The name game....something that Joe and I have played even before thinking about children. We have a very big difference in opinion in what constitutes a "good name." It was a given that our son's first name would be Joseph but we are anticipating calling him by his middle name (I feel very strongly that our little guy needs to have his own identity) so we wanted to make sure we gave it some thought and it was something that we could both agree on. Surprisingly, the middle name came early on in our search but it took me a while to commit to it as I kept thinking "what if it isn't a good fit?" Well the letters have been pasted and framed (I've been having fun with picture projects) so I guess this is it. We haven't been outwardly sharing as I have been bombarded often from people I don't know (i.e. the cashier at the grocery store, the worker at Dunkin' Donuts, ladies at the gym, mother's at work) with the question "Have you chosen a name?" I don't mind sharing but I'd at least like to know you first. I have become very accustomed to responding with "we are still deciding" or "it will probably be a last minute decision," or "we have to meet him first." I have encountered such nice people since displaying my bump- the smiles I get, the sharing of excitement, the compliments of "cute" and "adorable." It has been very sweet. But I'd hate to disappoint someone with a name that they don't like so it's just been better to keep it to ourselves. Here are his initials....For those that don't know- wonder if you can guess the middle name? :-)
