I am on my way out the door to do more frantic shopping\/errands, but wanted to post something. This is one of the letters I didn’t get to last week, but thought would be fun to work on. In my spreadsheet I noted “Suggest Marilla.”<\/p>\n
Hi!<\/p>\n
I’ve been trying to figure this out on my own, but I think it’s time to ask for help. We are in the USA and this will likely be our last child. My name is Ali (Alison) and husband is Trevor.<\/p>\n
Baby #2 (unknown sex) is due mid-February 2015. Our last name is Gibbs. Baby #1 is Myra Taylor. For no particular reason, I have been looking for names that peaked around the same era as “Myra (1920s and it seems 1880s),” but certainly not limited to that. I am not really interested in anything top 200 or up and coming. I actually enjoy the very rare occasions we run into another Myra.<\/p>\n
My top two names are Chester (boy) and Rissa (girl) though Nell (girl) is a close second, but already used by a cousin with the same last name. Husband hasn’t vetoed them, but hasn’t fallen in love either. Middle name will definitely be either Jeffrey or Christine.<\/p>\n
Names we like but, so far, aren’t choosing for one reason or another, mostly popularity: Anissa, Emma, Delilah, Silas, Judah, Everett.<\/p>\n
Thank you for any help you can offer!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Hi!<\/p>\n
Baby Boy Gibbs was born on his due date, February 11. Thank you all for the wonderful name suggestions. If he had been a girl, we would have most likely used Esme as we fell in love with it after reading these comments. We were strongly considering Nell as a second choice. In the brief time between sending my email and it being posted, my husband suggested Nikolai as a version of Nikola (from Tesla). I liked Nikolai okay, but we both liked the sound of Niko even more. So, he is Niko (Nikolai) Jeffrey. Thanks again for all the suggestions, we strongly considered quite a few from the comments! In fact, he was nameless for three hours after birth while we considered names.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
