What is in a Name?

The twins have names!!!! We have had a girl's name in mind since before conception just no middle name until recently. The boy has been harder to come by. The only rules we had are as follows
1) The 1st and middle names have to sound good together.
2) The two first names have to sound good together as well, this rule was Milina's. I guess it is so when they are in trouble the names roll of your tongue easier while you are yelling at both of them.
3) They can not be named after anyone we didn't like or the kid that sits in front of you at church or in primary and can't sit down and shut up for longer than 30sec.
4) The boy's middle name had to be Jonathan. For those of you that don't know, the Stoddard males have made the Father's first name become the first born son's middle name for several generations, at least 4-5 generations that I am aware of, maybe longer.
5) The boy's first name could not start with a J or be longer than 2 syllables, both of which would sound funny with Jonathan as a middle name.

It is amazing that the boy has a name at all with all those rules!
The boy name short list consisted of Caden, Matthew, Adam, and Ethan. Below are the final names and their meanings. We did not pick the names based on meanings or origin but it is always fun to know what the name means and if you are curious as to what your own name means follow the link http://www.babynamer.com/
We looked forward to everyone meeting Adam and Mia as they enter the world Mid-February and appreciate eveyone's thought and prayers for us and them.

Boy - Adam Jonathan Stoddard.
Adam: Ruddy Earth (Hebrew), or Man (Phonecian) based on Adam being the first man and made from the earth
Jonathan: Gift of God (I have always been fond of that)

Girl -Mia Nicole Stoddard
Mia: Wished for Child (Hebrew) Sea of Bitterness (Scandanavian). We both like the first meaning as opposed to the latter for obvious reasons.
Nicole: Victorious People (Greek)

Baby Update

Milina had her follow-up appointment this morning and everything is fine. The whole family will be happy to know that it appears the twins have apparently inherited Milina's cheeks! For those of you that don't know Milina's cheeks were HUGE as a baby. She looked like a chipmunk that was storing food for the entire winter. And when the Doctor mentions the size of their cheeks on an ultrasound you know they are big. The twins are about 3lb-31/4lb each which is very good. He also told us that since the twins are gaining weight at a good rate he will probably not allow then to go past the middle of February. More baby updates to follow. I have also posted the latest ultrasound video and will be posting nursery room pics as well per several requests.
