Baby Names

I've been coming up with names for my little monster and it seems complicated. I mean, it is becoming real that I will actually name someone who isn't here yet. The name I pick has to be the perfect one for him or her and I want it to mean something. I have thought about if I have a boy, I want to put the name Troy as a middle name to name him after my friend, Troy Cooper, who died 5 years ago in Iraq and I want to honor his memory. I still haven't decided on the first name yet but I do have several ones that I like: Ben, Ian, Aiden, or Finn. If it is a girl, I know for sure that I want to keep my Italian heritage alive in my kid so I looked up Italian names for girls and found: Alessandra, Gisella, Graziella, and Domenica. You know, Domenica is the same name as my great-great grandmother who came through Ellis Island in New York City as an immigrant from Italy. I do like Leighton which is American and my middle name is Leigh-Ann so it would be cool if she did share a similar middle name to mine. We will see what I have in February or March. I know I will come up with a great name for my little monster. :)
