name game

When I first found out that I was pregnant Andrew and I started to think of names that we both liked. We got books out from the library and went on line for ideas. If the baby was a girl we had a good idea of what her name would be...well I guess that will need to wait until the next time around. We both had a bunch of boy names that we individually liked, but only a few that we both liked. Boy names were difficult for us. Andrew made it clear that he did not want an Andrew Jr. or even use a name that is close to his (i.e. Anderson) or use his name for a middle name. As of today, we have narrowed the search down to two: Liam or Quinn.

Liam: Unwavering protector
Quinn: Wise

We want our son to have a name that he won't share with ten other kids in his class. While it is understandable that everyone is going to have an opinion about the name that is chosen, Andrew and I have decided that the only opinion that matters is our opinion. We may leave you all in suspense and not share the final decision until birth day...and who knows we could possibly change our minds again and again before then. No matter what we name him, odds are he will be a pistol no matter what!
