Gender Neutral Names

As per usual I have the most interesting "converstations" with myself while running. This morning was no exception. I got to thinking about names. Ok.....rewind to the weekend and Kristi and I often go back and forth about baby names. We've done this for years, with both of us not knowing if and when we will have kids....but knowing what we will name them, hands down.

I started thinking about Chris' name and realized.....hmmmm, it kinda bugs me that Chris is a "gender neutral name" as I have known several female Chris'. However, within seconds I realized......

Duh.

Erin, YOU have a gender neutral name. Albeit, typically spelled alternatively for male versus female. None the less....it only furthered the belief that the names Chris and I have determined for our to-be or not-to-be children are perfectly gender specific. So, if we ever walk down THAT road, we would welcome a

Gavin

or

Gracie

to the Vestal family

You're funny. I LOVE both those names. And I have a "Chris" too. Her name is Krista but we call her Kris. I also have a Billie. LOL! Totally gender neutral!

You are a great writer. I talk to myself while I am doing laundry. :) Good names Erin!
