Baby names

So, we haven’t finalized names or anything, considering we don’t know the gender and we have to see what this baby looks like.

But, we have some strong candidates.

Oliver Dee 

Dee is my dad’s middle name, Jerald Dee Johnson.

Dee is my grandpa’s name, Dee Taylor Johnson.

Oliver is my great grandpa’s name, Oliver David Johnson.

Oliver is my great great grandpa’s middle name, Benjamin Oliver Johnson.

Also, my great great grandpa on my grandma Johnson’s (Post) side is Oliver Speed.

I think it would be so cool for our *hypothetical* little man to be able to say he’s named after 4 generations of his grandpa’s on his Johnson side. There are more Oliver’s further back in the Johnson line, so it is very much a family name. My middle name is Deann, named after my grandpa Dee and grandma Ann, so he’d be named after me too.

If we have a girl…

We are thinking Elaina after Trevor’s mom and grandma. Trevor’s mom is Lisa Elaine, and his grandma is Elaine. We don’t love Elaine, but we do love Elaina!

For middle names, in Trevor’s families side we’ve found some pretty German names. My favorites are Mette, Sophie and Kirsteen (pronounced Ker-steen).

So we’re thinking about

Elaina Mette

Elaina Kirsteen

Elaina Sophie

We really want to use family names. I think it’s so special for kids to be named after their ancestors.

What do you think?

Love,
