What would YOU name our baby??
Ok remember how I said we thought it was a girl and then I said that it's actually a boy?? Well we had a list of girl names that I really liked but now we are sort of starting over. I feel so stuck. Boy names seem so much harder then girls! What is up with that?? Don and I have discussed whether or not we will put a poll on my blog with our name list towards the end of pregnancy. It just depends I guess on how we are feeling. We have had some fairly rude responses when we have shared our names like "it's stupid", "I hate it", "who would name their kid that", some people insisting that they would NOT use the name and call them something else... and the list goes on. So at this point we are proceeding with caution. However, I would love to hear your ideas for names!! Don and I are untraditional with a flair of traditional. Hehehe.. I like names that aren't really common but don't sound made up. As for boy names I personally don't really want a name that is unisex, I want a masculine name for my son. The best example is Broderic. (In my opinion) It's a great name with a cute nickname and it will grow with him into manhood. When we named Brody I had rarely heard of the name and I hear it much more now. Oh well. I just want to come up with something that is just as good. :) Soo0ooo what do you think? What are boy names that you would suggest???

Tough question!! I hadn't heard of any Ethans when we named Ethan, but soon found out it was in the top 2 or 3 names that year. Whoops. Oh well. I still like his name, common or not! :)
We decided not to tell anyone our name choices for Ruby because we had some negative reactions to our first picks for Kibby... So we announced her name after she was born. Since everyone knew she was a girl already, it gave people something unknown to look forward to. And it saved us the "grief" of hearing any negative comments!
And now we have to (I mean GET to!) pick another name... we'll probably keep it hush again this time, too. :)
I cant help much here...but I too like unique names! Its a bummer that people are like that when you share a name...I tend to just not care what they say. Its the same with all the advice people give you to..a teacher friend told my hubby, "Just listen to the advice, and do what YOU want!" So true...whatever you decide it will be perfect for YOUR baby!
Melissa told me your T boy name and A, I think it's absolutely absurd that people would make rude comments, it's YOUR KID... and B. I am absolutely in LOVE with the name!! :)
I will have to think about some names, and search the books. I really think boy names are a whole lot harder to come up with, and I had 3 go figure!
I do think it is rude when other's are rude in their responses. That is why we don't tell anyone. Then, we don't hear the opinions.
