You can call her Mattie for short! (My mother's name, BTW.)
Funny thing about black and white. You mix it together and you get gray. And it doesn't matter how much white you try and put back in, you're never gonna get anything but gray.

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.
