of a great name for Baby Girl Lightfoot, include:
*Flowery Cloud
*Rainbow Star
*Flower in the Sky
I think we'll wait and see which one suits her best. Or at least that is what I told Chloe.

I vote for Flower in the Sky...
Oh, DEFINITELY flowery cloud. Love it...might have to steal one of those gems of a name if Belly Baby is a girl! I'm sure they'll be in the 100 most trendy names pretty soon. Hahahaha, that's so cute!
oh and i thought our names were good- i love rainbow star!! :-)
Rainbow Star is very pretty :) Sort of like a princess name...
if you went with option #1 you could always call her flo for short (like in mel's diner) lol
They are all great names. My cousin in due in a few weeks with her 4th- Grace, her 5 year old, is convinced she should be named Tenderheart!
