What's in a name?

So people have been wondering what names we have been thinking about. There are three names that we really like. Each one means a lot to us so we aren't sure what to choose yet.

We are also not sure if it will end up being one of these three so if you want to suggest names we are down with that too.

Considering that my(Tyler) parents decided months before I was born that I was to be Gavin, and after they saw me, they changed it to Tyler, it is kinda becoming hard to pick a name this early. A lot of me thinks that we will pick a name and when our little girl gets here we will want to pick something that was never on our minds yet. I like the 3 names we have so much now that I don't want to pick a name now cuz it will jinx whatever name we choose just because of the stigma I have given it.

The top 3 names right now for a girl are(in no particular order):

1. Malia
2. Dorothy
3. Tawny

Malia has always been one of my favorites and because I like it so much Melissa likes it. The added bonus is it's very close to Melissa's but not the same. the nicknames that come with it are mimi, lili, and lila - which are all very cute.

Dorothy is fun too because it kinda matches the current trend of older names like (emma, tucker, sawyer) and it also has sentimental value to Melissa because of a great aunt. it as well comes with great nicknames. Dotty, dot, polka dot.

Tawny we got from our next door neighbors. She is a 15 year old friend of ours that her and her sister are what we want our girls to grow up to be like and it is such a cute name that almost no children are named. the nicknames with this one are awesome too. wontawn, neenee

Since writing this blog 3 nights ago and since i haven't posted it yet, I also thought of sawyer for a girl(which i had previously only thought of as a boys name because of the show Lost). what do you think of the 4?
