Somehow, yesterday "Midgie" was born. Midget AKA "Midgie" is now what we have affectionately calling baby number 3. It's funny because Midget, who we called Midgie, was an EXTREMELY large, bug eyed chihuahua that my aunt and uncle used to have. She was an ok dog, used to perch on Rusty's should like a parrot she loved him so much. But my brother tormented that poor dog by following her around their house singing over and over again, "Midgie Midgie Midgie with the big black eyeballs!" And somehow that is what we have come to call our child!
But in all seriousness, naming is important. I prefer old fashioned names. Jeff of course, seems to like the new age, funky ones. I like names with traditional spelling. I like names that can be spelled and pronounced without help. Jeff likes names that are occupations or inanimate objects. And since both of our other kids have vowel names I think Midgie should too. There have been many fight over these, but somehow we ended up with an Andrew and an Elena. Middle names should have meaning I think- Andrew's is Wyatt and is after his uncle Alan Wyatt who never had any children of his own. Ellie's is Shea, after her Momma. I used to hate it- I now think it's pretty and unique.
So this brings me to my point: my name picks so far. I still maintain that Midgie is a boy but in case I am proven wrong I have choices for both, first and middle names. I don't believe in naming a child until you've seen them, touched them and looked into their eyes. So none of these are definites, but are instead my "likes." I'm sure Jeff will disagree on them all, as he usually does. We'll see what comes of it.
You are who you already are, Little One, and we love you. We'll see who you BECOME...
