One of my best friends, Darryl, & I were talking about the naming of our children the other day & ironically I received a "babycenter" email about the top 100 names of 2010! It caused me to think....the naming of your children seems to been such a difficult decision. I'll never forget when the topic came up between me & Durbin. It was before I was even pregnant, maybe before we were even married. We mentioned the name Evelyn & it was set. There weren't name books, disagreements, etc. We agreed immediately & without reservation. Easy as pie...that is if we ever had a girl, right?:) We're SOOO happy we didn't pick a name within the top 50 or some popular/trendy name that will phase out! I never wanted my child to have a common name, moreorless be the 10th child in class with the same name! I wanted a classic, traditional, elegant name & apparently from what I hear & read...we got it! Yippy! (Now don't steal it Darryl...hahaha) And the best part is the name Evelyn means "LIFE!" I couldn't have asked for a better meaning!
I never would have thought I would've picked Evelyn, but I'm sure happy we did!!! I just love the name! Who would've thought it would be that easy.... surely not me:)
So, now a couple of my friends are going through the name game & I'm starting to realize just how hard it truly is to name a child. A name....something they will have for the rest of their life! It's such a special, yet difficult decision! If we have more kids.....I hope the second one will be as easy as the first. To all my friends out there going through this process.....I'd suggest drawing a name from a hat:) LOL
check out www.babycenter.com/top-baby-names-2010 to see all the names, their meanings & the trend of their popularity! It's pretty interesting.
Good luck ladies and gents:)
