The Name Game!

Well, after a couple of weeks...well, months...of going back and forth on girl names, we finally have one!!! Claire Christine Sheheane will be her name and we are calling her Claire. It's hard to find something to go with Sheheane, but we thought "Claire Sheheane" just had a fun ring to it!I've always loved the name Claire and Chris did too, but he was also stuck on some other names. So we decided to look up the meaning behind all the names we liked and Chris' favorite name (which i won't mention in case it's a name you like!) meant "unlucky"!! Who wants their child's name to mean unlucky!! It was even that way on the christian website!! So Claire meant "Bright and Full of Life" and Christine meant "pure and follower of Christ". So we LOVED those two meanings put together. We also wanted to be able to use Chris in a name because my mom is named after her dad, I am named after my dad, and now Claire's middle name Christine will be after Chris! Her initials are also the same as Chris' initials, CCS. So there you go!! We were tired of using "baby girl" or it, her, etc. So last night we said "we've got to do this now!" So Claire it is! We love it and i hope you will too! Today I woke up with a big smile on my face just thinking about it! That was confirmation that we picked the right name!

I love it! Chad is now very concerned though because that is another "C" name in our Core Group. I guess we better start talking about all the "C" names we like so we will be prepared when we do get pregnant.
