Good Monday Morning Friends!!!
Hope everyone had an awesome weekend!
It's raining on this side of the world so i am singing:
"rain rain go away...come back another day even though you are good for my sinuses!"
Onto Mommylogues Monday!
One of the most daunting tasks at hand during pregnancy is naming our baby.
And there are hundreds of baby name websites, books and apps to help you name your baby.
My niece, bless her heart, has the app on her iphone to help come up with names for the baby.
Last night, we were going over the names and there were like a million names to choose from.
Of course in blogsphere coming up with Baby Pancakes' name was natural
but calling our little one Baby Pancakes is just not going to cut it...
plus our families and friends may look at us cross eyed with confusion.
How do we choose a name for our baby?
Do we name him after Mr. Pancakes?
Do we name him after my dad since Mr. Pancakes is already named after his dad?
Does he become a Junior Junior?
Do we name him after someone famous?
Someone we admire?
A biblical name?
A name i have always liked?
Remember Charlotte of SATC and Monica of Friends,
had picked out a name for her future baby.
A made up name? Like Apple of our eye?!
A combination of our names?
Clearly, there are so many options to choosing the right name.
But it's not just choosing a name, it's choosing a name that has meaning.
A name that is strong and powerful which will carry him through his life.
A name that will not discriminate but instead give him opportunities beyond this world.
And for Team Pancakes it will come down to choosing a name that are all that
and "biblical" and "family oriented".
The family name will be after my dad and it will become his middle name.
We have decided once we have a first name to keep it between us
until we finally meet and share his name with him for the first time.
I remember calling out my godson's name during delivery
and the doctor and nurses encouraging him to enter into this world
by his name and that i thought was a special moment!!
There is something magical about calling your baby by his name as he enters this world.
I can't wait to meet Baby Pancakes by calling out his name as he enters into this world!
It's definitely a daunting task but one that we are proud to do
because giving him a name is one of the first and most important responsibilities we have as parents!!
Question of the Day:
How did you choose your baby's name?
Did you keep it until the baby was born?
