A Too Teaser...
So as you know, the whole Baby Too secret thing is killing me. However, it IS getting easier... :)
But, I'll be away next week and pretty busy for the next two days before we leave. I probably won't be writing a whole lot, if at all, on this blog. SOooooo... I thought I'd leave you with a little teaser about Too's name.
I was going to make you do a big scavenger hunt through the Tale of a Baby Human archives, because actually, there is a post buried in there that contains one of our potential girl FULL names, though not put together into one.
But then I thought, you know what? I'll just throw you all a bone and tell you the middle names we have chosen:
Boy Baby Too's name: ___________________ Davis Graff.
Davis is a family name on my husband's side (his grandmother's last name and his mother's maiden name) and is actually one of Tom's middle names. (yes, he is one of those people with more than one... it's very annoying when it comes to applying for things like credit cards). At any rate, we try to use at least one family name in our childrens' names, and this one won out this time. I had pretty much ZIPPO selection from the male names on my side. This name was new to the list with this particular round of baby names. But if Too isn't a boy, we'll use it if Three is boy, I think. Our entire current boy name is pretty much set in stone. Btw, among the other available family name options? Kermit. No, I am not kidding. (no, it was never a possibility for us)
Girl Baby Too's name: _________________ Elizabeth Graff.
Elizabeth is one of my favorite girl names, a family name on both sides, and for those of you who have been with me since I was pregnant the first time, it was actually our middle name for Madeline (if Ben had been a girl) as well. We have since ditched Madeline, but have kept Elizabeth. Truthfully? I would LOVE to have used it as a first name, but it's my cousin's name AND every middle name I thought of for it started with "G", which would leave my child with the initials E.G.G. Seemed a bit cruel. Other names have come and gone, but this one has been on all of our baby name lists. And if Too isn't a girl, we'll be holding onto it to use if Three is a girl! Our first name could definitely change though...
So there you have it. 2/3 of Too's potential names... you'll NEVER get the first names though. (well except for one smartipants who emailed me months ago and remembered me saying I liked something a LONG time ago) So there's still plenty of surprise left. ;) Feel free to guess your little hearts out though. ;)

I love Elizabeth too! That was one of the names we were considering for Claire. We would have called her Libby which seemed to gross some people out that I mentioned it to...
K, that's the goal! ;) no, but seriously, he nixed douglas... that's actually the one I suggested. However, somewhat hypocritically, he won't let me name a child Aaron. How RUDE!
Apparently an Aaron with a mom named Erin is weird. But a child technically named Thomas with a father named Thomas is NOT weird.
Uh huh...and MY son, who bears the exact same name as his father, is NOT named after him. He's named for his GRANDfather. Testosterone causes some weird brain activity, I tell you!
