For weeks now, ever since I found out I was pregnant, we have been arguing about names. Phil isn't keen on my favorite girl name, Selah Marijke. He loves the first name, but the middle name isn't his favorite. He prefers a more "normal" sounding middle name, such as Rachel. But I don't think Selah Rachel really flows well.
Soooo we had a conversation via texting, while I was visiting my friends S and C, and it went like this:
Me: S and C like the name Selah Marijke!!
Phil: I guess that could grow on me. I like the spelling of the middle name
Me: Me too! It's so unique and beautiful.
Phil: Okay, if you really like it.
Me: Yaaaaaay!!!
Phil: But if it's a boy, I'm partial to Jeremy.
Me: Okay, I do love the meaning of the name Jeremy.
Phil: Me too.. what is it again?
Me: God will rise up.
Phil: That is awesome!!
Me: Why do you like the name Selah?
Phil: My reasons are three fold. 1. It's beautiful. 2. It's original. 3. I love the meaning.
So that was pretty much how we decided on the definite name of our unborn baby: It will either be Selah Marijke Bradfield or Jeremy O'Neil Bradfield
Yay! :)
So here's the thing, you hardly even think of the middle names of your kids as they grow. Once in a while I use all their name to talk to them, but really, it's just the first name that sticks the most. LOVE both of these names
