baby names

I don't care who you are, every girl loves thinking of names for their unborn child.  I have been making lists since I was 10 years old.   It is a daunting task, giving someone a name, an identity for the rest of their life.  I never wanted my babies name to be really common (whoops Jackson, ranked #17 ) or too different (whoops Nash, ranked #575).  I read this article, American Baby Names Are Somehow Getting Even Worse, and thought it was spot on true and funny.  I prefer sticking with family names to make it easier on myself.  I also like to pretend I don't know what the name will be until right before the baby is born because I really don't want to hear your opinion or that you are naming your kid that or that is your dogs name or the perverts name that lives down the street.
Anyways the reason I have baby names on the brain is because my sister is pregnant! And her due date is December 28th.  Happy Birthday Aunt Rebekah!  I wonder if she likes to use family names too? Just saying.

We were named after our grandmothers?!? How embarrassing.
