Is it just me, or is sifting through baby names the most contentious part of the entire pregnancy and childbirth processes?
Step 1: Create a little bundle of joy, whether naturally, or with a little help.
Step 2: Announce said creation of bundle of joy to family, friends, and colleagues..
Step 3: Create private list of favorite baby names, wait until partner is in a good mood, present preferred names in seductive and/or excited voice, proceed to debate the merits of your preferred list and the flaws in your partner’s list for 6 months.
YOU GUYS. Skip Step 3 and move straight to the list below. I have been hard at work creating a list of over one thousand baby names you’ll actually want to use for that beautiful newborn of yours.
Even better, we’ve given you the names in alphabetical order. That means that if you’re searching for that perfect “K” name for your little one (Oh, just me? We are already Kevin, Kristen, and Krista after all…), we’ve got the perfect setup for you to limit your search and find a name you’ll love.

so, is this just a list of random names you put together? just curious! 🙂 funny, you have all but 1 of my 4 kids names on it! one is in the opposite sex, but i was surprised that you had them on there because i like to think they’re pretty different!!
Haha yes, just a list of random names (aka, my wish list for when I have kiddos of my own in a few years). A lot of these are very unique, so don’t feel bad that you only really had 2 out of 4 🙂
