Have You Thought of Any Names?

The number one question we are getting these days, well, right behind when is the due date? And, yes, we have been thinking about some names. So, if you haven't heard, these are the names we are thinking about now (and might change a few more times in the next 7 months).

If the baby is a BOY...

Ethan Thomas is the front-runner.
This name is after Mark's late Grandpa Green, Edwin Thomas (Tommy, E.T.).
Ethan means "strong and firm" in Hebrew and Thomas is a family name in Mark's family.

other names we have considered are... John, Cole, Samuel, Luke, Jackson, Michael, Noah, Aiden, Caden, Caleb, Charles, and Carlton

If the baby is a GIRL...

Abigail Grace, Abigail Kate, Emma Grace, Grace Elizabeth, Catherine Grace ("Grace" or "Kate"), Hannah Kate, Hannah Elizabeth, Hannah Grace, Rebekah (Rebecca) Catherine ("Kate")

The names we are thinking about are therefore some combination of...

Emma
which means "universal"

Catherine/Kate
which means "pure" and is a family name (my name and my mom's)

Elizabeth
which means "consecrated to God" and is my name.

Rebekah/Rebecca
which means "captivating" and is my mother-in-law's name.

Hannah
which means "grace of God"

Abigail
which means "father’s joy"

and Grace which obviously means "grace" from God.
