Thought I'd pitch in with the names: My oldest son is Dillon Taylor and my youngest is Colton Curtis. I also liked Grayson for Colton but DH like Colton (Colt) best. And FlyingMonkeyPoop your kids are in trouble when they hit school with names like Howdy and Banjo. Unless they plan on being rodeo clowns please reconsider when the time comes.

My name is Emily. Growing up (I am almost thirty :O), I knew FOUR Emilys. One was a fifth grader when I was in kindergarten, two were a grade below me when I was in junior high, and one was a sophmore when I was a freshman. Now Emilys are crawling all over the place :lol
You think having your name yelled is bad? I get that too, but I have had to train myself not to respond to my name! :lol In fact, one of my friends has an Emily, and was hissing at her to be quiet (you know, quiet yell
). I whipped around and said, "What??" I thought she was gonna tell me something urgent :lol.
Michael is a great name. It's my son's. Although, I heard that boys named Michael can be a handful. Is that true? :lol
Michael means "Who is like God?" People often leave off the question mark, which gives the name a different connotation altogether
I think its a beautiful reminder that even though my kid is almost perfect
, we still need to remember who created him, and who is really in charge.
Thanks Michael, for grousing about your name
My son is having dental work done tomorrow (he is two) and while defending the name Michael I had to remember who is really in charge of his teeth, and its not me
Congratulations on your expected arrival. We have 5 kids and our youngest 2 are boys. All our kids have family names. I love that they all are named after someone in our family.
Our boys names are,
James Allen and Jacob Virgil
My grandfathers middle name was Augusta. We almost went with Virgil Augusta with son # 2. My husband really wanted a Gus, but was happy with a Jake!
I can't find your finalist list so will throw in my 2 cents....We have a Denver. I wasn't sure about it at first but was my husbands choice. (I got to name the girls...Adria and Ella) so I couldn't go back. It definately fits him. He likes his name anyway!
