Names!

Good morning everyone,

Even before we were pregnant, we had talked about names from time to time. After some final consideration last night, I think we have our names!

If it's a boy, he will be Nathan Cale Whippo. We chose this name simply because we like it. Nathan means "He (God) has given," and is a part of the name "Jonathan," a nice added bonus. :)

If it's a girl, we decided quite a while ago that her name would be Linnea (lin-AY-uh). This is Jon's favorite name for a girl (and I like it too, of course.) So if we have a daughter, she can say she was named by Daddy! We have yet to find a middle name, so any suggestions are welcome! Currently we are considering Linnea Charlotte and Linnea Rose.

Disclaimer: Don't hold us to these, they could change at any time -- I'm only a month pregnant here! Though there is a good chance we will stick with these. :)

Please leave any comments, especially suggestions for Linnea's middle name. You do not have to be a member of Blogger to comment.

Love,
Morgan

Linnea Beatrix Whippo is my suggestion. I think it sounds spunky and youthful but fit on an adult perfectly. Your Nathan Cale is wonderful. I also like Lavina and Lavinia.

Sorry for this getting so long, but I'm a bit of a name nerd. I'm not going to have kids anytime soon, but I write stories so this helps me when I do them. :)

I've loved the name Linnea ever since I read this book called "Linnea in Monet's Garden" about a girl who visits Money and his lily pads. It had a matching doll that my friend had, too!

I also like your boy name choice, too!
