People have all different philosophies when it comes to baby names. Some people like to:
-pick a name and not tell anyone until the child is born
-pick a name and tell people when they find out the sex of the baby
-steal a name, or use an obvious family name
-announce the name of their future unborn children, long before they are even expecting.
Guess which one I am? :) Yep, Zac and I talked about baby names very early in our relationship and have not wavered much since then. I share these names with you not to really "CLAIM" them, because we will use these names even if our family and friends use them too (remember, we have liked them a LONG time), but just so you know what Zac and I plan on naming our munchkins. :)
If it's a boy, we have always liked "William Andrew." But he'll be called Drew. I think it's cool when everyone calls a boy by his nickname, but only his mom and girlfriend/wife call him by his full name.
I also love the name Asher, but this is new, and I haven't discussed it with Zac much, so that's just a backup. ;)
Girl names we love are:
Allison (Ally)
Emily Jayne (Emma or Em-Jay)
and another new one I love is Ava. I think Ava Brooke is pretty.
Fun fact about me, while we are on the topic of baby names...when I was a girl (until the age of about 13) I wanted to have quintuplet girls, and name them Kacey, Lacey, Stacy, Tracy, Macy! Can you believe that? Haha, Zac is very glad that I outgrew that dream!
Thoughts on our names??

I like all of these names you have chosen - even Ava. Right now I'm not too keen on the name Asher, but it may grow on me!
Jules - I didn't even know you had this blog, I just stumbled on to it today!
I like all the names you picked out too....I'm glad you won't keep names a secret, I think it is more fun for people to know exactly who they are waiting for! Gian and I talked about names even before we were married. We really struggle with boy names, but the girl names we like are Anna and June.
Miss you!
Amy, I love Anna. We have talked about that for a girl, but my sister-in-law is Anne, and her daughter is Hannah, so we decided it would be way too confusing! :) Jules, I am glad Jayma has dropped off of your list. I like your other names a lot. And I really like that you are going to name your son after my sweet sweet husband!
