of Names from Hawaii since you are going there and I came up with Maili (Maylee) and Malae They are places in Oahu.Of course I don't know how they are pronounced. Then I thought of Malia (Hawian form of Mary) the name of my beautiful YW leader. So there is my run on thoughts. I also Love Alexis/Lexie. x is always cool. I just can't wait to hold her and I'm sure she will be beautiful and that will make her name beautiful too. xoxo

Congrats! I like Paris and Dixie. :)

Amy said...

Samantha votes Brittney or Lily and she thinks it's a girl, Keagan votes Brittney or Alexis and he said he knows it's a girl because he knows what baby it is.?? Kyler says he thinks it's a girl and you should name her Alisa?, Cloie's vote is Savannah. Just so you know :)

Jen Johnson said...

Wahoo! It looks like it all works out--I like the name Lily and some of those on the list. :) It would be fun for you to have a girl, but no matter in the end!!! Talk soon, Jen

Jenny said...

Wow! Congratulations. Here's hoping for a girl!

The Burst Family said...

Congratulations!!! This is such exciting news!

Lots of comments this time! I don't love paris but I don't hate paris! I agree with Travis about logan. I LOVE the name Taylee/Tailey, I am sure lots of different ways to spell it. I doubt we will use it because of our niece Hailee. I like your friends hawaiian names they are cute. But all in all sounds like the name will be lexie, that is if its a girl! ha ha ha can't say no to a cute face like gavin! I think it is a girl hopefully my feeling is right! Anyways I AM SO EXCITED FOR YOU!!! CONGRATS!

Andrea said...

Congrats! I say, if you like the name Paris, go for it. If people are turned off by the celebrity, well, she will be old and done by the time your little gal is grown. We don't hear much about her these days anyway.

Tianne said...
