What's in a name?

Probably the two most asked questions everywhere we go are "do you know what your having" and "do you have a name picked out." Well in our case yes we know what we are having (boy) and no we do not have a name picked out. It seems that everyone has "advice" on what a great name such and such would make. I guess if you like that name have a child and give it to them. Family seems to try to influence the most. They talk about gradfathers names, middle names, names they have heard, and names they have seen. Names have many meanings and stick to the child forever....which means you have to be sensative in some aspect that they will get older and be stuck with that name. I feel I am a more traditional in the name aspect and wanted something a little different but not too unique. After looking at every baby name book know to man we have settled on two. The two names we are pondering are Jack and Evan. We have decided not to make a choice until he is born. The one thing we do know is the middle name will be Thomas. We would forward to seeing the little guy and deciding the name. Would love you hear your thoughts on the names.......till next time.

  1. I love traditional names myself, Jonathon, John, Thomas etc... Grandparents always have a say in names and as life cycles itself and some day your experiencing your first Grand Child you'll be giving advice too.
