Our last name is 2 syllables. It's also a rare name that many have never heard, and doesn't really go well with a lot.
12 more days! hopefully our bean doesn't cross his/her legs when she checks for the sex!
I don't think I'm showing enough yet to tell you whether I'm a basketball or a watermelon shape.
Oh yeah! Be careful the first name goes well with the last....
My first name ends with the s sound (joyce) and the first letter of my birth name began with a z.
When I would say my whole name, it just slurred together, and usually people thought my name was joy, which I dislike.

Here's an old name that was my grandmother's. Louise.
FreeDuck. I already offered my grandmother's name. Ethel. First come, first served. Joah can name her next daughter, Louise.
We talked about it in the car and my husband still loves... "Abby"
...while I'm pushing for Madeline Clarice... "Maddy"
...and I really like Clara.
I love Abby too. Just a warning that Abby/Abigail is a pretty popular name right now. It all depends whether you care about that or not.
