VOTE NOW!

OK, so tonight we had a big vote (not that I think a 2 year old and a 4 year old should have the same say in naming the baby as say. . . ME) and we narrowed the named down to two finalists. So let me know what you think:

Amelia Elizabeth
or
Sadie Elizabeth
or
eta Sophie/Sophia Michelle for my mom (because you know, she did give birth to me, so I at least owe it to her to consider her name)

How about the name Sophia (Sophie) Michelle?

Sadie Elizabeth. It flows with Ellie and Nate.

And don't worry about it not sounding adult enough- Katie Couric is making bajillions off cutsie. ;)

cutesie? ;)

Kathleen -- I believe Sadie was MY name until I traded it to you for Amelia. Of course I didn't realize how fickle my husband was at the time.

And hmmmm, I wonder who suggested Sophie MICHELLE? Who oh who could it be? I'll throw it in the ring, mom.

Watch we'll come home from the hospital with a baby named Gertrude Mergatroid.

PS Thanks for all your opinions! I love hearing what everyone thinks.

I love Amelia. I also love Sadie. Crap, I'm no help at all.

If it does help though, Sadie was the name of a girl in a U2 song! When Mike and I were dating I said if I had a girl I would name her Sadie. I guess I forgot when I named Megan, Megan. ;)

You also didn't make it easy because both a's and s's look good on scrapbook pages. You DO get more a's in a package of letters though. How about something with Q? There are always a lot of Q's on the clearance tables. Something to think about. ;)

OK, now I'm rambling.....

I vote for Sadie.

Michelle said...

I'll be completely honest, Sadie sounds like a dog's name to me. :o

I love sophie/sophia

Maddy, I must take full credit for the new name suggestion. I think it would be great to honor your MOM with a namesake, and my grandmother McEwen's middle name was Sophia. The two just seem to go together. Luv, Cheryl

Maddy,
I am going to vote for Elizabeth. :)

Wishing you the best!

Maddy - I looooove the name Sadie. LOVE it! They are all beautiful (Sophia was actually on our list last time) but I really love Sadie.

Unknown said...

OK- I wasn't going to agree with an anonymous poster who added a totally different name to the hat, but since it's your mom, I can say I REALLY like Sophie Elizabeth the best. ;)

I like the Sophia/Sophie option.

Maddy said...

Oops! Gave credit for the name to the wrong person. The beautiful suggestion is from my Mother in Law. Sorry Cheryl :) Ellie likes Sophia the best, but she says it Snow-fia.

Unknown said...

Ohhhhhhhh I LOVE Amelia! Next would be Sophie. I like Sadie though too....hmmm, was that helpful!?

From Maddy's Mom -- I'm with Cheryl! I love Sophia Michelle! It's beautiful and it honors both of your exceptional Moms! And since Dad gave me his proxie he votes for Sophie too! But in the end we just want a happy beautiful baby girl, whatever her name may be! Love you all! Mom
