TEAM PINK!!!
Little Gabrielle is on her way!
We are so ecstatic!!!
We don't have a middle name yet. I had a Hawaiian name that I really love, but since it is a Japanese tradition (at least in my DH's family) to give their child a Japanese middle name, we will instead do that.
Here are our choices so far:
Emiko- blessed, beautiful child ("ko" means child) or just Emi
Masae- elegance/ beautiful (after my DH's cousin who passed away years ago, he was closed to her)
Kohana - little flower (sounds a little bit like Hawaiian, which I love)
Runi- little bunny j/k!!!
What do you guys think?
Re: We are joining...
OMG! ?I thought for sure you were having a boy for some reason. ?Congrats, J! ?I am so happy for you.
Love the name you chose. ?I like Emiko for a mn. ?:)?
After 2 rounds of IVF & 2 rounds of FET, we were blessed with identical twin girls!
Thanks, Becki! Do you have a preference for middle name?
That's exactly how I feel about those 2 names!
I thought you were going to have a boy too!
I really like Emiko bc of the meaning
I like the meaning of Emiko (my god daughter has the same middle name!), but since her first name has a religious meaning to it, then my vote is for Kohana.
Yey!! so much for the pattern
I love the names. Gabrielle was one of my top choices but DH didn't like it.
I really like all of the middle names. That's going to be a tough one to decide.?
a vagina WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE (really is baby sushi) he he
I'm so happy for you J. I have to think about the names for a bit before I can choose a favorite. I kinda like them all.
OMG I'M SO HAPPY FOR YOU!!!! EEEEEE heheheheeee!
I love Kohana and Emiko, I say you can't go wrong with either of them
Yippe for Team Pink
Yay a girl!!!!
I like Kohana, I like how it sounds with Gabrielle
^this^
so happy for you!!!
Congratulations! One for more team pink! Yay!!
I like all 3 middle names...maybe you can use all 3? We gave Sarah 2 middle names...
LOL! My DH announced to his friends last night that our baby does not have a penis, so she is a girl. I thought that was also funny.
Yay for team pink! Congratulations. I thought you were having a boy too based on your dreams. But little girls rock!
I like Kohana best too. And I agree...you are the one carrying her...you should at least get to pick the middle name.
GIRLS EVERYWHERE!!!
I like Emiko best, but Kohana does sound good with Gabrielle. I love Japanese names. Miyazaki was on my middle name list for a boy. And neither one of us is Japanese!
that's how i got the final vote on joaquins middle name?
Sad, but I don't even know Joaquins middle name. What is it?
it's not sad, I never posted it. it's my last name and with all the weirdos we been having lately I didn't want that much info out there.?
WOO WOO!!! Congrats!!! That's so awesome!!
I vote for Kohana, because it goes with Gabriella really well and its Japanese and sounds Hawaiian.
