SUYL - Baby Names

I don't usually participate in Show us your Life over at Kelly's Korner but since I love baby names I thought I would this one time.

Baby Girl
Obviously we already have one beautiful little girl. Her name is Jayci Leigh. Her name is very family oriented, however that was not the original name we had picked out. Originally I had picked out Arabella Grace and then it went to Arabella Leigh. I love love the name Bella, always have but Jay wasn't the completely sold on Arabella. Well my aunt and I were pregnant at the same time and she had the girl name Jacie picked out and Jay and I both fell in love. So with a little modification and making it more like her daddy's name we chose Jayci. Leigh is also a family name. It is my cousin's, my aunt's, my step-mother's and my middle name and my granddad's first name was Lee so needless to say it had to continue. So that is how we came to the conclusion of Jayci Leigh.

Now for a future baby, if we have a girl it was going to be Bella Elizabeth. However, now my SIL, Cori, is pregnant now and they are naming their baby girl Isabella Grace. I know you can have two same names in one family but it's just kind of weird to me. So being the planner that I am Jay and I have been talking about different girl names. We have it narrowed down to Ava or Mia both with the middle name Elizabeth. I like Ava more and he likes Mia so I guess we will just have to wait and see. Oh and Elizabeth is my mother's middle name and I think it is just such a girlie but strong name. Oh and the first names have no family significance. I just like the names that end with the A sound at the end for girls.

Baby Boy
As for boy names we have gone through a ton of them. I can't even remember all of them we have been through. But I think the one we have settled Korbyn Rusden. Korbyn has no family significance but we both really like the name. Rusden on the other hand is a mixture of both of our dad's names. My dad's name is Rusty and Jay's dad's name is Dennis and combined we get Rusden.
OK well there are my baby/future baby names. Now if I can just keep people that I know from naming their kid's with the same name. Ha. Just kidding. I know I will have a beautiful niece that will fit the name Isabella perfectly!

Well I can assure you that we will not steal any of the names you have picked out now :) Not that they aren't all beautiful!

You are so funny...I like AVA better though!

I love the name Arabella. That was in my top 3 when we were pregnant with Adaleigh, but my husband didn't like it. I adore the name Ava and it goes so sweetly with Elizabeth.

Thanks for the blog comment. I'm following you now! :)
