Why is naming a child so difficult. I mean there are so many things to think about. First you have to have a first name that doesn't clash with your last name, then you have to pick a middle name as well. The first name shouldn't clash to hard with your other kids names. But most importantly your child's name isn't just the name they have when they are a newborn, it's for when they are 5, 14, 23, 45, 80. It's forever. Literally you are naming someone for the rest of their lives and you don't want them to hate it or have to change it. So here I am 7 weeks till I'm due and I have no names picked out. Hopefully I will get one soon.
