Good-bye "Abysmal Medusa", hello...

Now you don't think I'd tell you right away, did you? Delaying the reveal is so much more fun. Of course, the beauty of a blog is that you can scroll down and find the name right away anyway, and then come back and read the rest.

Anyway, Scott and I finally decided. We had narrowed it down to three names that we liked --Isabelle, Jordan, and Leah-- so the hard part was over and done with. Well, we (or more like I) ruled out Isabelle since it rhymes with Colwell; that would be way too cutesy for me. So... the winner is... Leah Jordan.

Now, I know we still have a few more months before Leah makes her arrival (actually, I'm six months today!), but we felt like we should share the name sooner rather than later. I know it would have been fun to keep her name a secret, but if we have to re-train ourselves regarding her name, won't everyone else? Plus, what if we were to slip up and say her name? And of course another reason for sharing her name is to lay claim to it. I know, I know, that seems a bit silly, but considering the number of friends and family that's expecting a little girl sometime in the near future (I know of at least seven people who are expecting girls), well, we thought we'd claim the name that we want in case others were also considering it.
