    @dc yoga bee: Have you guys consider Etta instead of Ella?

    Or Eliot, Ever, Elka and Alba might have a similar feel. Effie is more of a nick name I think, but its pretty fiesty too.

    So funny, because this is the thing that I'm least looking forward to. I hate picking out a name!! We've narrowed down the boy list, but the girl list is sooooo long!!

    Ladies... I think I found a name I love. I smiled when I thought of it because it's a nod to a famous author. It also plays on my love of literature, and undergrad degree in literature. I slept on it, woke up and still love it. It's cross cultural, and this morning DH said he likes it. I'm going to let it marinate for a few days, and see if I still love it! I'll report back!

    Thank you guys for all your help. It really got the creative juices flowing!

    @.twist.: lol!!! Okay, Let me think about it today, and then I'll post!!

    ETA: I tend to love a name, and then I no longer like it a few days later! This is the first time I do not have any negative associations with a name (does it flow well with middle name, sound okay with last name, make you think of this or that celebrity, etc...)

    I love them too but I am big on keeping our favorite name secret, so I will have to create a sockpuppet account if I ever want to post our name ideas!

    @daniellemybelle: I do the same thing. I just hate to feel locked in until I see the child.
