The Name Game

When we were expecting the Boy we kept our name choices a close, guarded secret.  We did issue a "clue a week."  I'll be honest.  I intentionally made the clues tricky.  I wasn't expecting anyone to figure them out.  I CERTAINLY wasn't expecting my Brother-in-Law (Peter the Cheater) to write a computer program using my clues that would scan the Social Security website and spit out my name choices in a matter of minutes.  My friend Emily was the first to legitimately solve the riddles and produce both the boy and girl names.  Hubby's dad was the second.  Given the clues I was surprised anyone got it.

I've had many requests for The Name Game 2.0 so I'll be thinking up some clues.  Like last time they will start off vague.  The real challenge this time is that there are 4 names to work with (2 boy names and 2 girl names).  I'll release a new clue each Saturday between now and the birth (which could really be at any time I suppose, but will most likely be in about 7-10 weeks.  OMG 7-10 weeks!!!!!

CLUE # 1

All four names share one common vowel.  Three of them share 2 common vowels.
