names

okay, so many people seem interested in what we're naming these kiddos. fear not - you'll know soon. in the meantime, if you're just dying to know something, we'll give you some middle name info. you can call them by their middle names for the next 10 days (ah! 10 days!)

according to wikipedia, 1 in 3 american households own a scrabble set. we do not. why? because I am SO bad at it (and therefore do not like it!) but, although we do not like scrabble we do like games, so when a friend asked if we could give her the scrabble score of our names to guess from, I thought, "well that's sorta fun" :D

So, our girl's middle name has a scrabble score of 23. the boy's middle name will not get you as many points, its scrabble score is just 8. I promise you, you've heard of both of their middle names, and they're spelled normally.

now some of you are thinking, wait Dana, you've already told us the girl's middle name. and... that's true. no changes there. but hey, maybe some people will have forgotten, and this is a fun way to guess. so guess, guess, guess away. In a few days I'll let you know the answer :)

note: since I don't own a scrabble set, I relied on this photo here to tell me how much each letter was worth. it's a little hard to see, but I think I interpreted everything correctly! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Scrabble_tiles_en.jpg
