I like to browse the top 1,000 list of names from the 1800's (on the bottom right). They had some pretty funky-fresh monikers for a bunch of pioneers!

Regina & Frank,
I'm sooooo excited for you both!!! (Ask Frank - I walk around the office clapping my hands and chanting "Baby!Baby!Baby!") Beautiful names - my faves are Sophia Isabella and Django Milan.
I warned Frank yesterday about "Milo" - growing up we had a drink called "Milo". Similar to Ovaltine, it came in a green tin, and it's tagline was "Milo- the food drink of champions" :))) You can check it out at http://www.nestleghana.com/html/brands/Milo/about.htm
My best wishes for you both as you continue on your very special journey.

P.S. Regina you write beautifully!
Regina & Frank-- It doesn't look like you need any more names to choose from, but my nephew has a name that is similar to a couple you are considering-- he is Ronan. Good luck on your journey!

I was reading your list of names. Here are a few of the really unique names I have come across at my kid's school.
Daria
Ishanti (love this)
Raif
Caid
Grover
Just a couple of ideas.
You guys crack me up. No doubt your kid will be laughing as much as you do.
Hey Sis,
Here are some of my favorite names
Jewel/ for a girl
Summer/ for a girl
Ivy/ for a girl
Star/ for a girl
Ariel/Arielle for a girl
Payton/Peyton for a boy
Kaiden/Kaden/Kayden for a boy
Wyatt/ for a boy
Thorne/ for a boy
Gideon/ for a boy
Of course Sonia is good too!!
My naming tip of the day is to please remember when naming your child, that if you spell it weird (like Jewelee instead of Julie) they will spend their whole lives telling people how to pronouce and spell their name.

Love you guys! Know you're getting excited for Italy.
Ok...not so sure you will find this months later, but here are my comments on the beautiful names you have on your list! I have 2 kids in child care, and I can tell you that the names Sophia, Ava and Isabella are POPULAR!! Sophia being the most...I think out of 8 girls in my daughters room, 3 of them are Sophie or Sophia, and one is Ava. Speaking of my daughter, her name is Addison...named so before the show Grey's Anatomy became oh so popular. Unfortunatly, I think this is going to become a very popular girls name, however, as you are probably aware, it is traditionaly a boys name, and I think it's great! Our son is adopted from Kaz (Fall of 2005, Kostanai) and although we went prepared with "our" boy names, we decided to keep the name he was given, Maksim. What an exciting time for you!!
Hi. I just came across your blog. (when bored i google "letter of invitation kazakhstan" to find kaz adoption blogs cause i am weird like that)
We adopted from Kaz in March 2007. It was important to us to not only choose a name that would not result in our son being in class with 5 other kids with the same name, but to also reflect his heritage. We decided on Dmitrii and we kept his name given at the baby house for a middle name. So, now he has a very Russian/Kaz first and middle name with a very American/English last name.
I noticed that you have Roman on your list of boy names. The name Roma is actually a fairly common name in Kaz but would be unique here. Just thought I would throw that option out there for you.
Congrats on the progress with your adoption. Hope you travel soon.
