We have finalized names!

On Wednesday night we finalized our girl name and on Thursday night we finalized our boy name. No one knows the names we have picked out. Some do have an idea of what we are thinking however.

DH and I have been together for 12 years, married for 6 this July. Our girl name has ALWAYS been Annabella. Apparently we were watching a movie while dating, and a character was named Annabella. We both must have said that was a pretty name, etc and it has stuck. The middle name we were going to do Maria. However, dh is 100% Italian and Annabella Maria, paired with our last name, was like a scene from the Godfather! DH mentioned Rose as a possibility(I did want Faith/Hope but he said if one of the boys was a girl it would have been more appropriate after dealing with infertility, etc...). So as we were driving, I said outloud, "Annabella Rose" and I immediately loved it-so-there it is!

For a boy name, we wanted something to go with Nicholas and Anthony. I like Matthew, Zachary, Andrew, Timothy and Michael. DH was set on Michael. He was not fond of the other names. I do really like Michael, as I feel it goes really well with the boys names, it's a nice strong name, etc. What I don't like about Michael is it's popularity and the fact that dh's uncle(great) and cousin(2nd or 3rd) are also Michael's. But-I have always liked the name-especially when said with our boy names. He said he picked the first name I could pick the middle name. I like the way Michael Timothy sounds-so there it is-Michael Timothy! And Timothy happens to be the name of my great grandfather-and I am Irish-so a little bit of both for us!

Now, on Wednesday we will either meet Annabella Rose or Michael Timothy!

 

Great names!! :wub:

Can't wait to hear which name you get to use! Do you think you are having a boy or a girl? Or do you not have a feeling one way or the other? And, wow - Wednesday! That's so close!! :banana:

Thanks for the reminder! I don't think I, we, are ready! Oh that's another post though...LOL!

As for what I am having-CLUELESS! Absolutely clueless! Same with the boys. Although I did find out with them.... The only thing different with this pregnancy and the boys was that I had nausea from weeks 8-10. Nothing with the boys. And I have also had heartburn from the very beginning. With the boys-it was at the end. That's it. No different. No clue if I am carrying differently...going from two babies to one...add in the twin skin...Who knows! All I know is that this baby is measuring 7.9lbs as of this past Tuesday...We'll see how big he/she is!

I did have a dream it was a girl. However, right before the boys were born, I had a dream they were both girls, but they were both healthy. I think the healthy part was the main reason for the dream as Baby B(Anthony) was a 1 in 49 chance of having Down Syndrome(we didn't do further testing as it would have changed nothing). After that dream, I knew I was going to have healthy children. Weird, I know.

So-in five days...we'll find out! I am hoping girl so we can use the name, amongst other reasons. Boy-so I can use the DOUBLE amount of clothes I already have-some never worn, some worn once...Either way-he/she will be a blessing and I *think* I will be able to say our family is complete!

Those are great names!!! I'm not sure if anyone has asked this, but do you have an inkling on the sex of the baby? We should do a vote to see what everyone thinks.

That's so funny! You are exactly right on the Michael pronunciation...Drives me kinda crazy though! LOL! Because I know that's how some of the family is going to be pronouncing it. Nicholas is the same as well. Now Anthony-they pronounce almost like Ant-tony...Not sure if I am spelling that phonetically correct or not. But almost like there is no 'h' there. And I hope Michael stays Michael....only because dh's uncle is one and when the wife talks about him-just drives me crazy! "Mee-kay" OY!

And Pamala...Not an inkling at all as to what we are having. I did do a poll awhiel back-and out of 17 responses, I think 15 said girl and 2 said boy. We'll be finding out soon! Part of me now wants a girl so I can use that name. What a beautiful name to "waste." Oy. Almost three more days to go...

 

I :wub: both of those names!!! I can't wait to hear what the end result is!!
