You would think I had something to talk about. I have been trying to think of various happenings, but there haven't been many going on.
In case you didn't know (but you probably do), if it's a girl the name will be Amaris and if it is a boy his name will be Onyn (Oh-nin).
I know they are both such great names.
You may be asking, "Jon and Jocelyn, how did you think of such great names?"
Our answer: "You would think many hours of discussion and reading various baby name books and thinking about the names we don't like. You would be wrong."
"If it wasn't that, then what was it?"
"The girl's name we thought up of ourselves. We literally made it up. We are that good."
"That's pretty ama--"
"We know."
"As I was saying, that is amazing. So how did you think of the boy's name?"
"Well first we thought let's pick out a normal name, like Matthew, Jonathan (Jr.), Paul, or even popular names like Wyatt, Caden, Sawyer, or something along that nature."
"All good names."
"Yeah so we thought. So we had pretty much decided to name is Austin Jordan in honor of Jocelyn's brothers, but then we realized that if we did name it that then Jordan would be jealous of Austin's name being first and vice versa."
"True."
"Finally we decided to go with Sawyer because it is popular and cool."
"So is that going to be the boy's name?"
"No."
"This suspense is too much"
"You should have been in our shoes, it was crazy. Finally, after a long discussion one day, Mom Rd (aka Nonni) said NO. No normal names, you must think of ORIGINAL names. I have the perfect name. We waited."
"Are you serious?"
"Yeah we waited for multiple days."
"No, I mean are you serious you are going to make me/us wait any longer for this ridiculously drawn out story."
"Yes, just a little bit...................................................................."
"Are you enjoying yourself?"
"Yes, we are. Finally, Nonni suggested only names with vowels, and we found the name ONYN (oh-nin)"
"Wow that is a strong name. It was worth the wait."
"Told you it would be."
"What does Onyn mean?"
"Strong or something like that. We weren't sure if we were going to like it, but Nonni assured us, 'It will grow on you and you will like it'"
um wow. jonathan is now becoming a fiction writer for Baby Magazine and has his own column. i think we currently have zero fans of the name "Onyn", which is fine, i think we're stuck on it-sorry. Amaris is a name I knew from a girl I went to college with for a semester. We chose it because it means "Promised by God", and is unique but not annoying (like Onyn appears to be!).

ReplyDeleteOnyn.... Not bad. It sounds like something from greek mythology.
