Lots of goodies on your list. 

I don't personally care for frilly names like Annaleise, Alessandra etc. So all those multi-syllabic names ending in -a don't really do it for me. Nothing wrong with them, though.

I like Greta, Maeve, Kate, Grace, Mila and Gemma best.  


I'm getting so big!

I just want to give you a world as beautiful as you are to me.
