Trying to give you baby fever...

prasad007 · March 2010

We've had quite a few names come up that we like, and then abandon for different names. A few years ago we were set on Saffron (girl) and Zephir (boy)... And now we like Isabelle and Lucille for girls and Greyson for a boy. I'm sure that by the time we do have kids they will have changed again, but I have to say that I'm very attached to the name Greyson now, and whatever name we like better will have to be pretty awesome!

My boyfriend and I have the same middle name- Jean. The only difference is that my middle name is pronounced phonetically- JEEN- and his is the French translation of the name John. We've always thought it would be hilarious, and horribly mean, to give our future son or daughter then middle name Jean, but convince them that the pronounciation of their middle name is the opposite of their sex, so if we had a son, his would be pronounced like mine, and vice versa, and see how long we could keep it up.

Obviously, it's more fun to laugh maniacally about it than to actually do it, so we've been thinking about Adelaide or Isaac.

Well, we go back and forth on whether we even want children. Nonetheless, we still toss name ideas around from time to time. More often it's if we hear a horrible name, we'll declare not to call our kids that.

(Oh, except after we saw the movie "Zac and Miri Make a Porno", JJ got oddly obsessed with the name Miri. I'm pretty sure he still legitimately wants to name his daughter that...eep!)
