It has been brought to my attention by several people (my dad included- how does he know these things?!) that Angie Harmon (of Law and Order fame) and her NFL player husband Jason Sehorn have 2 girls- Finley and Avery- just like we do?! Yes, I am VERY aware of this. This was not done intentionally- in my defense, we had an Avery and a Finley before their Avery was born.... I am just saying. When I heard they were expecting again (which was also brought to my attention over and over again) I was bound and determined to wait to see what they named their new addition before we got too set on a name of our own. I just saw HERE that they welcomed baby girl #3 into the world today and her name is Emery Hope. So, just to clarify- we will NOT be naming our baby girl #3 Emery. It is a cute name, but we will be going with something else- I don't know what yet, but rest assured Emery is off our list. I was thinking seriously about Emerson, but I think that might be too close?!
Now, the serious contemplation and discussion can begin- suggestions welcome! I just have a few requirements- it can't start with the letters P, M, A, or F, I would prefer a name that doesn't end in y, and I would like to use Bailey (my maiden name) as her middle name. Any ideas?

Katherine (but a nick name would end in a "y" sound), I love the name Katherine...it's very proper sounding and it should belong to beautiful women, your girls fit in that description! :)
i love the name emerson! i also love the quinn for a girl. i could never use it though, because it's the name of a boy i dated up at Ricks College, even though it is such a neat name! i love that you have requirements already in place...someday i have to hear the reasons. :) p.s. christmas card is on it's way...we got yours and i love the layout!
Paul, how 'bout Rowan?
Thanks Kate! Any plugs for MY first name of choice (Rowan) may be in vain, but it is worth a shot! I have not convinced Paul yet, but we still have a few months!
I have a niece named Quinn, and I think that's pretty cute...I do like Rowan too. Paul will come around to it. :)
I do like Quinn- as Elisa and Brooke both mentioned, but we call Finley "Finn" a lot, and that might be a little too confusing. Thanks for the suggestions! Keep them coming! I will continue to petition for "Rowan."
That's funny, I saw that exact article about Angie Harmon and thought of you. I like Rowan too!
Good luck on the name, it's always so hard to decide.
Mary and I are still thinking but what about Kaitlin Bailey White?
Melissa,
The girl's name Tatum \t(a)-tum\ is of Old English origin, and its meaning is "Tata's homestead". Also possibly "light-hearted". Surname sometimes used as a girl's name, due to actress Tatum O'Neil.
Tatum is an uncommon female first name and a very popular surname (source: 1990 U.S. Census).
Just an idea!
Love, David and Mary
you have such nice names already. unique but not totally crazy. i like kerridan, hadley, emmalynn and rowan is adorable. good luck! My husband wanted to name my youngest (4 1/2) Merlin. The only other name we could agree on was Eli which unfortunately sounds a whole lot like my oldest Levi. I always say that it's better than merlin.
