Since both my daughters are expecting (grandbaby clouds 7 and 8), I have been collecting and considering names. Not my choice to make in the end, but I am graciously granted some input rights.
Did I tell you? (can't remember). Beautiful Daughter No. 1, who already has four girls, is now expecting a boy! Yay! But boys names are hard. We don't like common names like Daniel or Matthew, but don't want something too weird or too hard to spell.
In the lead for BD#1 are: Ander, Kai and Jace. Middle name will most likely be Javier. In the lead for BD#2 (who will not know beforehand what she's having) is, apparently, Lazarus.
