We're about 70% sure it's a girl, but we had boy and girl names picked out just in case.

Girl:
First name: Adriana
Middle name: Purslane (Taken from A Love Song for Bobby Long, which is surprisingly different from the book it's based on.)

Boy:
First name: Lance
Middle name: Aron (Yes, spelled that way. Lance Aron is his deceased cousin's name.)

(S)he's due on the 16th. =D

I don't know much about A Love Song for Bobby Long, but I do know that Purslane is an a plant, usually considered a weed, but also used as an edible herb. Despite the "weed" association, it is a very pretty plant, with a red stem and tiny yellow flowers, in addition to small green leaves. I've never heard it as a name, but it could grow on me. Adriana isn't really my style, but it flows well as a first name with Purslane.

I love the family significance of your boy's name. It has such a special meaning. Aaron is one of my favorite boy names, so I love it as a middle name (Aron). It's like Elvis. :-)

We liked Purslane because it was different, but we didn't want her to be stuck with it as a first name. They discuss what Purslane is in the movie. Hopefully she'll get a kick out of it, one day.

Yeah, I thought it'd be nice to name the baby after him if it's a boy. Of course the first thing my 16 year old brother says is "OMG, the guy from *NSYNC?!". Ha.

Great choices. I love it when there is significance in the name choice!!!


I think Adriana (with the -ah sound pro.) is gorgeous!


Best wishes,
