Name that baby....

OK, here's your challenge. Down there is an admittedly awful picture of the girl (Well, OK, the pic is of me... not the best from the shower tonight, but it'll hafta do).



Now that you've "seen" her, you have to help name her. Her middle name is Melinda... her last name is something like VanSteinwalkenheimerwagonerer... or maybe even longer. So....... given her middle and last names (unfortunately non-negotiable), what should her first name be??

I know that a few of you have been tossing around ideas. I promise I won't be offended (but I might let out a guffaw or two)... I want to hear your suggestions. ALL your suggestions. Really, I do. And if anyone picks the name we've been leaning toward, I might even fess up.

I think you should name her Amy. That way you can combine her first and middle names and call her Amylinda...that's what I would do.

Anna
Grace
Elena
Laura
Megan
Maggie
Sophia
Kate

I was gonna say Belinda too.
Or Rachel is lovely.

I have always loved the name Sam - had a doll named Sam, if I recall - so we named our female dog Sam.

But .. uh... I know that sounded odd... nevermind....

I'm blank for anymore.

Keep 'em coming... :-D

So far I've seen my middle name, the second girl's middle name, and the first name of our 3rd girl.

Bart.... maybe that's what we'll call the stuffed cow.

... i honestly have no idea. I suck at naming things. Ask Coart... he'll give ya something witty & sarcastic.

I do like the name Cherith, though.

Those Dutch last names are always so terribly long. Pick a short first name to give her a shot at spelling one of her names before she is 10. Also, schoolmates always shorten names by middle school anyway. Maybe just go with Bob.
