Jacob was naturally concerned that Bea was coming down with something. Even after doctoring her for a few days, he didn't really think about pregnancy since the flu had been going around, but since it seemed to be a "morning" version of the flu, he encouraged Bea to go to the doctor. While he didn't really feel they were prepared for a baby, he was secretly excited as he finished his rounds at the hospital and waited for Bea to come home from the doctor.

(Jake's parents are thrilled with the non-religious holiday rule, especially since they love the 4th of July!)

(they are in Ireland...)

Bea, on the other hand, was nervous. They hadn't planned on getting pregnant so soon. But of course she was excited after a pep talk from her husband. They decided to tell the family by...

(a few name suggestions please, let's make one big list then narrow it)
Arthur
Eleanor
Phillipa
Rosemary
Maayan

(Ack! Mental lapse! No 4th of July!)

They decided to tell the family by getting grandma and grandpa shirts for their parents. Since this is the first grandchild on both sides, this was sure to give it away. At first the future grandparents thought it was a mistake, but quickly rejoiced at the news.

Names

Arthur - love
Eleanor - love
Phillipa - like
Rosemary - like/love (I go back and forth with this one)
Maayan - not sure

Jacob William
Benjamin Charles
Joel Martin
Elias Sebastian
Ezra
Nora Caroline
Lena Frances
Cora Genevieve
Amelia Claire

For some reason I think in combos...

The names must be at least 6 letters long.

That narrows it to
Arthur
Eleanor (Nora or Ella)
Phillipa (Pippa or Pippy)
Rosemary (Rosie or Molly)
Maayan
William (Will or Liam)
Benjamin (Ben)
Charles (Charlie)
Martin
Sebastian
Caroline
Frances
Genevieve (Genna or Evie)
Amelia
Claire

The names I don't like must be thrown out

That narrows it to
Arthur
Eleanor (Nora or Ella)
Phillipa (Pippa or Pippy)
Rosemary (Rosie or Molly)
Maayan
William (Will or Liam)
Benjamin (Ben)
Charles (Charlie)
Sebastian
Genevieve (Genna or Evie)
Claire- unsure
Caroline- unsure

The names you aren't sure about must be thrown out

That narrows it to
Arthur
Eleanor (Nora or Ella)
William (Will or Liam)
Benjamin (Ben)
Charles (Charlie)
Sebastian
Genevieve (Genna or Evie)

The ones I love
Arthur
Eleanor (Nora or Ella)

The ones I like
William (Will or Liam)- best from your list
Benjamin (Ben)
Charles (Charlie)
Sebastian
Genevieve- best from your list

So our top four are
1. Arthur Jacob
2. Eleanor Adina or Eleanor Maayan
3. Genevieve Adina or Genevieve Maayan
4. William Jacob

The middle name Jacob is after you, The middle names Maayan & Adina is after my grandmothers.

I like all four names but I think my favorites at this point are Arthur Jacob and Eleanor (I'll let you pick the middle name, as I like both with it). Then we can hold off on the other two until later.
