what's in a name
It meets all the qualifications:
>It can be shortened: Alaina is 3 syllables and as most people know I am lazy when it comes to names….and wasting time saying 3 whole syllables is exhausting and inefficient. So we (atleast I) will probably just call her “Lainy” more than “Alaina”
>It is flexible: at points in a child’s life (terrible twos, and pretty much the whole span of the teenage years) a parent has to say their child’s name more than they would like. So we try to pick one that gives us options to alleviate the repetitiveness. This one gives us: Alaina, Lainy, and Ally.
The middle name is still up for grabs though. Caden’s awesome middle name (which I heavily lobbied for) Crusoe sets a high bar. For us, it’s important for the middle name to have substance. Crusoe came from one of my favorite books Robinson Crusoe.
Any suggestions for Alaina _____ Pate are welcome.

Ok, so Caden's got double "C" names so what about double "A" for the little lady? I immediatly thought of Arianna?? Just a thought, since you asked...Love you guys.
