LET'S START WITH SOME HISTORY FIRST SO YOU CAN UNDERSTAND WHY WE NEED YOUR HELP :)!!

David and I always like to have two baby names for each sex prior to finding out if our precious bundle is a boy or girl. It is just something fun we like to do, and challenging. We not only pick names that don't or can't have nick names made out of them (personal preference), but we are very interested in the meanings and feel they hold a lot of weight in deciding the final name. However, we do take two names in the birthing room usually with one particular being the main name. We always like to look at the baby and see if the name fits and it usually does. We like to have a back up name though just in case.

In the story about naming Noah we had originally decided on naming him Jaron. A couple weeks prior to the birth I really felt like God said to name him Noah. David was very adamant about not changing the name because we had called him Jaron since finding out his sex (prior to finding out the sex I was convinced he was a girl so I called him Olivia, yikes!!). Anyway, I told David that we should go in with both names and take a look at him and I bet him he would look like a Noah. So after he was born while the nurses were cleaning him up I asked David is he a Noah or a Jaron? He said definitely a Noah! :) So there is where the tradition started.

All that being said David and I are having a really hard time deciding on names or finding ones we like. We have picked one girls name and are leaning towards a second, but would love to hear of ideas you might have. We need help being creative and not picking names that are common.

Our first choice for a girl is Lily Annalynn (annalynn is our mother's middle names put together with an "a" in the middle)

The second girls name we are leaning towards, but are definitely not sold on is Hannah. We don't have a middle name picked out yet.

It will be fun to hear your ideas. Please help us!!
