DH & I Decided on a Name!

If any of you remember WAYYY back when DH and I first started talking about girl names, he really loved "Bella" or "Lucy Belle." I didn't care for Bella because of it's popularity, but he wanted an Italian name to go with our Italian last name. Lucy Belle didn't flow too well for me as a first and middle name because it sounded like Lucille Ball to me ... so we kept discussing....

About two months later, he suggested, Lucy Annabella. That way, she'd have a more formal first and middle name ... and he could still have his pet name "Lucy Belle" for her without it being too cutesy and sounding like Lucille Ball.

The minute he told me, I completely forgot about all of the arguing and frustration over the girl's name ... and I loved that he FINALLY suggested something. I don't mind if people think the middle name is too long ... my heart just melted when he suggested it and told me his reasoning. I love it. :)

What do you think?

Nice choice! I don't think that Annabella is "too long," at all, by the way - I think it's lovely. Congratulations!

Yay! Thanks! Definitely something different than the normal one or two syllable middle name. We were going to do a family name, but this name means a lot more to the two of us than we thought.
