Do we have a contender?

For Cookie's name, that is. The answer: we just might!

Chris and I have been thinking long and hard about this lately. I knew it wouldn't be the easiest task, but it's proven to be even more difficult than I thought it would be.

There are lots of things to consider:

• does the name sound good with our last name?
• does the name sound good with and without the middle name?
• do the initials spell anything weird?
• do we want to incorporate family names?
• do we want to use 18 letters (a Jewish tradition for good luck; my parents did this for both my brother and me)
• how would nicknames sound with our last name?
• would the name be easy to make fun of on the playground?
• does it sound natural when we call the name out?
• would the name look professional at the top of a resume?

and so many more!

Whew. This name may not prove to be "it", but it's so nice to at least have one in the bag of possibilities!
