Aloha all - we need help. So, in approximatly three weeks we are expecting the newest addition to the Jorgensen family. Up until two weeks ago, we knew what we wanted to name this addition: Bentley Garner if it's a boy and Penelope Colleen if it's a girl ... but then something happened. We're not quite sure what, but now we're unsure on the names for both genders. Being the anal person I am, I'm going nuts. Three weeks left and our child is nameless?! Unacceptable.
So, these are the names we're thinking of ... and I'll keep adding more, because we keep adding more. I just thought maybe some outside input would help us settle:
BOY: hmmm, hope it's not a boy - haven't thought of much other than Bentley Garner or Garner Redd (Redd is Bruce R. McConkie's middle name, by the way), kind of looked at Halfdan (means half-Danish - which our kids are cause Case is like 90% Danish and I'm a pure American mut) with either Garner or Redd as a middle name
GIRL: middle name - Colleen (Jorgensen family name); first names: Penelope, Gwendolen, Chloe, and Mettelise (another Danish name after Casey's great-great Grandma Mette)
A penny for your thoughts... (not a real penny though - just a metaphorical penny, like a thank you for your comments)

I adore the name Penelope- adore it.
No big deal, Barrett didn't have a name until he was a day old! Try one from this website:

or if that link doesn't work because it's too long go to babytalkers.com and do a search for worst baby names. The celebrity baby names are a hoot!
I like Chloe and Gwen for a girl. And I like Bentley for a boy. That's my opinion- free of charge! :)
I will love any name that he/she happens to be named...that said, these are my faves:
I like the name Redd thats cool. imo it could be a really cool first name. Out of the two boy names you named, I like Garner redd the best. I like Chloe, really cute and I can totally see Addi's little sis being named Chloe for sure. I like Penelope too, but I really picture your offspring looking more like a Chloe.
What about Chloe Penelope Jorgenson?
jorgensen with an "e"!! dang it.
we have similar taste in names. because i was just thinking the other day that when i get pregnant again and if it is a girl i like the name penelope. it is so crazy to hear that you like it too, so of course my vote goes to penelope.
I like Chloe
Redd & Chloe are my vote!
Girl - I have always loved the name Chloe, I would be jealous if you used that name because Aaron doesn't like it!! BUT Penelope is adorable as well!
BOY-I love Bentley, SOOOO CUTE!!
When i first read your "update tally" i was like why did she put a frowny face after florida? not realizing you were closing a bracket and putting a colon as to the upcoming list...that said.
I am a fan of Chloe and i agree, it's very fitting for Addi to have a little sister named Chloe.
in regards to the sling question... mine was actually homemade for me by my cousin. she was pregnant around the same time as me and wanted one for her so she went on line to buy one at noticed that they were really expensive. so she copied the idea, made her own pattern and made me a sling too.
it actually didn't seem to hard maybe you could whip one up too. or i have heard that the brand 'the new native' is good. happy sling hunting.
I've never heard of Mettelise before... I love it!! How cute! I like all the names! It might be nice to have a list of names and see what s/he looks like when born. I love both those boy names, I really like Redd. I'm excited to see your little babe!!
i love chloe. i think that name is adorable. penelope is too but you have to be ok with people calling her penny.
Wow, I think baby names are an exciting topic! I can't believe you're almost due. That seemed quick. Probably not to you though. :)
P.S. I reponded to your question with a new post! We chose a light gray, with dark gray accents.
I like both Bentley and Garner. I really like Penelope. I LOVE the name Gwen, that's one I want to use if I have a couple more girls.
You pick the greatest names, so no matter what you choose it will be fabulous.
Thanks for all the comments everyone ... keep 'em coming!
