Body: Ever-rounder

With four and a half weeks to go, my belly has become the center of life in our home. Not only do I feel the life within me moving and occupying my inner sanctum of the womb, but Finn and Lucy love to touch and feel my belly too. "Baby," points Lucy (sometimes to my chest, when I then redirect her to my belly). And, who knew that pregnant bellies make great parking spots for matchbox cars?

My only dilemma (aside from the constant rearranging of pillows while sleeping) is what to name this precious babe. I have a name in my head, but I'm not sure it's "the one." I know a few women who say they don't even share any of the names they're considering for their impending arrival. But, I figured I'd get the blogging world's opinion on this baby boy's name. Who knows, maybe one of you will be the proud namer of this next child-o-mine.

So, what say ye? What do you think we should name this boy?

hmmm. ok, don't laugh... but i like how you use uncommon names that are still NAMES. not this made up business... let's see... liam, soren, tait. and i love the name ryder. good luck!!

Boy names are so much harder than girl names! It took me a year after Jeremy was born for me to like his name. Nathan picked it and while I was ok with it, I didn't really like it a lot. We can only have one more boy because I get to pick the next boy's name and then Nathan gets to pick again and I really don't like the next name he has planned!

You already know what I like, but here's another thought if you want to work your maiden name in. Make the first name Fox, then call him by a middle name. That's an unusual first name for sure!

okay i love the names finn and lucy so you have a tough situtation, however you had once said you liked Miles and i think that is really cute and kinda goes with finn and lucy, anyway good luck i know you'll come up with something adorable, and if not you'll never hear otherwise from me! :) ha ha j/k i'll love it no matter what!

I kind of like the name Max, or Maddox. It's simple, but different. I also like the name Ryder as well. My problem with names is there are too many!! HOw do you choose just one?

Justin and Stacey said...

Oh, and while your belly is getting ever-rounder...you are also getting ever-cuter!! (Is that a word??) :)

Sarah, first of all you're tiny. I can't believe how tiny it's your third. I love the name Miles. Some others I can think of are: Dalton, Talmage (Tal), Eli. You can always use Tate if you like it too!

I love Noah and Benjamin.

Although having a Finn and Ben in the same house might get a little tricky when you're yelling at them both to stop throwing mud at Lucy.

I really like the naming him Fox idea. I always wanted to do that with my maiden name but Wilson Larson just doesn't quite have a good ring to it. Henry's a good one.

Marilyn said...

Oh, I'm stumped on new ideas, but I love some of the one's suggested...

Miles
Tate
Max
Simon
Henry
Eli
Noah
Liam

I think those are all solid, good, boys names that can grow into a man's name.

Wow, you got a huge response to your question. There were a lot of great suggestions. I like the name Ryder, however it's not very orignal. What about a cowboy name, I have this thing for cowboy names, that's explains the name Travis.

When I was 9 months pregnant with Travis my tummy stuck out so far I could set a dinner plate on it......

Max, Hank, or Liam. I like names that are easy to say and classic. It works out when you have to say their names a lot because then you aren't wasting syllables.

Justin and Stacey said...

I like Henry too! :)

Justin and Stacey said...

Oh, and Tate

You don't know me, I found your cute site through Nie Nie auctions. I love your fun ideas! And I just had to add my two cents for names... I love William with the names Finn and Lucy. Will is such a strong, yet classic name and has 4 letters just like your others! I also like Nate, Grant and Bennett b/c those are my three boys! Good luck!
