And I come in...That was a great name picking story. And I come in on the side of the Oliver lovers. It's a great name. I can't believe your mom hung up on you! Karsten and Diana went through at least two dozen names before they chose Lucy, and a few of the ones they proposed were, in my humble opinion, Not Good. I refrained from expressing an opinion out of fear that would push them in the direction of picking that very name. I was greatly relieved when Lucy was chosen. Oh, one more thing. Oliver is a bit old-fashioned, and old-fashioned names are very popular right now. You were on the cutting edge of a trend. :-)kristieinbchttp://journeynorthof49.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4736035637103377628.post-16786986200901083132013-12-10T03:57:56.000-08:002013-12-10T03:57:56.000-08:00Thank you, Kristie. I love love love the name Lucy...Thank you, Kristie. I love love love the name Lucy and had I not already had my grandmother's name picked out, Lucy would have been a top contender. Helen and Alice are other favorites. The old-fashioned names are lovely, aren't they? I think you were smart not to say anything negative. Good call! I have to say, I bristled when the other family member I didn't write about had plenty to say. I had to bite my tongue from telling her to if she wanted to veto names, she should think about getting a pet. Meow.Diananoreply@blogger.com
