More Name Talk...
Nothing else to ponder yet since we still have no idea on the boy or girl thing yet and frankly, I'm tired of talking about puking. (which had gotten better and better each day, thank goodness)
So, I remembered I also love the name Elise. Like, a WHOLE lot. The conundrum, as with Lucy and Caroline, is that it's the name of a neighbor's little girl already. She's Ben's age... so I'm thinking using it might be less of a big deal than if she had just HAD a baby and named her Elise. Anyway... just another name to throw into the mix. Might have to clear it with said neighbor just in case it makes our final list. I have loved that named since elementary school when there was a little girl a few grades behind me named Elise. It's also a derivation of Elizabeth, which is a family name I had wanted to incorporate somehow anyway...
So funny that going into this pregnancy, I thought we were completely set on names. This decision may be drawn out for awhile, I'm thinking. SO much harder than the other two times... why?!

I thought for sure that Simon was a Lucy and I fretted over whether it was okay to use the same name as a blog friend. LOL. I say, if you like the name, just use it-- even if your neighbors have used it. As long as it isn't a cousin or something, it's all good. They might not be your neighbors forever. ;-) I like all of your names by the way. Boys too! Obviously I'm partial to Emily & Lucy, but I think your choices are all great. Can't go wrong!
Eh, unless they are like best friends or cousins, like Katie said, use the name. I have always loved Elise too since I was younger and babysat a cute Elise. Funny now that you mention it b/c I forgot how much I liked it or it may have been a contender for one of my girls! Neighbors move, your baby will stay! :)
I agree - unless it was a CLOSE relative or a BEST friend...I would go with it. You never know if they will be your neighbor forever, but the name that you love will be your child's name forever!
