thank you for all the ideas! Sadly, I don't think my husband will go for ANY-accept maybe a Amelia,which I don't like.
I find Ambrosia interesting, and mentioned that, but every name I am putting out is a no-go. It seems that despite what he said about being willing to discuss the name- there is really no discussion.
