So today I reached the magical 12 week mark of pregnancy...
So around 6 months to come up with the perfect name for the little human being growing inside of me...
This is one of my favourite things, I really love researching and coming up with names, nothing too unusual or out there but meaningful and (in my mind) fit for this new special little being to walk around with for all of his/her days...
Our first child, we called Ivy Jewel. For a long time we were going to name her Eilley but changed our minds a couple of weeks before she was born as Ivy sounds similar, would not need to be constantly repeated and spelled when people asked her name and also is in memory of my late grandfather, Ivan. Jewel is because I bought an album of lullabys by Jewel Kilcher that I listened to continually towards the end of my pregnancy and continue to listen to it now. It is just so beautiful and relaxing... I also have loved Jewel's songs for a long time and think the name is lovely...
So we don't know if bub #2 is a boy or girl yet but one idea is to look at names relating to Autumn (as the baby will be born in May) examples are...
Autumn
Scarlet
Hazel
Ash (Ashton/Asher)
Hue (Hugh)
Hunter
I have loved Scarlet for the longest time and it is definitely on top of my girls list at the moment, I also like Lola at the moment as well. For some reason I find it a lot easier to come up with girl names than boy names...maybe this is a sign that bub#2 is another girl?? I don't mind either way but secretly I wouldn't mind another girl as I didn't have a sister (I did have three brothers though!!) and I would love for Ivy to have a sister to grow up with...
This post is just the start of the naming journey I'm interested and excited to see where it takes us and how many mind changes happen along the way!!
That's one of the most exciting parts about the whole thing, baby naming is such an exciting, connecting and creative. I love what you have so far. I am also smitten with your new blog :)
