Hi my name is ___________

So I don't think I've written a blog about it, but we are officially having a BOY!! We are beyond thrilled, and cannot wait for the handsome little man to arrive. We have been praying for a healthy baby and neither one of us had a preference of boy or girl....but let me tell you Matt hasn't stopped grinning yet. He is ecstatic to be having a son, and already talks about all the stuff that they can do together.

We have talked about what we would name our children since we were first married. We both adore children, and knew we would be parents. Once we got the positive test (or like 6 :)) we have talked about what to name this sweet baby non-stop. When you are just throwing out random names for a baby you will have someday it's pretty easy, but when you picture the baby you are growing and carrying somehow some of those names just don't seem to fit anymore.

We are praying about it, and want to give him a name that he can be proud of, and that will suit him. It's a pretty tough choice, but the stronger these little kicks get remind me that we need to get on the ball!

names....

This post was prompted by an email I got from a friend with the name that her and her hubby had picked out for their little bundle of joy who is due in a few weeks. Here's the kicker.....I totally didn't like it. It's not anything Matt and I would ever use, but it's pretty perfect for them. I love how that works!

It got me thinking about some of the names that Matt and I have picked out. Now, we obviously have no babies to name as of right now, but it sure doesn't stop us from talking (mostly disagreeing) and dreaming about what we will name our precious ones someday.

I tend to like interesting names that aren't all that common, and Matt tends to be more of a traditionalist most of the time in this area. I tend to like names that would work for either a boy or a girl, and he's adamant that his daughter or son should never be mistaken for the other. :)

So what's in a name? How does it always seem to happen that most people's names fit them perfectly? I'm not sure how or why, but I love the fact that it happens.

So without further adu, here are some of the names that Matt and I really like.... Titus, Eli, and Grayson. (Seems like we can only agree on boys names.....)

So what are some of the names that you either have named your children (or pets) or plan to name future loved ones?
