The Name Game

Ever since I was little, I've loved names. I'm notorious in my family for naming everything. The story my Dad likes to tell the best is of the time he, Mum and I were fishing in Canada (we have an island and cabin up there)..I caught a fish, a smallmouth bass, but my Dad said it was too small to keep and we'd forgotten the camera. This pretty much was the end of the world to me...as I waved good-bye to the fish I sobbed out "bye Gracie!". : P


That's not really changed. I still name everything (including the fish I catch in Canada, if you're asking). So (as you'll read to the right) since I'm looking forward to being a mother above all else except meeting my Father, I've thought out names for my kids. I like names that are unique, but not weird. Right now my favorites are (fem.) Stella Magdalene (I've always always loved Stella, and I love the middle name being biblical), Maisie Kate (first name courtesy of MckMama, and I'm a Dr. Suess FREAK, although I know the spelling is different [Maizie]. Anna wants to name their first daughter Kate so I thought if the Lord allows that to happen, she'll be named after her) and Ivy Delilah (predictably, another blog name, thank you Sheye. Middle name biblical as well - are you seeing a trend?). Favorites for boys are Cullen James (NO! Before the accusations start, let me issue a disclaimer. I love Twilight, although I am more of a LotR chick, but I am NOT naming my son after Edward Cullen! xP Again, thank you MckMama. And of course James is a classic, sturdy biblical name), Emmett Daniel (another Twilight disclaimer. In fact I think of this as my son being named after ME! Do you like that? And of course Daniel is another strong, sturdy and biblical name) and Dillon Asher (I just really like Dillon, and Asher is, again, biblical).

So what do you think? Of course, these are just for fun..I know my husband is going to have an opinion as well! xP What names do YOU like?

P.S. Off-topic, but:
A beautiful quote: "Lead me to peace that is past understanding, a peace beyond all doubt". - Newsboys
Isn't that great? It lets me know how much more God is powerful than I, and how tiny I am compared to Him...really, I don't need anything in this world!

xooxoo Em, Emmaline, M&M...girl of a million nicknames ; )
