Not enough names, too many opinions

We have finally nailed down a name for this baby.
It took a while because....well, we're running out of names we love. Things were getting so grim that we very seriously considered naming this baby Penelope (which is a name we both really like) even though it would mean that her nickname would make it look like we named her after my childhood dog (Penny. I really did love Penny.)

Anyway, we officially told the girls today what her name will be. What we did not expect was Lucy's very forceful reaction.

"No!" she yelled at us, covering her face with her hands, "I hate that horrible name!!!"

Chris managed to diffuse the situation by suggesting a nickname. I am not personally fond of it, but it works with Lucy. So, as of right now, her plan is to call her new sister "Uth."

I love that name :)

I have been wanting to call you, but thought you would be too busy getting ready for your trip. We'll catch up when you get back.

Hugs,
Ange

ps: Lucy asked if the baby could be named Stacy. Why? Our best guess is that it comes from " Phineas and Ferb " : who is the friend of a character.
