                        shirts so Yoko would not feel self-conscious. :-)

Yikes - OK Kellie - like I told Beth, you first!

Pickachu - ??? - we don't know who suggested this one

The Names We Picked Out

We (sort of) thank everyone for the suggestions above, but good thing we reserve veto power for any suggestions. We picked out the following names for our child:

If it is a girl:

Allison Tsubasa - "Tsubasa" means "Wing" in Japanese

If it is a boy:

We have no idea yet... there is such a limited selection for boy's names. We think "Alec" is a good name, but not sure yet.
