Names

I always knew when I had a girl I would name her after my twin Brandy, but getting a middle name is sooo much harder than picking out a first name.  After my grndmother passed away from her nine year battle with cancer, I wanted to make sure her name was carried on too.  My other grandmother is still here, but I wanted a namesake for her too.  It was difficult to put Cathrine and Charlene together, but I think Cathlene is a fairly decent name that she will be able to live with.

I envy the fact you can agree on a name this early. We have a list but neither of us have really loved anything. I still have four months though… xxx
