You can call her Mattie for short! (My mother's name, BTW.)
Well, my days of not taking you seriously are certainly coming to a middle.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
But we're not naming the baby after the cat.
Likely story.
You guys could totally pull off a Wyatt -- total hipster name.

I know a Wyatt toddler, and it is a very cool and awesome kid name.

I'm for it. I feel like Smay lends itself to cool names anyway.

Now tagless for your comfort.
I LOVE the name Matilda. Lots of cool diminutives for it, too. I personally like Tilda.
JZ, I think with four sonos, you can be safe to plan for a girl. With Olivia, the doc pointed out the taco shape which, really, made me choke with laughter. But then, my OB could probably do stand up comedy and make a living.
But in case they're wrong--go with Wyatt. It rocks. (Isn't Emmett's favorite character Doc Holiday? I wouldn't go with "Doc.")

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
At this point, is taco shape a spoiler?

I don't know if it's a spoiler but I was trying to be sensitive to everyone's potential lunch plans.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

It's tricksy, though. There are lots of ethereal super-girly fairy princessy names that sound atrocious with Smay -- pretty much anything that ended in an "ea" or "ella" is Right Out, and there were a handful of boy names that sounded great on their own but ended in an s that smushed up into the S of Smay, and I already have a tendency toward a faint lisp if I'm not thinking hard about my s's and z's, so names like Tobias were also Right Out.
Doc Holliday Smay has a real ring to it, though.
Cash, heh. Our sono tech didn't show us any foodstuffs, but she did show the Halloweenie's brain (so cool!) and announce it with a deep and solemn "Here are her braaaaaaiiiiiiins." The snark is good.
Also, now I'm just desperately curious: What analogy did your OB come up with for Owen?

Huh. I don't think that. Arabella Smay is perfectly lovely. Edit: Of course, not as perfectly awesome as Matilda Smay, don't get me wrong!

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, VW!!!
Matilda Smay - LOVE.
