Hey Jenn,
I love Nicholas Patrick! Doesn't Raven sound a lot like your(and mine!) last name? I always loved Nicholas with our last name, but Jerry doesn't like Nick and he said that everyone will call him that!

I like Ariane, Adrianna and Kayla for a girl. Unfortunately my DH does not like any of the above, he likes Mia for a girl. Which is a great name but does not go at all with our last name!

For a boy we both agree on Christian for the first name. He would like Anthony for the middle name while I perfer Anders. I also like the name Carsten for a boy.

For us:
Katherine Mary(Kate) after my grandmother's
I also like Caroline(Carley)
Jeremiah Joseph after my DH

Up to now we like:

Francesca

Antonino

Kali - girl (pronounced kallie)
Nicholas - boy

pretty simple! i hope i dont have two of one sex...i dont know what to do after that!!

Shannon, yes, Raven DOES sound like our last name ~ waaaay too much!! Patrick says he's NOT raising a baby porn star!

You have to use Nicholas!! I think it would be so funny if we both had Nicholas ****'s!

Jenn,
That would be funny!! When Jerry was still w/the NYPD, one night is was dealing with this really drunk guy outside a bar, and the guy was saying that Jerry was harrassing him and he was going to file a complaint against him. He goes up to Jerry to read his name off his shield and he said, 'Ok, I got your name now Officer Raven!' Pretty funny huh? The guy couldn't even read, he was so drunk! I agree with Patrick, the name does sound kinda pornish!! I'll work on Jerry about Nicholas, I do like how that name sounds! Well, unlike you, we still have some time before we make this decision!!
Good luck!!

Oooh...JennRenee's post reminded me that I love the name Shannon too!!!

Shannon, OMG that's so funny!! Now I KNOW the names are too close!

I didn't realize Jerry left the NYPD. Where have I been??
What's he doing now?

Jenny, I also love the name Shannon, but my friend had to go and name her cat that and ruin it for me.

I must admit, I like how my name sounds with our last name
Jerry left the NYPD and is now in the FDNY academy...he's a traitor!!
Don't worry, you are probably going through the mommy memory loss thing that I hear happens when you're pregnant!!

OHHHHHHHHH! I do remember now!!
Best of luck to him!! Tell him to be careful!!!
