Aside from the usual question of "What's the baby's gender?", is "What's the baby's name?"
Deciding on our baby girl's name was hard. I wanted several names starting with my initial - Chloe, Callie, Cassandra, Cienna, Caitlin, Cielo, and Cienne. As for my husband's initial, there were only a few names that we would like to consider - Denisse, Daphne, Danielle, and Dominique.
We both decided to have it in a common way, baby will be having 2 names, first name will be after her dad's initial and second name would be after mine, so she was to be named Baby DC. I wanted the name Chloe so bad (loved this name since I was young and told myself that in the future, if Im going to have a baby girl, I'll name her Chloe. :) but it didn't go nicely with any of the D names which we wanted. So it was off the list. :( Maybe next time when we do have another girl (Of course, 1 child is not enough for us, at least 3 children I hope).
Another factor we considered was a name which came from the bible, and which will be meaningful. Again, I found very few names from the bible which starts with D and C which we like.
I always tell my sister of our plans, and ideas (she's my best friend by the way, and worst enemy when I was younger, haha, kidding!), and even with our baby naming, I told her of the names and how we wanted it, and she was also part of baby's name planning. She was the genius who suggested we name her Danielle Cerisse (now I feel like its her daughter instead of mine, haha).. Anyway, she's really good at it. She once suggested a name for one of our cousins, and the parents named the child as my sister suggested. I think I better call my sister as the Baby Namer, if there was a word as such. Even baby's nickname was suggested by my sister, she will be called Reese (just like Reese Witherspoon, or Reese chocolate).
Anyway, our reasons for finally naming our baby as DANIELLE CERISSE, aka REESE are..
- Baby's initials are after ours, Dabevon & Christianne..
- We wanted to have a name taken from the Bible since she is a gift from God, quite a few names in the Bible which are quite modern, but we also wanted the name Daniel, and his life story (Daniel and the Lion's den is quite the popular story in the book). So we just had to change the spelling a bit in order to make it the girly version of Daniel, which was Danielle. I also like the idea of naming my girls with a guy's name, just like mine. :D
Anyway, Daniel means "God is my judge", while Cerisse means "Cherry" (didn't I just say that she was more like my sister's daughter because my older sister's name is Cherry, haha).
