Names

We've been talking since WAY before I got pregnant about what we would like to name our kids.  Even though I'm still not far along, we've already decided what we want to name our baby.

Boy: Noah Myles

Girl: Gabriella Alyse

Noah has always been a name that we've both loved.  We've never met a Noah before (no horror stories if you have please) so it's a name that comes without a judgement from us.  Miles was the middle name of one of Eric's school friends and he always thought it was a cool name.  When we were trying to come up with a middle name for Noah nothing sounded right.  Jokingly I suggested Nigel and it must have clicked something in Eric's brain because he kind of yelled, "Myles!"  I liked it.

As far as girl names, Eric and I have always loved the name Gabriella.  When we were considering names, we realized that although we know someone named Gabrielle, she is an amazing friend and I don't think I'd mind my daughter sharing her name.  Of course, we'll shorten it to Gabi.  Eric suggested Alyse and when I looked at the meaning I found that it came from Adelaide, which is what my middle name (Adealia) comes from.  It seemed to fit.

So there it is.  Our ideas on what we want to name our baby.  While we realize that it's possible we might change these names we're both pretty set on them.
