When I was pregnant with Christy, we decided if she was a girl she would be Erin Nicole. I had the longest labor of the 3 with her - about 19 hours. When she was born, I looked at her and said to Car, she does not look like an Erin Nicole, this is Christina. We added Sue for her middle name. I have no idea as to why she did not look like an Erin. And of course, I have no idea if it would have changed who she was but I have always found it interesting that I felt that way.

Amy was going to be Amy Marie and she was and Rob was going to be Robert Dale after our two fathers. Carl's Dad was Robert and my dad was Marian Dale but always went by Dale. When Rob was a teenager he asked me why we chose Dale over Marian and said he would have preferred Marian as his middle name. I have no idea why he felt that way or if he still does.
