I was amazed when I learned how much thought my wife put into the names


For our girls...

It had to go good with our last name.
It had to have good initials.
It had to work with her preferred middle names.
It had to not be used by a friend or relative.
It had to not be names from any people she didn't like (or from any bad kids she had while teaching).
It had to be a name that we would use all the time (no nicknames or using shorter version of names).
It preferably could be used for both a boy or a girl.
And of course we had to consider names that she had been thinking about for years.

My thought process was, did I like it, could I say it easily, could I spell it easily, and would the kid get teased for it.
