What's In A Name....

Not that Whit and I are thinking about naming our baby anything Shakespearean :), but we have been considering several boy and girl options that we love.

I have an appointment next Thursday the 29th, I will be about 17.5 weeks. I am not sure if they will do a sono yet, but if they do I guess we could know what our baby is! But, if they don't we have our 20 week appt. on February 17th with the specialist....in addition to checking the sex, I guess they also look into other abnormalities, etc. So, either way we will know in about 3.5 weeks! Yeah!!

So, here are out top two boy names and top two girl names. Let me know what you think, don't say anything negative in case we choose it, but would love to know what you prefer or think sounds cute!

Girl:
1. Madeleine Reece Copley
Madeleine we just love and Reece is a family name on Whit's side

2. Harper (note sure middle name) Copley
We love Harper, but I just can't settle on a middle name that I like with it, options are:
Blair (my middle name), Reed (my mom's maiden name), Elizabeth (a favorite of Whit's), Marie (a family name on both sides), Anderson (family on Whit's side)

Boy:
1. Claiborne Whitmire Copley, Jr. call him "Clay"
This is Whit's full name, can you tell he is from the south :) And we love the idea of a jr. and like Clay...

2. William Bennett Copley call him "Bennett"
William is a family name on my side and Bennett we just really like!

Other girl name considered: Samantha
Other boy name considered: Jacob and Hayes

Samantha is the obvious choice, guys. Clearly the best option! Only kidding, all are beautiful. Madeleine Reece is my fav! As is the "Jr." option for a little boy...so sweet!
