Ok, Y'all. I need anyone and everyone to de-lurk for this one!! Remember when I mentioned that I was going to be an auntie a couple weeks back? Well, my sister and brother-in-law are having a heck of a time coming up with a good "girl" name for their impending arrival. They really had their hearts set on having a boy, as there were already two beautiful girls that were part of the package when they got married. 8^) As you can imagine, they have had a "boy" name picked out for months, but the "girl" name is eluding them. Will you help? They would SOOOOO appreciate it! They do have just a couple ground rules though...
#1 The names can not start with a "K" or and "A". They already have a Kayla and an Alicia
#2 They have eliminated the name "Jordan" from the list.
So people, what do you think? Can you help? It would be so very appreciated.
Thanks!! 8^)
PS My friend Perri reminded me that a last name would be helpful here. Oops!! Their last name is Soliday (said like holiday). So, now you all can figure out what would flow nicely.
Thanks again everyone.

- I am the wife to a wonderful man named Will, and Mom to 5 amazing kids. Both Will and I were widowed before we met. We had 3 children between us when we married. We welcomed a new addition 1 1/2 years later. The pregnancy and birth were wild, so we decided to be "done". God had a different plan. We were introduced to international adoption, and started that process 11/04. We brought our 5th child home from Ethiopia 4/06. You could say our kids are Your's, Mine, Our's and Someone Else's. 8^) We are just grateful that they are all OUR'S! Someday, we will adopt from Ethiopia again. We know there is an "older child" that is meant to be part of our family. We trust that God will let us know when the time is right. Parenting is the hardest and most rewarding thing I have ever taken on. I am not an expert, but I'm happy to share any insights I gain along the way. I also appreciate any tips I can glean from my readers. After all, it takes a village, right?!

London Soliday
Andi's suggestions (remember she is sleep deprived) are (because it rhymes with holiday) are
Mary, Marybell, Happy, Joyous, Noel & Holly. I vetoed them all and slapped her for you.
My suggestions are
Brianna, Hannah, Brooke, Brenna, Katelynn, Mia, Paige, Jenna, Amy, Whitney & Megan
Here I am, de-lurking with suggestions as requested... :)
Madeline
Isabella
Olivia
Good luck!
Heidi
I was just at a party where a friend had her grandaughter with her. Her name was Lilly. i thought that was pretty name.
Grandma Diane
Remember to consider what the innitials will spell out. For example, Alicia Sally Soliday would not be very nice.
Will
I don't know what's wrong with me... I've tried, but EVERY single name I think of starts with an A or K!
What about
Malia
Sadie
Jeslyn
If they like alliteration:
Samantha, Sally, Suzanne
Here are a few that I personally like.
Audra--I know it's an "a", but I like it!!
Sara
Paige
Melanie
Let us know what they decide :)
Cousin Julie
Nyla
Maya
Shiloh
We have friends who just named their new baby girl Tierza. Sounds like "TEAR-zuh" maybe I spelled it wrong. Anyway, I think its really pretty.

Hey Blaine,
I like Olivia, Sarah, Lydia, Emily and Grace.
Beth
My favorite name that I didn't get to use is Charlotte. I love classic sounding names. Do they want to stick with the names all ending in that soft "a" sound like Kayla and Alicia? Then maybe Emma, Jenna, Dena, or Alana.
We get lots of comments on one of our daughters unique name: Hosanna Joy. We pronounce the middle ann like "on" rather than "an".
I think it would go well with Kayla and and Alicia.
Laurel :)
I love.....
Bella (short for Isabella)
Maya
Charlie
Charity
Sadie
Good Luck!
Lisa
