Fun Idea for Choosing a Middle Name

So, my husband and I have decided on the baby's first name but we've had such a hard time choosing a middle.  Our problem was that we had too many names we liked!  So, we decided to pick like, 20 or so of our faves and assign them each to a day near or on the due date.  I'm due 1/31, so we started around 1/10 and went through 2/10 and gave each day a middle name.  Sometimes the date was significant (for example, if she's born on 2/2, Groundhog's Day, her middle name will be Willhelmina, after Bill Murray because I adore the movie Groundhog's Day, haha.)  If she's born on 2/1, it'll be Brigid, because we have a TON of Irish heritage between the two of us and that's the feast day of St. Brigid.

Anyway, it was such a fun activity, picking different names for different days, and it's also a fun way to make it seem like the baby is choosing her own middle name.  (Or fate is, anyway!)  :)  We had such a good time with the process, thought I'd share if anyone else is similarly stumped and wanted a fun solution.
