Baby names...

that we aren't going to use. I know, that's no fun : ) These are names I love, but because either (a) Mike doesn't like it, or (b) it just doesn't sound right with Cal, Kaycey, Maddie, so we aren't using it. There are plenty of other names I like, but simply because they are on the 20 most popular names, I won't use 'em. I remember in grade school, I loved being the only Elizabeth in the school. And in our combined class (we were always combined with another grade, 1&2, 3&4, and so on...)There were 5 Lisa's out of 25 kids. Yep, I won't do that to my kids.

For a girl:

• I love Charlotte, Mike does not. Though he thinks Charlie is cute for a girl. Huh.
• I love Hadley, Mike says, "What kind of name is that?" I guess it sounds like Maddie a bit, too.
• we both like Gretchen, sounds too harsh with the other kids' names. And ends with "en" which kind of repeats Madilyn.
• We love the name Carleigh (and that's how I want to spell it). Mike said no to the spelling, and it sounds kind of repititious with Cal & Kaycey. That's how I would want to spell Ashleigh, too. Mike thinks I like to torture the kids with spelling their names like no one else does (Kaycey, Madilyn...) I think it makes it unique.
• Peyton. Madilyn, Peyton. I don't know.

For boy:

• I love Grayson!! Had been a name on the list when we had Maddie. Also it's my Great-Grandma's maiden name. But it sounds so close to Kaycey...
• Still, I really do like the name Brett, but well...I'll leave it at that
• I like Kendall. Mike thinks it's a little girly, and well back to that whole "K" sound thing. Too much of it.
• Ryland. Again, Mike's response, "what kind of name is that?"
• Finn. (Finnegan) Mike said, "no".

Mike says "no" alot.

I sure get technical, huh? : ) I have other favorites that are still possibilities, but we'll see about sharing those later : )
