Here are the names we're set on for if/when we finally get pregnant. Since we're using fertility methods (thereby increasing odds of twins) we've chosen two boy and two girl names. An interesting note, we've decided the signature family thing for our kids will be that everyone goes by their middle name, like their dad does.
So here they are:
William Everett Peel - boy name 1 "Everett"
Linwood James Peel - boy name 2 "James"
Charlotte Edith Peel - girl name 1 "Edie"
Martha Kathleen Peel - girl name 2 "Katy"
All family names, and fairly old fashioned. We've had Everett and Edie set for so long, and their definitely the favorites. I would love to have boy/girl twins just to use those two names together. Too cute, you know?
William was Geoff's mother's father, Everett was my mother's father. Linwood was Geoff's father's father, James was my mother's mother's second husband and her brother (my great-uncle). Charlotte is Geoff's mother's best friend and like an aunt to Geoff, Edith comes from my name and Edith Schaeffer. Martha was Geoff's mother's aunt (a missionary all her life to South America and a remarkable woman I met a few years ago at her 100th birthday celebration) and my Aunt's name, and Kathleen is Geoff's sister's middle name and also a derivative of the many Katie's/Kathy's etc in my mother's family. I love names with meaning.

"James" was my mother's father's name... James Austin Griffin... that would be your mother's grandfather or you grandmother's father or your mother's mother's father... something like that!
love you,
mom
WHAT? No Plaxico or Pedro Jesus in there? I'm disappointed! Ha!
Love all the names! We also have "other baby" names picked out if we ever decide to try again. Of course, ours don't have as much meaning behind them as yours do, but the most important thing is how much you like the names and then if it all flows together well!
Love all the names and am praying that Father, God will bless you in such a way that you and Geoff will be able to use ALL of them:)
Children are indeed a gift of the Lord.
