And her name is…

I like dots. Sorry. 
Can you believe it? We actually agreed on a name! Halle is short for HALLELUJAHwemight havefoundaname. (not really). 
Thank you for all the feedback on the other names. It was totally clear; there was an unclear consensus on the 4 listed, so we picked one my sweet Uncle D suggested. He is full of all sorts of great ideas.  My Dad had a couple … ideas of his own. Mind you he called weeman Chester or Winston for the first year of his life.
1. Kat-leen (after Kathleen, mommabird) In fact he claimed it was blasphemous I did not choose to grace either parent with a rename. Didn’t read that in my trusty ‘how to be daughter of the year’.
2. Gian-{insert any 2 syllable italian name here} Carla, Maria, etc. 
3. Lucy. After his name: Luciano. PASS! (still love the name Lucy, just not when thinking about a mini crazy italian)
Thanks Dad, but you have to learn to pronounce a new name. 
If she has Chad’s luscious black curls, we of course have a huge problem and might need to revisit Vivienne….but in the meantime I can hang up my name shopping coat (ahem, stop stalking baby boards) and rest assured we found a loved name for this little life that is making me all marshmellow like.
