Ok so Joe and I have not talked about names for this little girl for a while on Sunday we started talking about it and we both don't really want to name her a K name I had laid in bed the night before thinking and worrying about it because I was thinking I know we will have more kids and if we have a boy we have a few names we like one of them is actually a K name but the others aren't and the one Joe would like the most is not a K name so we know not all our kids will have K names so it shouldn't be that big of a deal, but then I thought well what if by chance this is our last girl I know that isn't likely for us considering our record but I knew before I had this girl that there was atleast one more girl up there, we want a few more kids but what if this is the last girl though and she is not a K name and all three of her older sisters are, will that make her feel bad even if she has brothers that are not K names, I know this is silly but I was worried about it, so as Joe and I were talking I asked him do you think it is a big deal if we don't name her a K name and he didn't think so at all especially if atleast one or two of our other kids are not K names and then I said to him "well how would you feel if your oldest brother started with a D Dave and then your other brother started with a D Daryl and then your other brother started with a D Daniel and then yours was the only one to start with a J" and then he totally started snickering and then I got it, I thought to myself, that is all the brothers you have and they all start with a D except for you and we just laughed I can't believe I did that. Well it hasn't bothered him at all obviously since I never even realized that was the case for him, granted he has sisters with names that start with P, A, and J.
So I guess we will probably go away from the K which I am excited about I don't really love any other K names I have heard so far enough to name her that but I just don't want her to feel bad.
What do you guys think???

All of our kids have their own initial. J,P,B,C,A I'm a little OCD in that dept. I don't know why but I am. Good luck with the name game!

Three of my brothers have C names, and one of them has a J name, and I don't think Jason has ever felt left out or anything. You get your name and it's your identity. I think she wouldn't even notice for several years and when she does it won't matter because her name is her name. Does that make sense? Especially if you tell her that you liked her name so much that you couldn't stick with K. It might make her feel special.
My two girls are Abigail and Anita. We didn't specifically plan it that way, we just liked those two names. I don't like that their names start with the same letter! I am constantly mixing up their names and it makes me sound like a mom who doesn't even know her kids' names. I will not name another child an A name. Also, I think you should ask Amethyst. She is the only daughter with a different beginning to her name. She has a specific reason, though, so maybe it's different.
I find for me each of my kids' names just seemed to "fit" when I was carrying them. I went off of what we liked and what felt right. You will know what her name should be when you feel it's right. I wouldn't worry so much about the K at the beginning. Just find what you both like and one of them will feel good!
you could give her a k middle name! :) haha I know the issues with names. It's hard to come up with ones you like. I think if you just have special name for a reason they will not feel left out. Actually in our family it's devin, daniel, David (is actually his first name) and Stefan..I don't think he feels left out he was named for a king in denmark..and for grandpa davidson (Lenold is his middle name..) goodluck to you I'm excited to see what you come up with.
BTW we saw your parents recently and it was so much fun. It sure reminded me of the good ole days..I also say some of your freeman fam which was nice!
McCall and I have picked out 6 names that start with "x" and only ONE that starts with "q" so we understand the dilemma. Wish we could help but we're in the same boat ourselves!
Your baby will be so stinking cute you could name her anything and she could pull it off! I was a little worried about our boy name this time, not the first letter, but our boys are Ryker and Cooper...both ending in ER and then if this baby is a boy it's jackson. I think you'll know when the name fits her and the K thing won't even matter!
I say break from the K names...if you're going to have more than 5 (which btw, you're insane for doing! haha!) then I don't see the big deal. I have a brother who has 4 girls with K names and then the last two are M names...so now big deal. They didn't plan it that way either, they just liked the names they picked and they happened to start with Ks...good luck in baby naming, such a fun thing!
LOL...I was just reading Daryl and McCall's comment above - they are so silly :) Anyway, I LOVE this story Deb! Its SO something I would do haha! We must be sisters or something ;)
