If we name her, she will come.

I believe that since we have yet to agree or even decide on a name, our daughter does not want to be born.
here is my last attempt to be inspired by a fresh name

I realize I am the worst about this and no one wants to help me anymore, nor do I deserve it. But...if you are up for a challenge,
Here are the rules:

the name should probably start with "J"
no gender neutral names
no names popular from the years of 1985-1995 (these are Dan's favorites)
the name should be her own, not Michelle Jr.
Classic but not blah, not too trendy, not overly used, but not made up.

good luck with that.

Janice. Then she could date my nephew Chandler and we'd be golden.

Justine, Jasmine, Jaden, Joelle, Jannah, Johannah, to name a few...But I do not think that she is waiting for a name. When you see her little face that is when you will know what to name her.Why does it have to be a "J" name?

Okay, I have three... One of them may be considered "in left field" but I swear, there is a the cutest little girl at my church and her name is Jubilee... kind of goes with Joy... my personal favorites are Jeslyn (sounds kind of funny with Dieleman though?) and then there is my very favorite... Josie (but I don't know what era this was popular in)! Good luck!

Julia, Jayne, Jayden is cute..I don't really know...but out of the ones I've heard I like those the best..Jubilee is definately different...but could be cute...I do agree with Kristy...once you see her...I think you'll have an idea of what to name her....

Well, since we are staying away from J and K names, I have not looked at these much...

I do like Jillian, might be too much N with your last name, though?

Jamie...cause it is really cool.

Jovanna (too Spanish?), Jolie (too Angelina?), Julianne, Janae, Jalynn (same thing with last name?), Jiselle (too Bundchen?)

I am the fussiest of all- I think of every scenario possible as to why it is the wrong name...with our last name that limits quite a bit. See now why WE are having problems?
J's are hard BTW!

Sure was a nice treat to see you today!
Love and hugs to you -

chelle-

i can't believe no one else has mentioned the obvious! honor your mother and name her judy! my personal favorite j name is jocelyn. it is a name that will go from baby to adulthood. i think it is classy but different without being too wierd. just my opinion; take it for what it's worth!

Michelle Of course my choice would be JOAN (Gracious gift of God) Of course this was my all time favorite for my first-born daughter. Best of everything and may God bless you with a healthy little girl. Love Grandma Z.
