Some of these names I hate and some of them Ski hated. Some of them we both like. Just like last time, I suspect we'll be sitting in the hospital room six hours after s/he is born figuring it out.
You can vote for one or two or three on both lists and it is strictly anonymous. I meant to put D'Brickashaw on the lists per my brother-in-law's request but was thinking that maybe it doesn't flow with Renee. I could be wrong though. I mean, I have been wrong once or twice before.
I don't tell anyone what our name choices are. And, like you, I don't give a rat's patoot what they say after they're named! Once it's on the birth certificate, tough sh*t! Although with our youngest boy, we also went about 4-5 hours without a name. I like to hear suggestions, which is why I don't mind giving them, but in the end, you guys have to make the ultimate choice. Last time I was pregnant, our priest talked about our names and how we have them FOR ALL ETERNITY! Yeah, no pressure! Good luck!
And really, no D'Brickashaw? Come on! (And for the record, I love Renee's name).

How could anyone not like Renee, especially when it's your mothers name, how rude! I think no matter what the name it is special to you and Ski and that is all that matters. I love how the two of you have listed very classic names for the boys, but truly I love the name Adeline for a girl, very cute. Just a little personal opinion though, don't think you should listen to it in any way:) Good luck I'm sure this is a very difficult decision!

after i told my SIL what i wanted for a boy's name she told me that all kids with that name have autism. and all boys that had j-names were troublemakers. um, hello?? that pissed me off so i didn't share anything with her for a girls' name!
i like the girls' names on your list - btw! tough choices!

someone seriously told you they didn't like the name you picked out? really?
i like josephine, it's on our list if we ever have a girl because it was my grandma's name (hence my middle name jo :).

Obvs Ryan is an excellent choice:) And of your girl names, Camille and Katherine are my favorites. Best of luck!

gee...i wonder what i picked for a girl name...lol - i am biased! i think that the names you have picked out are cute and i think that no matter what you name the baby, it will grow on her/him and become totally perfect.
