\"\"One of the things we discussed more than a year ago and while we still weren’t quite decided to start a family (or not) was who would get to decide on baby names. We decided on the arrangement where I’d work out a list of baby girl names, and Ling baby boy names. We’d both have to finally agree on which name of course, but we each get to decide on our list of potentials.<\/p>\n

Lots of people I think want special sounding and looking names to be different from the rest.
