So, a lot lately (at least as far as this pregnancy is concerned) I've been focusing a lot on how not healthy I feel. Well, today I decided to take a new approach. I have currently redirected my thoughts to one of my favorite topics: baby names!!!!! I checked out a book on baby names from the library today, here are a few of the new names I like, as well as the old ones I've always liked. Some of the ones that have been rattling around in my head a little longer I've also attached middle names to. I'd be interested to hear your thoughts.

I've found a few trends in my naming philosophy. #1 I like unusual, but not too-far-out-there names for both boys and girls. #2 I've been really liking the Irish names lately for some reason, especially the boy names. #3 I don't like very many girly girl names, probably a result of my detestation (is that a word? It is now.) for pink, girly, fluffy, frilly things.
For those of you that are seriously freaking out, wondering how I could possibly name my little boy Angus or my little girl Hadley (both names are on the top of my list by the way, I really like them both a lot), Aaron will come through and veto most, if not all, the names on my list in due time (like as soon as he sees it), so don't worry. This is merely a sampling of what our children would be named if the naming of them were solely up to me. :)

A girl in my ward is naming her little boy Lachlan-[Lock.lun]... Thought you might like it, or not.
Well, just to let you know, hehehe, um, our favorite names for boys right now are Noah, Orrie, Brendon, and Hadley. Hehehe. You and I are on the same track with unusual! Love your face!

Hadley & Harrison are both names I have picked out for boys... and they are on your girl list! Ha ha :-)
You have some good names. With the girl Emerson you could also go with Embrey. I also like the name Adalynn and Owen you picked out.
I like Oliver and Isaac for a boy.
I like the girl names way better than the boy names. I always loved Ashlynn but got vetoed on that one every time.
Hey there Krystal,
Larry said you forgot a name? He didn't see Larry anywhere on your list, you should add it to your list, or maybe Lars, or Lawrence
Oops, I didn't realize we were on Trichelle's log in. Trichelle's comment is really for Larry and Dawn.
I LOVE Ellyette!!!! I think that would be so adorable!!! I really like how you spelled it too. wow, I'm tempted to steal that one if you don't use it! just kidding...kind of...and oh I also love Owen. I think they both sound awesome with Swan. do you like Mckinly? I heard that one today for a girl, thought it was cute. I'm so excited for you to have another sweet baby! love you guys!!!
you suck at naming children do something like mike
I vote for Adalyn!! ha ha Was that in the book? We thought we made it up, but we've met a few of them... A couple unusual names I've heard are Titan for a boy and Juniper for a girl. I liked 'em. Good luck! Naming is always the hardest part for us...
