After 32 weeks of being sure of the name we had planned for if our little bundle is a little lady it was difficult to realize that we no longer felt like we could use it. Calling her Penelope didn't seem "right", we couldn't say that was her name without feeling strange about it. After a long talk we came to the conclusion that we wanted to be just as passionate about our daughters name as we were for the name Henry (our boy name).
And that was that! The hunt was on.
I am the type who searches endlessly until I find something, which worked well with Carters pregnancy. This time around my husband and I couldn't seem to get on the same page in regards to a name and my searching was stressful if anything. I remember the moment that he said "Well.. what about Henry" and my heart felt whole! How could he not spend a minute searching and just pull such a wonderful name out of thin air?
Yet again I found myself searching and throwing out ideas left in right in hopes that AJ would like something.. anything. He will openly admit that he is overly picky about girls names, he wants the name of his daughter to carry her far in life and be something he can fall in love with. So I made sure to stay patient as I knew how much this meant for him.
After searching and searching we were sitting at dinner one evening and yet again, out of thin air he does it again. Pulls out one of the most beautiful names I have ever heard, and again my heart became whole. That's it, that's her name.
If we meet our second little man he will be Henry Brian Paslay
And if we introduce our first sweet girl she will be named Colbie Anne Paslay
Out of many many guesses congrats to @becks162 for being the only one to guess her name correctly! While it is far from common I love me a good solid, strong name for a bold and beautiful little girl. "Boy" names for girls is most definitely something that you have to have a special taste for. So with that, I can't wait to see you sweet Henry or Colbie!
With less than eight weeks we have much left to do, but names are set in stone and we are one step closer to the rest of our lives.
