Summary: Picking a name isn't easy.
Note: I love all the name suggestions I used here, all ones shot down by hubby, but after extensive discussion (read fighting) we have 2 girl names selected, so if we have a girl the next time around we're good to go.

 

“Cassandra?”

 

“No.”

 

“Willow?”

 

Sesshoumaru let out a derisive snort. “No.”
