		<description>I have been checking your site here and there for updates on the Morrisons, and now you ask for names for your new baby.  I love names, and I already know my husband doesn't like many of my favorites, so I will share them with you, and hopefully your husband will like them! :)

Boys:

Caden - "fighter"
Carson - "Christian"
Christopher - "Christ-bearer"
Joaquin - "Raised by Yahweh"
Jordan - "To flow down"
Johan - "God is gracious"
Titus - "Giant"
Asher - "Blessed, happy"
Tobias - "God is good"
Michael - "Who is like God"
Breckin - "Freckled"
Justin - "Just, fair"
Nicholas John (my husband's name :) - "Victorious" and "God is gracious"

Girls:

Mikayla - "Who is like God"
Michelle - "Who is like God"
Tatum/Taytum - "Cheerful"
Rain - "Abundant blessings from above"
Raina - "Queen"
Charlize - Feminine form of Charles, "freedom"
Annika - "Gracious, merciful"
Ariana - "Very holy"
Summer - self-explanatory :) (maybe your baby is due in the summer?)
Elin/Elan - form of Ellen, "bright one" (pronounced "eee-lynn")
Esmeralda - "Emerald" (maybe the color of her eyes?)
Esperanza - "hope"
Eden - "paradise"
Jillian - "youthful"
Hannah - "grace"

Maybe you could name your future daughter Esperanza Hope or Hannah Grace?  Then her name would be Hope Hope or Grace Grace? :) j/k

Anyway, congrats, and thanks for asking our opinions!  Your pictures are always so beautiful and fun to look at!

		<description>I think Vicki is on to something, you should use both -
Frederic Cedric Hedrick!  I think that's going to top them all!

But a another good one would be Breck Ried - Freckled Redhead!  I mean that is pretty perfect too!  :-)   Cute!  I actually was just really hoping the other day that one of my children will have my freckles, I love them!  My mom always told me she wanted frekles and never got them but then I did!  (neither of my sisters had them like me).  Probablly her positive attitude made me like mine so much!

I guess I'm supposed to be giving you sugesstions though, not just commenting on other's comments!

It's hard, we're in our own 'name game' too - so I can't think much beyond our own choices...  I'll just tell you our three contendors -

Levi Joseph  (Joseph is Jason's dad's middle name and my fav bible character)

Mercedes Sarah Grace (after my sister Sarah of course, but all together this name means - Merciful Princess of Grace - what better name for a girl?)

Luciana Linda (Linda after Jason's mom, and Luci is light and I think of anna (but we pronounce it luci-AHNA) the worshiper in the NT, so it makes me think of a worshiper of light, kinda my own interpretation)

You guys did such a great job with your first name, I'm excited to hear your next one!!!</description>

		<description>Cedrick is money in the bank! Nice one, Vicki!

Davena, Daphne are quality choices.

But top of the list:
Elijah, Zeke, or Noah if it's a boy and Phoebe or Evelyn if it is a girl. :)</description>

		<description>Beth from Iowa... I LOVE that idea!! I've known others who also do that and I've always thought it was great!! For some reason when I was first researching these names for Noemi I was thinking her husband's name was Kevin (don't know why I was thinking that, I guess it was from another blog I read) and I was going to suggest Nevin, using her "N". I love combining the names and especially for middle names like you said.
I like the two names someone suggested above too: Arabella and Griffin!!
This is so much fun Noemi... thanks for letting us play along!</description>

		<description>Hi-

Congratulations!

Our daughter's name is Brenna (meaning-little raven/origin-Irish). Unique and Irish, as my husband is Irish. Her middle name is my maiden name, which I always wanted if I ever had a girl.

It was our third child. Our first 2 are boys and assuming we were having another boy we had a boy named picked out and then went and had our ultra sound. 

Keep the blogs coming-they are great!</description>

		<description>I also love the name Isabella. It has been the name of many queens! If Jeremy and I had had a girl instead of Dylan we would have named her Caroline Joy. Jeremy's aunt's name was Joy and of course I love the meaning. Caroline is a strong english name (goes well with Greenhouse) and it is also a nod to our southern heritage because of Carolina. But it would be pronounced CarolINE not CarolYN. Amy's middle name is Susannah which I also think is sweet. will think of some more, but I must go back to work now. This type of thing could distract me for hours!</description>

		<description>I love combining names in order to make unique middle names as well as symbolizing that the child is a combination of the love of both parents.  My son's middle name is Leremy which is the combination of our middle names, Lynn and Jeremy.  We are thinking that if our 2nd is a boy, we will give him the middle name Mickene which would be a combination of both Grandpa's middle names, Michael and Eugene.</description>

		<description>A unique boy's name that I love is Declan.... it means "man of prayer" which I think is awesome.  And it could easily be placed with a middle name that adds to that meaning...... for example 

"Man of prayer" and "strength"
Declan Gabriel Hedrick
Declan Ezekiel Hedrick
Declan Azai Hedrick

"Man of prayer" and "honor"
Declan Timothy Hedrick

"Man of prayer" and "grace"
Declan Ray Hedrick

David means beloved or friend or in the Bible David was called a man after God's own heart.  The name Declan David is cool to me because it can mean "Man of prayer after God's own heart".... 

Am I correct in remembering that you and your husband have a faith?  All of these names I'm happening to choose go with that, so you may or may not like them depending on where you stand with spirituality.  I know some people don't like the names to be *overly* spiritual.... so whatever suits you!  :)

Another unique boy's name is Griffin which means "faith".... Griffin Hedrick.

That's all I've got right now..... I LOVE thinking of names, so this is fun for me.  I'll have to think of some girl ideas now.  Congrats on your pregnancy!</description>
