Playing the Name Game
I think I’ve mentioned it a few times but my new baby’s name isn’t exactly my favorite. My husband and older kids (five and three) started calling her Audrey Jane Wallace five months ago, even though she’s only five weeks old. They also gave her nicknames, Dree, AJ, RooRoo.
It’s not the name I would have chosen, but we’re stuck with it now (even though I still haven’t mailed in her birth certificate). She was Christened on Sunday so it’s pretty official.
I call her Baby.
My next female MC’s name is going to be Aislynn Grace or Charlotte. Watch for it.

Baby names are hard, I’ll give you that. Audrey is nice though, I automatically thought of Audrey Hepburn. That’s not a bad thing either.

I’ve got a cousin who’s married to an Audrey. Of course, aside from Audrey Hepburn, a great classy lady…. there’s also Audrey Two, from Little Shop of Horrors.

I like the name Audrey – it’ll suit her better when she’s older 🙂

My husband named our first kiddo, I liked it because he thought of it…not necessarily because I would have come up with it myself. I let him pick the middle name of kiddo number two, but I got dibs on the first name second time around.
I think you learn to love the name because you love the person it represents.

I wish it was as simple as doing a find and replace to change real life names too! It’s so easy when typing in Word. If they made it too simple, I might get addicted to changing my name. There are just so many cool names out there to try! 😉

My son’s middle name came about from a poker bet that went sour, so I am in no position to give you advice!

and just to make you laugh — the secret code I had to type in to get my last comment to post was moppy

I think Audrey is lovely! But I know what you mean. If I had my kids’ names to do over, I would definitely keep the first one, probably a variation of the second one, and possibly something else for the third… not a good feeling. I think Red Boot Pearl is right, though – you love the name because you love the person. And she sure is a cutie!
