I’ll be TTC come [name_u]July[/name_u] (I live in the desert, and it’s much too hot to be pregnant during it). I’m likely to have multiples, but I’m only in love with names for one boy and one girl. If I have two boys or two girls, I’m kinda doomed at this point! I’m going the anonymous donor route, so there won’t be another parent in the mix to help me decide on names…or to strike down my choices!
The names I’m in love with, and definitely plan to use, are:
[name_m]Henry[/name_m] [name_m]Atticus[/name_m]
[name_f]Lucy[/name_f] [name_f]Adelaide[/name_f]
To Kill a Mockingbird and The Chronicles of [name_f]Narnia[/name_f] are two of my favorite (sets) of books. I also love (love, love) [name_m]Harry[/name_m] [name_m]Potter[/name_m] and I do enjoy [name_f]Jane[/name_f] [name_u]Austen[/name_u]‘s novels and [name_m]Shakespeare[/name_m] plays. As an English major, a writer, and a soon-to-be librarian, I want to name my children after literary characters!
I would also like my kids’ middle names to start with an A, as my middle name is [name_f]Amber[/name_f]. It doesn’t particularly matter to me if the first or middle name is the literary one.
Well, Berries? Any suggestions?
