what's in a name, part deux

Interesting: Hazel was the 18th most popular name in 1897.
Also interesting: Today it's the 343rd most popular name.

Priceless:  I get to call her Hazelnut.  :)

P.S. We do not know the sex yet, but I saw this coffee in the lunchroom and felt like a genius for thinking up the nickname. :)

what's in a name?

We've had names picked out for weeks now, so we've decided to announce them so all our friends can't steal them and use them for their own pending children.  (Brilliant, isn't it?)

If we have a boy, his name will be:
Daniel Shaniuk Kennedy

and if we have a girl, her name will be:
Hazel Kennedy Shaniuk

We decided months ago that we'd split the last name decision by sex, since we both like our last names.  We'll likely find out the sex in the next 4-8 weeks, and we're both very excited to know.  So far, we're just having a baby.  By then, we'll be having a girl or a boy.  It's the little things.
