My husband and I are expecting our first child, a daughter, on June 24. We are so thrilled, and cannot believe how fast the pregnancy has gone by so far! This might be why we have yet to decide on a name! <\/p>\n
After reading countless lists from baby name books, websites, blogs, etc, we think we have it narrowed down to about 4 names: Stella, Lydia, Kate, and Rosalynn. (I just like Kate, not Katherine or any other formal name in which Kate is a nick name). My husband and I both have fairly common first names, so I like these 4 because they are feminine and classic, yet not too popular. Our last name is Foster – which is great because anything seems to go with it, but that also makes it a bit more challenging when we’re feeling indecisive!<\/p>\n
For middle names I like Rosalynn, Nichole (my sister’s middle name), and Jean (both of my grandmother’s middle names). Do you think that you and\/or your readers could help us make a decision?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
I accidentally put this one in my spreadsheet as a due date of JULY instead of June! ACK!! Let’s get some polls up FAST and even if it is TOO LATE and the baby is already named, we will still have fun with the polls and the comment section! I like Stella Jean Foster and Rosalynn Nichole Foster. Polls over to the right! QUICK! [Polls closed; see results below.]<\/p>\n
Poll results<\/span> (223 votes total):
Stella: 66 votes, roughly 30%
Lydia: 75 votes, roughly 34%
Kate: 53 votes, roughly 24%
Rosalynn: 29 votes, roughly 13%<\/p>\nName update<\/span>! Jennifer writes: “She surprised us all and came a month early on May 25!!! We decided on Stella Nichole Foster and it seems to suit her : )”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
