Baby Names

I'm with you all the way - I've been a complete naming addict since I was a little kid. Like you, I'm always the first to ask what the baby's name will be when someone announces a pregnancy - although I thought I would NEVER come up with a name for my own child. We finally settled on Rachael Anna Grace - my husband is so picky, but finally confessed to liking Rachel, but I chose the spelling Rachael. Anna is for my grandmother, and Grace has a significant meaning for us. So we finally got that straight, but you'll notice that I couldn't narrow it down to just ONE middle name...! :) I've already decided that if we have another little girl, her name will be Amelia, although we can't agree on a middle name...and if it's a boy, I'll have a hard time narrowing down my list of favorites. Do you belong to any online baby name message boards? The most popular one, I'd guess, is Babynames.com, but I personally would not recommend it. I belong to a private board that is wonderful if you'd like the link - there are lots of moms but also younger girls (your age) with a teen board as well as naming boards. Any of them would be lots of fun for discussing names, though.

Me, too, Melinda....I've always been completely obsessed. I remember creating families in my mind while doing chores around the house as a child. I never knew there were other people like me...lol. Since then I've found out there are many, many of us. Coincidentally I've never had any children, but I think it would be extremely difficult for me to choose a name.
