The Name Game

Choosing a name for our baby has been one of the most difficult things ever! Normally it takes me hours to decide on an outfit for the night and days to decide on a purchase, so you can imagine my hesitation in committing to a name. I've been on so many baby name sites and have been reading a baby name book to try to make up my mind. Our original list was about 20 names long, but one by one we whittled them down since they either didn't exactly seem right or one of us was against the name. Soo as of right now, I think we are 90% set on Macie Kate Miller. We're not sure about the spelling of Macie though--"Maycee" is really cute and different, but I worry it might be too different or hickish? "Macie" is also a strong front runner. I don't think we'll go with "Macy" because of the store Macy's, but gosh I just don't know! Maci seems a bit incomplete and looks like maxi, as in maxi pad. Lol...see what I mean? Kate was a little easier because I love the name and I feel like it will be neat for her to have a piece of my name in her name. We also really like the name Charlotte. It's so pretty and has a really southern sounding, I think. I really do love Charlotte, but we keep on calling her Macie, so it might just be meant to be Macie. Decisions, decisions!!! Thoughts? :)

In other news, my belly has seriously grown so much from last week to this week. It's insane! Up until last week, I still sort of looked bloated/beer bellyish, but this week I definitely look pregnant. It's crazy what a week can do-especially the 19 to 20 week change. Apparently, this week our little girl is the size of a banana. I don't really understand though because last week she was a small cantaloupe and those two seem so different to me. I'm having a hard time grasping the fruit analogy-lol! Plus it makes me hungry, which is also weird!

XOXO,
Katie

  1. Lol! I love you Katie! I feel like I'm reading something that I wrote when I read your writing. Same effect happens when I read BB's writing! Ha. Anyway, I LOVE Macie Kate. And my two favorite spellings (only b/c you asked our thoughts ;) ) are MACIE and MAYCEE. I think my favorite might be the "ie", but that could be b/c I sense that's your favorite. You can't go wrong; it's a PRECIOUS name. And I love Kate too. We have such similar taste!

  2. I love Macy and Macie, but you can't go wrong no matter how you spell it! I love Charlotte too. That name is actually on my list too, but I don't think it will make the cut. It would purely be because I love classy Charlotte York so much-haha!

  3. Picking a name is so fun! CeLee's favorite baby name site was nameberry.com. You can get lots of ideas from there!

  4. I love little M.K.M :)
    I really think it's such a cute name with a great ring to it.
    If I had to choose, I think I like "ie" the best.
