Thanks for all of your great replies. But my husband and I have chosen Apple..... JUST KIDDING. I'm glad I'm not a celebratiy. Naming a baby is really tough. The child has it thier whole life. I had a friend who was named Marsha but she goes by Libby. She HATED it everytime her name was called during the beginning of a class. I'll admit I poked fun at her too.
Really though, we will go with Arrebell or a variation of it. I was soooo surprised when I emailed my husband last night and he agreed with me! His words were, guys don't dig the names "JaTawn and LaFawnda." lol. Last time he gave me SO much trouble when naming our son. We couldn't agree on anything, but finally did a week before the baby was born. I guess that isn't that bad since my husband didn't have a name for the first 3 days he was born. I'm not finding out the sex until it is born and I'm not going to tell anyone the names we have picked out. The Aunts will probably complain about it behind their back, but you guys are right, what can they do? They will have to get over it.
It will be the middle name because last time I picked my son's first name, and it was kind of the agreement we had that next time John would get to pick the baby's first name. Last time John had chose the middle name Wesley after his grandfather. I liked the name Wesley, but not as a first name. (I thought it was kind of old fashioned myself) I really liked Dominick because if he didn't end up liking the name he could always go by a nickname variation like Dom, Nick, D, Nicky, I have called him all of those. So I want the same for the next baby. And since he used the middle name of a relative, I want to do the same this time around, but with my own family.
Someone asked before how far along I am. I am almost 12 weeks. It feels like I have a LONG way to go. Last week I threw up for the first time this pregnancy and I was crying because I couldn't eat my fav foods anymore. So there are no belly pics yet, I'm just getting a little pouch.
Thanks for all of your replies. Now it's one less thing I can stress out about. So I'm just waiting for my husband to come up with first names. He will probably wait until a week before I'm due again. But oh well. Here are the middle names I've chosen
Boy: David (I think it's a good, strong name and it's after my father)
Girl: Arrebell, Arabell, Arabella (something like that and I already told you guys it was after my grandmother)

Thanks again guys. And congrats to all of the other pregobuddies I have on YT.
