    Wife is due 11/5 and we still don't have a name for the little girl. I figured I'd care more by now, since we've had a name for all our other kids by this point in the pregnancy, but I don't. Nothing sounds good.

    No but that makes me want it even more now that you mention it.

    My names goals are very simple:

    1) nothing that can be mispronounced

    2) the fewer characters, the better. I don’t want my kids to experience the trauma of furiously coloring 20+ scantron bubbles on every school test like I went through

    I've always liked the name Olivia for a girl, but so do a lot of other people. I'm pretty sure it was the most popular girls name last year.

    Names we considered 8 years ago:
    Olivia
    Hannah
    Grace
    Arya (was a contender until wife found out why I pushed for it (game of thrones) and instantly shot it down. Finally convinced her to watch GoT before the final season and said if she had seen it prior to daughters birth she would have picked it).
    Violet
    Stella (2nd place)
    Harper (chose this one)

    we liked olivia a lot, and almost did olive as something different. settled on olivia for a middle name because we felt like there were too many olivias and when shes a teenager and hates us she can go by her middle name out of spite.

    The Arya character is pretty dope until the whole show comes crashing down at the end.

    Arya stayed dope though.
    My wife, by nature, ranges between skeptical to dismissive of any opinion I have. At the time, she associated Game of Thrones with something on the nerd level of Dungeons and Dragons. Finally convinced her to watch the show and she loved it (until the final season) and Arya was by far her favorite character.

    That is awesome. I was only able to make it to the first ultrasound and then could not make any other appointments. One of the absolute joys of experiencing the serious parts of pregnancy from 3/20-7/20…

    Violet was our set name if #1 was a girl.
    It was not the name if we had a girl #2, forget if we actually landed on one.

    Man I loved being in the ultrasound meetings, but also was a nervous wreck. Just waiting for the “yep everything looks fine” comment was torture.

    This week our little guy said “ma ma ma” for the first time. He has said “da da da” a couple times but I knew my wife was dying to hear him say ma ma. She immediately started tearing up.

    It’s incredible the pace he is developing right now. He’s 13 months and isn’t walking but is cruising like mad; and is basically walking when I hold one of his hands. Had to order another gate for the stairs bc he likes climbing them so much.

    We named our daughter Zoey. We agreed on it in like 30 seconds. It was possibly the easiest decision we've ever made together, which was odd. Took months to figure out the boy name.

    Also, do 1 year olds ever get full? This kid puts down food like it’s going to run out. We feed him and he’s still grabbing Cheerios and anything else he can shove in his mouth. It’s crazy.

    We have a 2.5 year old and about a 5 month old and the goal for this week is for both to attend daycare their regularly scheduled days and for both mom and dad to work their regularly scheduled work schedule. Daycare has been open that whole time but we just can't seem to get them healthy at the same time. Hasn't happened in 5+ weeks and it's maddening.
