There are 11 weeks left until the baby is due. I am so nervous! We have been thinking about names and so far Owen seems to be the best liked.

When we were thinking up names for Trev, I wanted to give him a Croatian name, but it was just not practical to give a Canadian kid a name no-one can pronounce. I liked the name Trevor because it was very similar to the name Davor, which is the Croatian name I wanted.

For the new kid, I didn’t have any clue until Chris suggested Owen. It is a bit uncommon, which is partially why we like it. On further thought, it sounds like Croatian name Ognjen which, now that I think about it is kind of nice.

Not that my made up equivalents make any difference whatsoever, but it is kind of nice to think that my children’s secret names are Davor and Ognjen.
