“Can Cup of Jo PLEASE constitute different babe sanction post?? I cognize Jo is possibly nary longer successful the babe sanction zone, but determination are truthful galore readers who would admit a accidental to get sanction ideas from different readers — myself included!”

*Well*, I, too, person been hanging successful the babe sanction section due to the fact that coming this October, my hubby Max and I volition beryllium welcoming our 3rd baby, a saccharine small girl! We are truthful excited, and these days each we speech astir is who we deliberation our caller small nugget will resemble, however Emiliano is going to set to being a large brother, and what we deliberation Ella volition accidental the archetypal clip she meets her small sister (here’s a video of the archetypal clip she met Emiliano).

But the taxable that that keeps america up precocious talking successful bed? The baby’s name. We’ve been racking our brains trying to travel up with a sanction that fits, and, you guys, we are struggling!

Back with our archetypal baby, Ella

We had coagulated plans erstwhile we named Ella and Emiliano. As soon arsenic we saw the treble lines connected our gestation trial for the archetypal time, some Max and I agreed that if the enactment was female, I would take the sanction since I already had 3 names I adored (Ella, Ilana, and Remy). If it was a boy, Max would get to take the name. Since I ended up getting sanction rights with Ella, we made a pact that if we had a 2nd kid, Max would get dibs connected the archetypal name. He ever knew that helium wanted to sanction a lad Emiliano, a spin-off of his afloat sanction — Maximiliano. So, during my 2nd pregnancy, Max looked implicit astatine maine with the biggest grin aft we opened our doctor’s email and work “presence of a Y chromosome predicts a antheral fetus.”

We inactive person 5 months to brainstorm, but truthful acold we emotion the names Aaliyah (after the singer) and Margot (short and sweet). I’ve besides liked the sanction Joaquin for a boy, due to the fact that it sounds truthful strong.

Now I’d truly emotion to know: what babe names are you into these days? Would you sanction your babe aft a relative oregon place? Or what astir a fictional character? I privation to know!
