Second thoughts, + Hawaiian names
For a while now, I've been having second thoughts about using Caitlin (Craig's must-have girls name), mainly because of the -lin ending clashes with the Win- beginning of the surname. I havent mentioned this to Craig because we havent talked about names in a while. However, now I am also having second thoughts about Miles (his must-use boys name). I like it, but word names have always gotten to me, and I guess it was just a matter of time before that caught up with me. We both like Lucas though, and he does like Miles Lucas as a combo, so wdty of Lucas Miles? Just as good? We like a lot of boy names, but he has always said "I will use Miles", so I'd like to find a compromise.
Also, wdyt of these Hawaiian names? Any of them you feel wouldnt work for whatever reason, any you love?Ailani (ah-ee-law-nee): High chief
