giving ds a part in the baby's naming?

I have this idea....dangerous I know:)
We have finally whittled down the girl names to Roan or Sinead.

I think it's a great idea. If you're happy with both names already, giving your ds an opportunity to participate is really nice. My oldest dd was really upset that I didn't name our 3yo the name she liked, and she was really unhappy about her sister's name for a long time (she also didn't like the meaning of the name -- she thought it applied to her own personality and the baby shouldn't be allowed it). I think if I'd been able to allow dd an opportunity to select from a pre-determined list of names, she would have enjoyed both the process more and her sister more. She wasn't that thrilled about being a big sister (she was 9yo at the time). What a nice mom you are!
