Baby names

ok, I'm totally obsessed with Baby names right now. I'm only 13 weeks and I won't find out for another month, so I should at least chill until I know what sex I'm dealing with.. but I can't stop. I look at lists of baby names constantly.

I think what started it was trying to find a name I could convince Tom to pick instead of Thomas Frank III. I started early cuz I figured I'd need all the help I could get. Well.. I think I've picked a boy name and I think he's on board, and TF III is definitely off the options, so I should be able to relax.. but I can't. It's just such a weird feeling. I knew we were going to name our first daughter Ainsley for almost 2 years before she was born. I just knew that's who she was going to be. I feel totally lost now.. like my baby is out there, floating around somewhere and I need to find out who he/she is.

I have a couple girls names I really like.. but of course Tom hates most of them. It's sad. For those of you who are interested enough to read my ramblings here's some names I've thought about..

Penelope - Tom hates it. Plus my sister has a dog named Penny.. so that would be a little weird.
Madeline - is it too I'm a little french school girl? No idea on Tom's opinion here.. probably hates it.
Sabrina - love this, hate that everyone's first thought is of the teenage witch.
Amelie - (pronounced like aww-mel-ee) A little worried about two A names in a row. Don't want to be the family that names all the kids the same first letter.
Adelaide - again with the A, plus my cousin's little girl is called Addie for short and we spend a lot of time with them.. think it would be a bit weird. Plus every time I say it I start singing Guys and Dolls "Adelaide, Adelaide.. ever lovin' Adelaide.."
Eleanor - I loved the first time we started talking about names, and Tom vetoed then.
Fiona - I like this one.. I mostly think of one of my fave moody girl musicians, but most people I talk to think Shrek.
Emery - in the running, still mulling it over.. or what tom thinks.
Tamsen - just added this to the list today.. is Tamsen Christensen too many 'en's?
I also toyed with the name Lennon for a girl for about a week before deciding it was too much.


For boys.. well.. I wasn't going to tell, because I wanted to keep it from the people who might be still mad at me for refusing to continue the TF 'dynasty', but I'll trust you that read to not spread it around and cut me some slack.

I'm pretty sure we're going with Everett Thomas Christensen. I like it a lot. I think Ainsley and Everett go together really well. It's not too common, but it doesn't sound made up. I can call him Ev Evers or even Rett (if I give a damn.. hehe) But probably mostly Everett. I think Tom likes it. His only complaint is he thinks its too long. But almost all the names I like are long. I think a name should be substantial. Short is what nicknames are for.

Although I did just read the name Aston on a list and I think that's cute too. But again with the A's (I think I'm drawn to A names in some weird way).
Aston Thomas Christensen.. sounds good too. (See, I'm trying to keep a family name in there!) Ainsley and Aston.. is that too much?

Ok all my opinionated friends, let me have it! What do you like, hate or suggest from all that? :) Other names are always welcome.. like I said. I'm obsessed. :)

Thanks!
