Names

People always ask what names I have chosen for the baby. To be honest, I just started thinking about the subject. I actually had a list started a year ago - something to keep around for when the time came. Is that very female of me?

My husband and I were walking today and settled on the strongest possibility for a girl's name. I've been warned by some not to tell people the name until the baby is born. You can share the sex, sure - but the name, no way. It still surprises me to consider this, but I guess it is very commonplace for people to share their displeasure with a name before the child is actually born. I would never consider sharing my opinion with someone. I suppose I am seeing the reality and benefit of it. My husband has already stated that you can't name the baby until it is born - what if it doesn't look like it's name? Good thought.

So in the meantime - till we make a final decision on what to share - it shall remain Heroditus.
