So at this point, the loml and I have been engaged in the never ending task of considering baby names. I have this fear that we won't pick one in time and then after the baby is born, we'll wind up picking something that sounds good at the time, only to realize a week later that we were crazy.
So I've been making a few lists, disregarding the ones that appear to be trending popular (sorry Olivia), and sounding them out with other people to make sure that there isn't a personality type associated with them (for some reason, Catherine and all Kate-based type names seem to go very "Taming of the Shrew" if you know what I mean).
So after a few weeks of searching, I found it. and by it, I mean "IT"! The perfect name! Its classy, its international, and it has an edge! But.. I can't use it. Sad, really, so now I must release it and I now give it to you, the internet... In the hopes that someone else can benefit from the amazing-ness.
I present to you....(drum roll): Vegas!
Its spanish, meaning 'the meadows' or 'fertile plains', and yet will also offend your grandmother. What more could anyone ask for?

Congrats on picking out a name! I like it! :D
Aubs and I are having a really hard time choosing a name for our baby boy. We have a perfect girl name lined up and agreed upon, but when it comes to a boy something seems wrong with every name that comes up.
I'm sure we'll agree upon/choose one eventually, but it may not be until we're at the hospital.

just to clarify, for the sake of my mother and mother-in-law (the future offended grandmas), we are NOT naming the kid Vegas. I swear!

With a name like that you'll have to get him some gold teef.
