Those of you following our tongue-in-cheek naming saga might be interested in the results of the Normal Mormon Husbands poll administered on our behalf. After 245 votes, the results are as follows:
Sarah Kate: 72 votes (29%)
Alexis Paige: 64 votes (26%)
Autumn Taylor: 50 votes (20%)
Lindsey Nicole: 32 votes (13%)
Allison Kennedy: 28 votes (11%)
We appreciate your participation in his humorous exercise! The Garry-Heidi naming jury is still out and probably will be until Little Miss makes her grand entrance. For now, Garry is still pushing Shyloh (it helps his cause that Gavin can sort of say it), Tyler votes for Lindsey, Zachary likes Sarah, and I favor different names on different days. My current favorite is Kate.
I keep having doubts, however, that this baby is actually a girl. I'll believe it when I see it. Until that happens, I think I need to have a boy name in my back pocket.

good idea. my little bro. jason was supposed to be a 9 lb girl but was actually an 11Lb. 14oz. chunk of a boy. haha. but your little one will be a girl and a dang cute one at that! You are DUE a girl!:)
Spencer didn't have a name until after he was born. I kept telling Jen that we couldn't name him Rusty until we knew he had red hair. She didn't appreciate me humor much, but he still didn't have a name until she filled out the birth certificate while I had run home to shower and change quickly... Not quickly enough. Just kidding, we had about decided on Spencer but not what the W would stand for. So she picked while I was gone. Days before cell phones and all.
I didn't vote, but my 1st girl is Sarah katherine and our 2nd is Kate Elizabeth. Can you guess which I would have voted for?
I voted for Sarah Kate! :) But I love Kate too.
Naming is soooooooo hard. I love names, but choosing a name for your actual child in conjunction with another opinionated adult is a whole different ball game. You have my sympathy and my envy all at once!
I love Sarah and Kate. Good luck on name picking.
As much as the name of your little girl ISN'T my decision, I still voted (for Lindsey, I think, but only because I had to choose - I think all the names in the poll are cute).
I'm of the mindset that you shouldn't have to GROW to love your child's name - you should be able to smile every time you think of it from now until her birth.
Just my two cents.
The name game is so fun, and so stressful all at once! You crack me up! I would be the same way if someone ever told me I was having a girl, but I am sure you can rest easy, if it's there, it's there, if not...you've got yourself a girl!
Heidi,
I read that guys' blog on your family. He is hilarious! A GIRL after 3 boys, that gives me hope. I have 2 other friends who have 3 girls and are pregnant with their 4th girl, so they really didn't help me in thinking that I had a chance. So glad to catch up. Congrats!

Well, I love the name Kate. Obviously with my Katie. We named her Kate Lynn. Compromised. I wanted to name her Katelynn Reece and Cline didn't like the name Katelynn. So we broke it up into two names and we are both happy. She was going to be called Katie no matter what. Of course I'm partial to Allison too. Ha Ha:0) Both great names if you asked me. I'm so excited for you guys. Love hearing about your sweet family. Take care, Alli
Jenna would have been a Kate if I hadn't already gave it away to my sister. She had a girl before Jason was born and at that point I figured I would never get a girl.
Whatever name you choose...just make sure it rolls off your tongue for when she has changed her clothes for the up-teenth time in a one-hour period.
