She Needs A Name

If you are going to be this cute, you deserve a name....

Don't you agree?

So here we are, 20 weeks, and still debating new baby girl's name.  This is so unlike me, I generally like to have my children named at the moment of conception.  Okay, not literally, but pretty close.  I think this gal threw us for loop when she announced, well, that she was a gal.  {Not that we were set on a boy's name either, so I guess I can't really use that as an excuse}

It's just been really challenging with the third.  I have a lot of criteria {imagine that}.  But, seriously, this is her name for life and I want to make sure we get it right.  So here is the criteria...1) something pretty traditional/old--to go with Jack and Maggie {Margaret} 2) a two syllable name 3) and a name that ends with the long e sound.

The good news is we have it narrowed down to 3 names.  The bad news is we have a minor hang up with each of them.  Now it's just up to us {and you} to figure out which hang up is the most minor.  So, here we go.  I will take any and all opinions.  You won't hurt my feelings because no matter what you say it will be one of these names.  Be honest, but don't get your feelings hurt if I don't listen to you...wink wink.  And always keep in mind the other two children's names and our last name.  Here we go in no particular order}...

Lucy:  Her formal name would be Lucille.  Middle name is still a debate. I love Elizabeth and Jane with it, but would most likely go with Anne {although it's not my fave with it} to give her a family name.  The hang up?...my Mom has a 10 year old dog named Lucy {whom I adore, so I have a good connotation with it}.  But, maybe a bit odd?  Oh, and I must admit this is my favorite choice ;)

Annie:  Her name would be Annie.  Middle name Elizabeth for sure.  I like it because it is a form of a family name, Anne.  The hang up?...I don't want her to be called Anne {ever}.  And I feel like as she grows older this would happen.

Molly:  Middle name Anne or Elizabeth.  I have always adored this name.  And love the fact that I could reuse some of Maggie's "M" monogrammed clothes.  The hang up?...Maggie and Molly...too much alike?  I'd like them to have some identity of their own.

I feel even more confused than ever now that I have them all written out.  I can picture all of those names fitting into our family.  How will I ever decide?  Maybe I need triplets.  {totally kidding}

So for now I call her my little LAM {lamb}, until her name is finalized.  I've got a pile of onesies that need monogramming and a blank wall in her soon to be nursery that needs a name on it.

I'll be waiting on your advice...
