My best friend is letting me name her third child!!!
I will probably never have children of my own, and she knows about my fascination with names and asked me if I wanted to name her child!! Of course, I accepted. I am honored!!
It's still too early to know the gender so right now I have a lot of options.
She has a boy named Benjamin Leigh
and a girl named Emmaleigh Iris Jade
Naturally, if the baby is a boy she wants the normal first and middle name. If it's a girl she will have three names.
She would also like the first name to be three or more syllables.
So far this is the list of names (just first names) I really like.
