And the winner is…
The kid-naming contest has come to a close.
Please allow me to introduce you to:

Primo
PRIMO
–noun
1. the part of a piano duet played on the upper half of the keyboard.
2. the first or leading part in an ensemble.
–adjective
3. Slang.
a. first-class: dinner at a primo restaurant.
b. highly valuable or most essential: the primo player on the team.
and his sister

Bella
BELLA
-adjective
1. beautiful.
2. delightful to the senses
Perfect, don’t you think?
Both names were suggested by the amazing JJ and, as she said in her comment, she won hands down. Email me, JJ, with your choice of prize and your mailing address and I’ll send those off. FYI, I’ll adjust the (sur)prize if you choose that one and replace the “baby” stuff I had in there since Fa probably doesn’t need a onesie.
Thanks so much to everyone who entered!
Another cool thing about Primo and Bella (the names, not the kids) is that they start with P&B. So, if we have that third child that we’re considering, s/he will need an e-name that begins with J. Because then? We’d have PB&J, and we’re just that dorky.

Um? Will you please come over and take pictures of my gorgeous kids, too? Your photographs are amazing, each and every time. (I guess it helps, too, that your kids are A.Adorable B.Beautiful. and C. Cuties full of charms… *singing*)

Ha! I get it now! Yay me!
So glad you like the names. When I was pregnant with Fa, my Italian husband said if it was a boy he wanted to name him Primo….it stuck with me…I really love that name…and Bella, well c’mon…Beautiful!
