Adventures of Newlyweds in Kansas

So I started following a blog Kelly's Korner that asks questions that people in with blogs answer so I am doing my first one this week!  This week is:

Show Us Your LIfe - Your Kid's (or future kid's) names

While we don't plan on having any kids for quite some time I figured it'd be fun.  My husband has a pretty strange taste in names, I usually hope he is kidding but I don't think he is!  His favorites:  Anka, Wilhelm, Ludwig, and Dietlief.  I don't think he is going to get any of those...

This is what I like in a name:  I want them to be short, a long last name requires a short first!  Original, I generally like lower than top 100.  Easy to pronounce, I like original names that are easy enough where people can pronounce them.  For middle names I like family names.

Favorite girl name currently (bound to change before we have any kids):

Ada Rae- Rae is my sister's middle name and I like Ada because it is German (major bonus for the husband) and means "noble kind" or oldest daughter

Other names I like:  Bella (far too popular now because of Twilight, bummer), Lilly (also a bit too popular and close to my name), Kira, Shiloh (purely because I loved the book as a child!)

 

Boy names- I totally think I will have all girls but just incase!

I don't really have a favorite but will use a family middle name of possibly Edward, Wilhelm (or William) or something else tbd

First names I like:  Axel, Ezra, Kalen, Kyler, Jonah, Wyatt
