Deciding on a Name

Even though Teagan is already 6 1/2 weeks old, I wanted to blog about how we decided on her name because I was afraid I would forget.  Once we found out we were having a girl we started coming up with names that we both liked.  Nick and I really couldn't decide on a name that we both liked.  Some of my favorites were: Makenna, Teagan, Francesca "Frankie", and Bailey.  Nick's favorites were: Katelyn, Ashley and Lauren.  So one night I did a google search for baby girl names, and on one of the sites I saw the name Teagan.  I brought the name up to Nick and he said he liked it.  Then as time got closer to Teagan's arrival, I started liking the name Makenna.  And whenever I would bring it up Nick would say that he really liked Teagan or Katelyn and he thought we already decided on Teagan.  So then I kind of told myself that if she came out with dark hair and dark skin like Jack had she would be a Makenna, and if she was lighter she would be Teagan....but I still really wanted Makenna.  So after I came out of recovery and I finally got to meet my little peanut, I was shocked at how much lighter she was then Jack.  And we had so many visitors the day she was born that Nick and I didn't even get a chance to talk about a name.  But for some reason she just didn't look like a Makenna to me. I kept tossing around the names all afternoon, and I actually said that we were going to call her Makenna for one hour to see if it stuck. And finally around 6:00 pm, it just hit me, she was not a Makenna, she definitely looked like a Teagan.  So we told the nurse to do the paperwork for her name before I changed my mind.  And now I cannot see her with the name Makenna at all, she is definitely our little Teagan.
