First of all, I would like to start this blog by saying "thank you" for the tremendous outpouring of support I've gotten since I've come out with my pregnancy.
Caroline was always a top name for me. It's classic without being trendy. It sounds formal yet has cute nicknames if she wants to use them. I also considered Charlotte but it got WAY too popular in the past 4 years and the nickname "char" makes me throw up a bit. Leah was also considered but with the last name of Key I look at Leah and think "lea". Then I put that together with Key and never, ever would want her name to be mispronounced as " lea key". That's right. Say that out loud.
Which brings me to a topic that I frequently get asked about...why don't you change your last name back to Roth? The biggest reason for this is because Key is Alex's last name. I've never even asked Nick to change it because He would never consider it. Second, but not as important, I hold about 10 different licenses...ALL of them would need to be changed. It is a ton of paperwork and a ton of misunderstandings....I'm too low energy to go though all of that.
Caroline's middle name will be Joan, after my mom. I considered a middle name of "Lauren" but that felt too much like I was trying to replace Lauren. I considered "Roth" to do the yuppie "maiden name as a middle name" thing. I considered "Olivia" but that would only be so I could call her Carrie O. Key and smile :) My mom couldn't be more thrilled to finally get a grandchild named after her. Caroline is, after all, #12 for her.
