Our son may always and forevermore remain nameless. No, really.
"Baby boy ____". Nice ring to it, huh? How about "boy # 2" or just "deuce"? Ya, we are in a bad way!
We simply cannot agree on boy names. Any suggestions? :) We are set on a middle name. Here are the parameters.
We like somewhat traditional names and the meaning is very important to me.
In the same way, it has to "sound good" with Anna-Kate and Ryan.
We try to avoid top 50 if at all possible, for sure top 25.
Refuse any name that ends in "on".
If you can manage to make it a family name, you win extra points.

So, help a girl out, do you have any fabulous suggestions for our poor third child?

Pierce? Not sure the meaning.
Adam? First man God created?
Joshua? Important guy in the Bible
William? No spiritual signficance but every family has a william in the fam. You?
Tate. My sister in law named her boy this. so cute.
All I got. I'll let a know if I think of more.
Joel
Josiah
Seth
Jeffery
Bradley
Daniel
Elliot
Tate
These are just a few I thought of. Best of luck in choosing! How far along are you again?
The only boy name WE have ever agreed on is Aidan.....so Aidan?
Shaun and Laura - love your second suggestion. I also think the Holton's should name their second child Josiah :)
But seriously, Janelle, my suggestions are:
Sterling (means Little Star, Precious)
Franklin (means free man, plus you could call him Frankie, and I think that is just precious)
Gregory (means Vigilant)
Adam won't work, my adopted nephew's name.
Joshua, we like it but if you've ever seen the Friends where Jen Anniston dates that guy named Joshua, she says it so hilarious that we can't help but laugh when we say "JOSHUA" which its bad to laugh at your sons name everytime you say it.
William won't work, good name, but Janelle has an uncle and cousin by that name.
Joel... rhymes with bowl.
Josiah...I'd need a million dollars from Josiah Roe to name him that.
Seth, nah.
Jeffrey, I like janelle doesn't.
Bradley, I do like naming a son after a tank...
Daniel, my middle name but we know an awful lot of dan's
Elliot, is ryan's middle name, though a good name.
Tate, cute but I have a reason that I'd rather not share.
I do like Aiden, Janelle won't.
Sterling sounds cool and I could call him "Silver Surfer," so that could be cool.
I like Frank, but janelle doesn't.
I like Gregory, but janelle doesn't. And I think Gregory means "Hill... or round mountain"?? think i saw that somewhere.
Zachary-The Lord remembers
dude, i thought you and i had already worked a deal that we were better at naming our kids together??? :)
Chris, you are cracking me up.
I like Jeremy for a boy's name (it is so in to name your children after former RD's),I would have named a boy Jeremiah if hubs was willing. And there was a LONG time that I wanted to name Super T Ezekiel and call him Zeke. I called him that while he was on the inside for months. If we have a fourth boy I would pull for Zeke.
Also love Luke and Owen.
What about a Junior. Chris II and you could call him Junior. Or Secundo.
Merry Christmas. Love, the Holtons: Anna Kate, Ryan & Zeke.
Or Boaz. Don't forget about Boaz.
I'm into the Z.
Also Ezra. I can't believe you haven't asked me this before :)
We love the name Isaac, but can't use it... Isaac Lutz sounds a little to close to "I's a clutz" :)
Bud love Ezra and I don't. So if you use it, I won't have to fight that battle when baby boy #2 comes along.
Bud says you should name him Fredrick.
Man so man good names are offered and so many are taken!
Owen is a neighbor down the streets son.
Jeremy, I'd just be afraid that he would speak in class today. That's a joke that I know my wife won't get. (Pearl Jam lyric)
Chris 2 does have a nice ring, but I'd be afraid people would call him number 2...
Ezra is an awesome name but taken by our friends the Gilchrist's.
Oh and another reason Joshua is out, other than the Friends thing, it was number 1 in 2008 and thats too high.
I think we have narrowed it down to three.
One was the name that I had chosen if Anna-Kate was a boy.
One is janelle's favorite name that I'm ok with.
and a third is sort of a compromise.
So what are the 3 choices so we can all vote Chris??
Oh man, I know I have heard what AK's "boy" name was gonna be. I totally don't remember though. I am having vague flashbacks to card nights... Shoot!
