found out that we are expecting either a Wallace (Ace) Rocco or an Artemesia (Ari) Wallis, due 9/14/05---one day after our 7th wedding anniversary (FWIW--we all know babies dont use calendars)! (DD was due only 9 days before the anniversary of our elopement). DH is already referring to the baby as "ACE"--he's convinced this one is going to be a boy! he was right about Zia being a girl.
most of you are prolly aware that we are using the name Wallace/Wallis to honor my dear great uncle. i had sent him photos of my DD (he was smitten by her when we last saw him at my grandma's funeral last march) and he called my mom to tell her how thrilled he was that we sent a pic. i just hope that he's still around to meet his little namesake when s/he makes their debut!
Thank you all so much for your support. I especially appreciate the candorous feedback and the support for using names that fit our style---as well as the input on nicknames. we couldnt have decided without you all! THANK YOU!

Congratulations! I'm so glad you decided on Artemesia--I just fell in love with it, and I was so sad to see it left off one of your lists. If I remember correctly, Zia's middle is Lukas, so Wallis works well with that, too.
Wallace (Ace) is an adorable name. My great-grandfather's name is Wallace, and I've often thought of using it.
Great job! Let us know what you have!
