Ohhh, the List.

Ohhh, there is a list.

There is a list...
of names...
baby names.

There is an on-going, never-ending, ever-changing, hypothetical, not-needed-at-present list of baby names.

I don't remember the first time I thought, "I like that name.  I might name a baby that someday," but I can assure you, it was at a young age, and it was the first of the same thought that would cross my mind countless times in the years to come.

For some reason, I think I have four names at the moment... for the four hypothetical children that Hubby and I might have.  And I think, "Perfect.  Finally, I've settled on the names I like best."

Then I think, I'd better write these names down, lest, I'll forget when the time comes to name my four yet-to-be-conceived babies.  It's in writing down those names that the flood gates open.

I cannot write down four names, I write down twenty names.

Ohhh, the List.

At present, names that top my list are (in no particular order):

    1. I love several of the names you have on each list. We had a list of names before we had children too. The only name that we have used from the list was...Cade. The rest were all chosen during the wait of their arrival. :) Amy

    2. We have several of your names on our lists too, but when it comes down to it, naming a person is tough! At least you have an ample first and middle name list! Sanden for a boy would be very special for you guys and cute too!
