The couple set up a polling page and is asking anybody with a Facebook account to vote.

"Whatever name wins is the name we'll go with," Dave Meske said.

Voters can choose from four names: Addilyne, McKenna, Madelyn or Emily.

"To kind of even the playing field, I was like, instead of us deciding, let's have some fun with it and throw it up on Facebook," Dave Meske said.

Right now, McKenna is in the lead, with 34 percent of the vote. The baby is due in January.

They are getting a bemused reaction from family.

"My in-laws, they know my personality, I am kind of a goofball," Dave Meske said. "They expect this more me. My parents are just laughing at me."
