What must we name this baby?

I had a difficult time naming infant Sawyer. Although I do like to maintain an air of secret by not sharing a baby’s name up until he is born, this time, I was not playing coy: I didn’t understand either.

Rookie daddy Alec as well as I started off without any concepts at all. When I asked if people believed it was okay to “steal” a infant name from a friend, you all weighed in. We ended up with great deal of opinions on my original question, however likewise a new listing of 86 a lot more kid names. indeed EIGHTY six a lot more kid NAMES!

I produced a google doc of “names we don’t hate” as well as by the time I was eight months pregnant, we had narrowed it down to eleven names with two front-runners. regrettably we hadn’t made a decision when infant sibling joined our household a few weeks early.

In the hospital, we alternated calling him each of the two preferred names. Our households were restless as well as inquisitive. We flipped a coin.*

* We didn’t truly flip a coin. We selected Sawyer since it is literary (Mark Twain), ends with R, has a tough meaning, was a television character (yes, LOST!), as well as has a minor association with Australia. as well as likewise since I had just seen a nameberry article predicting that my existing sons’ names were about to blow up with popularity so I stopped trying so difficult to be clever.
