Shoved to Them
We have had a fun week this week of tossing back and forth names for our sweet #7. To be honest about it, I’ve been tossing out names and my husband has been rejecting them all, but it’s fun to think of them.
When I hear something I like or think might work, I send him a quick text or email and say “How about….?” Which has either been met with stunned silence over how much he dislikes my suggestion or he calls me laughing and says “Would you be serious about this, please?”
Here are some of the rejects:
Josephine Elisabeth (after grandparents) and we would call her Josie
Astrid Elisabeth (after her grandmother and the name that keeps coming to me when I pray about it)
Mary Isidore (Okay, this one started out as a joke but grew on me. St Isidore is the patron saint of the internet and computer guys)
Judith Marie (Do I even have to explain how much I love Judith in the Bible? LOVE HER!)
I’m trying really hard to stay away from the current Catholic big family favorites of Gianna, Lucy, and Kateri. I like them all but truly know so many girls with these names.
So, help me out here. I’m running out of ideas and he’s not suggesting anything. Internets, what would you name a little Catholic girl? We like off-beat and a little quirky (Did you see Astrid up there?) but with a good saint to go with it. I’m taking suggestions here. What do you got?
