Thanks for the validation, Alexandra. I think they're very nice, too. Who knew Eric had barizre taste in names. (Seriously, the name I found that he likes best is one that I've never even heard of anyone having. Bizarre.) I, in my insanity, have already moved on to the middle names for the non-existent children, as well as deciding which names go best together from our list. I have already decided the two choices for first child. And yet Eric hasn't had me committed yet, so we're okay.Very gutsy to put the name you like, Elycia. Don't worry, it's not on our list. You are free to have it, it's lovely.
