I was supposed to be a Jennifer, but when my parents saw me, they went with Amanda instead.
I'm glad because I grew up in a small town with 5 Jennifers in my class. LOL
Happily Married since August 5, 2006
Going to TTC this fall.

| I always try and get my mom to tell me other names they considered for me.. but apparently... the first name they thought up (my dad actually named me).. is the one they went with... ggrreeaatt. My brother is Anthony Shane, but Mom was considering using Shawn Anthony.. I prefer Anthony Shane though... so good thing she went with that, it suits him. Brother #2 (I'm the only girl for now): his name is Demitrios William Jacques (French Last Name Here)..lol. It definately suits him. He was named after my step-fathers long-time friend who died before the baby was born.. Demitrios is the Greek version for 'Jimmy' ..and my step-father always called his friend 'Jimmy The Greek' ..since he was, in fact Greek. lol. It's still too sad.. Jimmy (Demitrios) was a right cool guy. Brother#3: his name is J.R. (Not Junior... the actual letters J and R) and then his last name. J.R. is what they call him, but his full name is John Ray (French Last Name Here) .. he was named after my step-father who is also John Ray. And the next baby on the way... my mommy should be finding out soon if it's a boy or a girl. (Yes my mom is still popping out babies...it's insane.. she swore after me and Anthony, NO MORE....) 2 babies later she's preggo again and due in Sept!

| I love telling this story... gives me goosebumps every time!! I was supposed to be named Lisa. But when I was born at the last minute my parents changed their minds and went with Jamie instead. 13 years later... My mom met the daughter that she had placed for adoption and not named. Her adoptive parents had named her ... Lisa.

I love telling this story... gives me goosebumps every time!! I was supposed to be named Lisa. But when I was born at the last minute my parents changed their minds and went with Jamie instead. 13 years later... My mom met the daughter that she had placed for adoption and not named. Her adoptive parents had named her ... Lisa. Oooh, that gave me goosebumps too! We've decided on a few names, and we have a definite favorite for each a boy and a girl. I'm set on not choosing one until we see the baby though, and know if it fits. DH doesn't quite get it though - he keeps asking how we'd know whether the baby looked like a particular name or not. I don't really know myself, but I've heard enough people say something similar that I figure we'll just know. LOL - or we won't, and we'll go with our favorite name anyway! A couple of the PPs mentioned spelling - my mom's name is Debora, which is a relatively unusually spelling. She's had many people try to pronounce it de-BOR-a, but it's pronounced the same as Deborah (or Debra). The only reason it's spelled the way that it is, is because my grampa didn't know that it was supposed to have an H on the end!
Married my love on October 20, 2007... expecting our baby boy in mid-October, 2008!
