we have two frontrunners for first names, one is DH's preference, one is mine. for mn, Kathleen is DH's grandma and aunt (and the only family name that isn't awful lol). I just like the name Grace, no particular meaning there and i'm actually wondering if it's too common as a mn. Other mn suggestions for either name are welcome too![Poll]
Re: girl name poll
i'm the one that prefers Leah. i'm somewhat ambivalent about the mn. i like ther idea of using a family name but not completely in love with Kathleen.
We know a little Leah Kathleen who is precious, makes the name even more adorable.
I do agree with you though that Grace is such a filler mn, it's so expected IMO (pretty though). I'd choose something with a little more spunk.
I am a runner, knitter, scientist, DE-IVF veteran, and stage III colon cancer survivor.
I wanted my DD to be Leah Grace SO badly but DH chose her MN so I went along with it since I basically said, when I found out she was a girl, "Okay, so it's Leah, then."
I've gotten many compliments on the name Leah!
