What's in a Name?

I am going crazy because there is SO much to do before this little girl gets here and we seem to keep getting distracted with other things that demand attention.  One thing that would make us both feel a lot better about our lack of preparation would be having a NAME!

Grant was practically named the day we found out he was a boy.  We were watching a Suns game, talking about how Grant Hill always seems to display such good character. One of us said we liked the name Grant, the other immediately agreed and we decided that would be it!

We feel like we struck gold with Grant's name because everything that's come up since then has only made us like the name more! Everyone we talked to seemed to have a different and positive association with it: 

Grant Hill...and Steve Nash-so sad! :(

Ulysses S. Grant (My brother Tanner's association)

Dr. Alan Grant from Jurassic Park
(Mike's brother Ryan's association)

Grant Allred (apparently one of Mike's ancestors we didn't know about), Grant Merrill (my Grandad's cousin and best friend), and of course,

Heber J. Grant

We're still discovering respectable Grants! We think it's a nice sounding name and love that's it's classic and not frequently used, and it means "great", which really couldn't be more fitting for our little Mr. Grant Man.

So Mike and I thought we were always going to be on the same page with names...not so!  Here's our list of potentials-let us know what you think! WE NEED HELP!

*Ellie-the only one we both seem to agree on. We like it because it means radiant or shining light. Plus...Up!

However, lately it seems like every time I mention it to someone they say they know someone who just named their little girl Ellie. As a girl born in the 80's named Ashley, I don't want to give her a name that 6 other girls in her class will have!

*Cecily-my Great-Grandpa's name is Cecil and he was the cutest, most humble man and an amazing example of the way to live life!  I've always wanted to name a girl after him BUT, Mike hates it.

I realize this picture is SUPER blurry
but it's perfect for how I remember him.
Always with a fedora and a vest.

He says I have final say and can override it but I'd like to have a name we can both be excited about.

*Sawyer-this one we both love but we're thinking maybe we should save it for our next boy.

*Audrey-I like, but not enough to be adamant about. I like Audrey Hepburn (I read her life story  the other day-it's pretty incredible!).

Plus it means noble and strong. Mike says it sounds like Aubrey, which makes him think of a fat girl for whatever reason. I kinda agree with that but...Audrey Hepburn!

*Brooklyn-One of the only suggestions Mike brought to the table...for some reason it's not sitting well with me, and Mike has already started to change his mind about it.

*Sarah-Really, Mike's only other suggestion. I feel like it's a little too plain (you know, Sarah Plain and Tall?). I do know some really awesome Sarah's though.

*Remington-we both LOVED this name before we had Grant and if he would've been a girl, we'd probably be calling her Remi. 

Now we are both picturing our youngest girl being named Remi, although there's no way to know when the youngest girl will be here...it's a predicament.

*Lilly, Adele, Paisley, Emily, Rowan, Lucy-all other options that haven't really stuck.

So the saga continues and we may be one of those couples who has their kid home for several days being called "the Baby". Wait, NO, I refuse!  We need to find a name!!  Give us your suggestions if you have them!

Once it's decided, we'll let everyone know. Then you all can help us find a middle name! ;)
