Since we can't decide betweem Bridget or Blake- we've come up with an alternative: Blidget. Hope you like it!
Just kidding- we are still deciding and won't know until she arrives. But... I'm sure she'll always be known as "B" whether it's Blake or Bridget. We posted a poll on facebook for fun and the results were pretty much a tie- I did have lots of people say "well, is it a boy or girl? because that will make a difference!" Well it's a girl, so if we name her Blake I guess she will have a boys name.
Now, as a teacherI know the annoyances of parents naming children odd things and spelling names in ridiculous ways- I won't mention any specifics..... So, I should be more sensitive to this after looking at many class lists and wondering what in the heck parents were thinking. However,I don't think we will scar her for life by giving her a so-called-boys-name; they are definitely becoming more and more common these days. Besides, they always put "male" or "female" next to each child's name- a wonderful save for us teachers so we don't call "Joey" a he or "Tracy" a she on accident. She'll be so stinking cute anyway, it won't matter what we call her :)
This is for you to read someday B to laugh at how crazy your parents were....

We had the same concern with naming her Jadyn. We still occasionally have people wonder if she is a boy when we say her name (and they can't see her of course) but the name just fits her now and we love it! So just do what YOU TWO want :)
I think Blake is cute for a girl... I still REALLY want to name my girl (when we have one... I at least have to have one girl) Bobby, but Bob says no. I am still working on him. I liked the name before I knew Bob, it is not like I would be naming her after him. I am sure that Baby Blidget is going to be such a cutie pie!
You're getting closer to the big due date! I hope you are feeling good and getting lots of sleep =) It really doesn't matter what anyone else thinks about what you name "B" because you are her parents and after you start calling her by her name...you realize she is who she is... You will probably be laughing about the whole thing in a month or so, because she will be a beautiful baby girl and her name will just fit! I LOVE YOU and can't wait for B to get here so here and little Emma can play!
I LOVE Blake for a girl! and Im pretty sure that I am a fan of boys names for girls!!
