The baby name search continues. I go through phases, where I really like the list we've come up with, and times when I hate all the names on the list. Right now I'm in-between. I don't hate the names, but I'm not inspired by them.
The standards on the rotating list include:
Evelyn
Katherine
Margaret
Amelia (although it's kind of falling off the list)
New additions to the list include Avery and Maeve. Why? I don't know. Cuz we saw them and liked them. Would a girl named Avery be teased with Ovary? I don't know. Would Maeve Lew be an ethnically complicated combination? Very Irish and very Chinese...which I guess is what our kid is going to be. Well, very Anglican/European and about a quarter Chinese. I generally am not a big fan of the gaelic names trend, but Jon and I both like Maeve.
Name that Jon likes but I don't: Priscilla.
Name that I like and Jon doesn't: Fiona.
Name I like that just doesn't work with Lew: Lucy
I don't think we're going to have a decision by the birth. Last night Jon was talking to the baby, giving her the list of names to see if she kicked at one. No luck, but we might keep doing that. Or just see what she looks like when she's born.

Since when is Mia short for Amelia? I don't get it. I liked kt's opinion on pediatrician's, too. I agree with her. A girl in nursery with Noah is named nevaeh. ugh. Also I heard of a family who purposely named their kids so the first initial of their names spelled "heaven" if you put them in order. double ugh.
