Baby Names

Just for the record, and for fun I thought I'd write a post about naming the baby. We have had such a hard time coming up with a name. I think we are down to the finals though. Every child wants to know what there name COULD have been, so this is why I write. Baby #3, you have been called MANY different things so far ;)
Claire calls you "Baby Haas" (pronounced like "ha ha he he" type of Ha)
Olivia would like to name you after one of her friends like "McKenna" or "Myah" She changes her mind often though, she has also liked the names Cynthia and Maria
Daddy would like to name you Alexis, or Katelyn
I would have liked to name you Addalyn
The other many names that we have considered were:
Ellianna
Elle
Ellie
Emelia
Eliza
Alexa

But in the end I think the final names that we are considering are:
Emma Kate Peterson or
Ava Camille Peterson
Unless of course we decide on something else entirely last minute ;)

Last night I was thinking "Ava Marie" was a pretty name but it seemed so familiar. Then I laughed and started singing "Ave Maria" ...Probably not ;)

I like both the names you have chosen. We had two names for Emily and we didn't decide until she entered this world. She looked like an Emily Catherine, not an Alesha Marie. Hey! There's that "Marie" again! It IS a family name. :)

Ave Maria! hahahaahah that cracked me up!
Personally I like Emma better.

Elyssa is a pretty name (a longer version of Ellie).

Well of course we have an Emma Natalia and I always call her Emmy. I just love that. Emma Kate is so cute together.

Just so you know, I think of her as Emma Kate now.

Very cute names. I love the finals. Did I tell you that Shanna Kesler named her baby Claire Aliva. Those are cute names too :)

Well, I REALLY like the name Ellie (hehe, no bias there, right?) but out of your final name choices I love Emma. What a pretty name!

I love both of your final names--I LOVE Emma Kate (love love love the nickname "Emmy" or "Emme"), it just sounds so pretty together. And I've always loved the name Ava in general, it's a pretty name. So hard to choose! Can't wait to see the newbie :)

Those are all such cute names! (well, maybe not Haas ;) and your final two are both lovely! Ava and Emma are both such pretty names. I really like Addalyn, Eliza and Elle too. We're so excited for you guys!

This is my fourth comment and you know what it's going to say don't you? Are you going for a record? It's been 21 days since your last post and it didn't even have a photo in it! :)
