Randy and I have the exact opposite problem. We have two names picked out for our (hopefully) two boys, and we're still mulling over our girl name. (okay, so if you haven't noticed, we're in the "kids are still far off and just an ideal" mode...haha, but still) I've always found girl names more difficult. They always tend to sound so prissy or unoriginal. I dislike most English female names, and even most female names I've encountered in other languages, including Russian (which is my passion). Boys, on the other hand, are easy. Owen (boy number 1). Hayden. Dmitri (Mitya). Mikhail (Misha - boy number 2). I have a longer list, but the point has been made. haha. Regardless, best of luck with finding the second name -- and with finding out what brand of kid you're having in round two! :) haha. Randy and I have the exact opposite problem.
