No, sweetie, we are not going to name you "Ducky".

M and I went up to visit family today without telling anyone we were coming. That went over well. It's not technically our Sunday, but we've missed a couple due to me being sick and then the rib. It hurts to ride in a car. As expected, the rib got worse again today after four hours in the car, so I am just hoping we didn't make a big mistake. Anyway, while we were driving up there, we decided that we are ready to drop the no-tell policy on suggested names, and we told my family what our two top choices are. Right now, we're pretty sure that it will be one of these names, although one of the middle names (Grace) may be changed. The outcome of this poll will not necessarily be the name we choose. I will save all further commentary on the names and the reactions of my family until tomorrow, so as not to influence your vote. Oh, and you don't have to vote for the name you think is mine. Really! We're actually negotiating really well so it's not necessary.

Are you ready?

Okay, can I admit now that I was really hoping that the reason I started talking about using a friend's kid's name was in hopes that you would comment and tell me I was being ridiculous? *laugh* I honestly didn't see you minding because it's not like we spend a lot of real life time together ;), but I was just clearing the list of any objections I might have!

Our last name is Yayer, only in Swedish. (Think Erik Gustaf.) Just to avoid spelling it out, but I use the phoenetic spelling all the time here. I realized this morning that I should have mentioned that last night.

Ha! That's funny that you'd think I'd mind. Frankly I think Linnea is one of the top 5 names in Sweden right now, so you'll have a beautiful and original name in the US, and a very trendy one in Sweden. :-) You can tell I didn't care.

But with your last name, I'm going to have to go with Evelyn. The "ay" sound is the same in both names, too much "ay" I vote.

Good call. I forgot to take the last name into account (though I voted for Evelyn anyway) but I also thought how cute it would be to have Evie as a nickname.
