choosing a name

as you know

the names at the top of our list

are olive and eleanor

with the middle name mae

and we cannot decide

i told michael the other day, "i like eleanor"

because i'd thought of it all day and felt like it was right

and we were settled

then the next day i couldn't help feel sad not to use olive

which i've liked since i was little 

thanks to my great aunt olive

and i also love beatrice

my great grandma's name

but michael doesn't like beatrice that much 

and especially doesn't like "bea"

it was so much easier when we named hazel

because i had her name picked out for like four years

and michael liked it

so i told michael he has to choose between olive and eleanor

but..knowing michael....he won't be able to

see? this is what happens when two youngest children get married

we can't decide anything!
