I am deciding to do an intro.
I'm Christy, I'm 22 and I'm pregnant with my first baby, who is due in mid-October. I haven't had my first ultrasound yet (I will on the 10th!), but my husband and I are going to find out the gender at a later u/s, and we are thinking about names right now.
So far, on the list, we have two names for each gender:
Boys: Asa Scott L the second (naming after my husband's dad)
OR
Michael Scott L
Girls: Eden Marie L
OR
Emmalynn Marie L
I like Asa and Eden, but my husband likes Michael and Emmalynn.
ETA: Oh! Also, I would like it if some of you ladies did intros! Please? Especially the person who has Rhett or Pearl as her name choices and has a picture of Pearl from Spongebob? (Sorry I can't remember your name!)
Re: Alright, I'll do one! =D

Me too. LOVE Eden though!
I really don't recommend naming your child Michael Scott. Watch The Office. The name's bascially synonymous with idiocy and ignorance in our culture. However, Michael is a much nicer name than Asa.
Eden by a mile. Though I'd consider a vote for Emmeline if you spelled it correctly.
Me too!
When I hear Michael and Emmaline together i think of the Holden family on Army wives.
I like Michael and Eden.
DX: PCOS/Recurrent losses/MTHFR mutation (compound hetero)
5 hysteroscopies/2 surgical
3 Inject IUIs = 2 m/c's and 1 BFN
IVF #1= BFP. m/c at 7w6d. Needed 2 D&C's and scar tissue removal. Mild OHSS
IVF #2 = BFP. Severe OHSS. 4 Drainings. TWINS!
Ditto all of the others - I immediately thought of Michael Scott on The Office.
To all of you who automatically think of The Office:
I totally forgot to say that I know the connection and that I am totally fine with it. I watched The Office when it was still good, and I love Steve Carell and I count it as a bonus.
Also, Scott would be his middle name (after my husband's, my FIL's, and my FIL's father's middle names. It's a tradition), and we would just call him Michael. But I do like Asa more than Michael.
I love a good TWSS!
I'm going to vote for Asa, it seems refreshing to me, although I love Michael.
I prefer the name Emmaline Marie.
Haha this! I like the uniqueness of Asa & since you have a tie to the name it's a great way to use it. I also prefer Eden although it's NMS with the obvious biblical reference.

Diagnosed hypothyroidism.
Love Michael Scott (I am a huge Office fan)
Don't care for your girl names.
Agree.
TTC 10/11. IUI 2/12. BFP 3/8/12. 4/26/12 missed mc. RE consult 5/17/12. IVF #1 ER 7/13/12 53R, 41M ICSIed, 32F, 8 5d, 6 6d blasts - all PGD/frozen. PGD results 1 normal M and 1 normal F, 1 maybe M. FET 9/6, transferred 1 F embie. Beta 9/15 BFN. FET#2 planned for 11/2012 put off until 2013. Surprise BFP 11/21/12!! My son was born on 7/24/13!
I sort of like Asa. He was a bad guy on One Life to Live when I watched it in the late 90s.
Hmmm Eden seems alright to me. NMS but a nice name.
I actually like Asa and find it refreshing.
Michael is in essence a nice name, but I find it to be sooooo overdone.
I prefer Eden to Emmalynn.
ETA: Sure, I'll introduce myself. I'm Risa, 27 and a BNB addict for almost a year now! My husband and I have been married 2.5 years and are currently TTC our first.
Asa is horrific. Sorry.
Your husband's names are better.
