As you know, we have been trying to come up with a name for the baby girl due 2/22/10 for sometime. Before finding out it was a girl I was sure her name would be Cannon. I still love Cannon (even though websites insist it is a boys name) but we just decided that she wasn't Cannon.
Katherine has long been a favorite name of mine but I love the full name Katherine and don't really care for many of the short names. We will strive for keeping it Katherine.
David had decided several months ago that he wanted the middle name to be Elaine (his moms middle name) so we decided that Katherine (One of my moms aliases) would be a perfect first name.
The decision was made on my birthday, exactly two months before her due date. We can't wait (but we want to wait at least 6 more weeks) for Katherine to be here. I am hoping that now that she has a name she will decide to un-breach herself and uncomplicate things.....well, you know that second children have a tendency to just do their own thing. :)
For future reference: The results of the name poll
Amelia-2 votes (8%)
Cannon-3 votes (12%)
Catherine-5 votes (20%)
Marin-3 votes (12%)
Mia-7 votes (29%)
Reagan-8 votes (33%)
Other-4 votes (16%)

I am so happy that no-name/unnamed girl finally has a name! and it's a great name, too.
I had a Katherine-named friend growing up who went by Kate. As a teenager she tried to change it to Katherine. That doesn't work. Bottom line... avoid nicknames from the start, if you want her to be Katherine.
I love the name for your new unborn baby girl! Katherine is one of our family names spelled Kathryn.
I was called Kathryn all the time (family called me Kat) until college when everyone called me Kat. Many people go back and forth between Kat and Kathryn. Mr. KFuj only calls me Kathryn and I love it!!
How is it that Reagan got more votes than Katherine?
This second child loves the name!!!
I love the name for her! She can wait until at least 1/25 if not 2/22.
This must be a big weight off your shoulders. However we had a name picked and T changed it in the delivery room.
Yea! My niece has a name. =)
