Hello everyone! My name is [name]Mariah[/name] [name]Wheeler[/name] and I am new to Nameberry so I am not exactly sure where to begin. My DH and I recently found out we are having twins and this is our first pregnancy We do not know the sexes yet and we are not sure yet if we want to or not. We are very excited and cannot wait to find the names. DH and I are both history professors and extremely fascinated by the Old [name]West[/name], Westward Expansion, and just the Pioneer Times in general. We want names to reflect this. So give us your best Pioneer names! As far as girls names go right now we are thinking [name]Clara[/name] but we would love some suggestions.
Thanks!
I think this is what you mean. My moms name is [name]Clara[/name], so maybe my name, [name]Anna[/name]
