Boy or Girl?

Next Thursday on October 7th we will finally find out what we are expecting in March.  After pouring through several baby name books and combing through family names we managed to find one name for both sexes that we could agree on.  Actually when I say we agreed on it I mean we just flipped a coin.  Before I reveal what our picks are here are some honorable mentions that were heavily considered before making our decision. 

TOP BOYS' NAMES:

- Owen Watson
- Aiden Kenneth
- Seamus Daniel (pronouced SHAY-MUS)
- Caleb Andrew

TOP GIRLS' NAMES:

- Charlotte Elizabeth
- Leigh Anne
- Lillian Olive
- Clara Elizabeth

So here we are.  If we end up having a boy, then his name will be....

LIAM DANIEL MALLARD 



Liam is a derivative of William, Kiley's father and Daniel is Blake's father's name.  Evelyn is a very Irish name so this will definately fit with her name. 

If we are having another (god help us!) girl then her name will be...

DARCY ELIZABETH MALLARD



Darcy and Elizabeth are, of course, characters from Jane Austen's classic Pride and Prejudice.  This is one of Kiley's favorite books and movies of all time.  Side note: Blake lost this coin toss.

Well, there you have it.  We'll be sure to update and tell everyone as soon as we know!

Elizabeth was your Grandmother Hardy's middle name Kiley, and is also Jennifer's middle name. When you go back in our family line, it appears fairly often, so you have chosen a great family name for the middle name if you have another girl! Personally, while my prayer is that you have a healthy baby, regardless of sex, I hope you have a little boy. :-) Love you!! Aunt Chloe Anne
