What's in a name?

I don't know that I've mentioned it on my blog before, but I constantly have baby fever. Or rather, I have Mama-wannabe fever. I just can't wait to have kids. I can't wait to splash the walls with bright colors and buy cribs and big kid beds, and pick out the world's cutest clothes, and wake up 16 times a night to make sure they aren't cold or to feed them or snuggle them, and... well, I just can't wait! I watch my nephew (who will be one next week-crazy!) for weekends at a time sometimes, and I treasure getting up with him in the middle of the night, when it's just the two of us, and he's depending on me to get him his bottle or comfort him. Now, I don't think I will be quite as happy when I myself have to get up at 5 AM to head off to work on top of it. The truth is, I do want to be able to stay at home with my kids for the first few years. I love teaching and don't think I would want to leave it forever, but I love the thought of being my child's primary caregiver for the first few years.

Wow, this post went a completely different direction than I was intending it to!

What I came to say is, I have baby fever. And with that comes baby name fever. And I am totally stuck! I love names, so I like to have a short list at all times. Will I be able to actually use these on my kids someday? Who knows. Will I even still like them when I become a Mama? We'll see. But it's fun to have one anyway.

So, I need your help!

For the longest time, my boy name was Dominic Logan. Logan is kind of a non-negotiable (and hopefully my future husband will agree!) because it is the last name of my grandparents. My mom's father died when she was very young, and I never met him. My grandma remarried before I was born, and my beloved grandpa never had biological children of his own. I have claimed the name Logan for myself as a way of honoring my grandparents, who practically raised me when I was young.

I am over Dominic. I need a new boys name to be paired with the middle name Logan. I do not want Logan to be a first name, due to popularity.

My short list of names now is:

Lucas Gregory (Gregory is my dad's name)
Leah Madeline (LINE, not LYNN)
Sofia Charlotte or Sofia Vivienne

So that gives you an idea of my taste. I tend to lean towards old-fashioned names. Some other names I like are:

Stella, Violet, Hannah, Anna, Lila

Leo, Gavin, James, Henry

None of the boy names flows with Logan the way I want it to, except for James. BUT, I have big reservations against using Lucas, Sofia, and James. (And if you watch One Tree Hill, you know why!)

So, help! Give me some fresh ideas. My name-nerd self would be oh-so appreciative. (:
