Names????

Ok, so quick back story. Dave and I don't really have a hard time agreeing on names (so far, knock on wood), and we have also had the names of our children picked out before they were conceived. Seth, was easy, it's Dave's middle name, but during that pregnancy I fell in love with the name Isaac, and so our second son's name was a no brainer. Owen was on the list along with Seth, but got bumped when I fell in love with the name Isaac.

NOW. . . we have several names, after conception, and neither of us are passionate about them. I found about 25 names on line that I liked and presented them to Dave, he narrowed them down to 6 that he could live with and thats where we are stuck.

What I really want is for the name to "match" the names we have already chosen. That's where you come in, if you have a few moments and want to cast your vote as to what name FITS the best that would be great!

Here they are, (in no particular order): Evan, Noah, Beau, Dylan, Samuel, & Luke.

Gees that's a hard one they are all so cute. I think that Evan, Noah and Dylan sound best with your other boys names. Good luck! No matter what the name is he will be one handsome fellow!

First of all, I don't know where I've been...but I didn't know you were expecting. CONGRATS! I remember you sitting on my couch pregnant with Seth...now you are having your 4th. That is awesome!
I would vote Luke. Good luck...and again, Congrats. :)

My vote is Dylan and I think it goes well with the other boy names. Congrats on #4!! How exciting. Time flies...and remember there is always #5 ;)

So funny. Your life and mine kind of parallel. I've always said that most of my boys' names were compromise names. Neither of our favorites - but good enough for both of us to agree on. Ben was Tom's favorite. He wanted that since before he met me. After that, I thought I'd have all these girls so I had a bunch of girl names picked out. Each boy threw me for a loop.
I knew an Evan in high school. He as smart and cool and really nice. Beau is a Southern name - and usually not the smartest of the boys. I knew a couple of Beaus in Texas. They were just as smart as the Bubbas. Just sayin'.;) (If you choose Beau, he's be a genius and will prove me wrong.)

My first choice is Luke but, I like Noah because my B-friend just named her little baby boy that. Any of those names are cute though.

My vote is for Noah or Dylan. Evan is too close to Owen. Beau? I've never heard of that--and don't really know if I like it. Samuel is cute, but Samuel VanCott is kind of a mouth full and Sam VanCott has too much aaa sound all together. Luke VanCott works.

Were you wanting that much opinion? :)

How did I not know you were having a boy! It has been way too long, obviously! I love the name Luke, for your little one coming. JMO.

I vote for Dylan. Dave must be insane for including Beau on his list. Congrats on the 4th little dude.

Evan is too close to Owen.
Beau...uhh, doesn't fit/match.
Samuel, again, doesn't match. It's 3 syllables, too long.
That leaves, Noah, Dylan and Luke. Dylan stands out to me, I like it. Then I'd choose Noah, then Luke.
Good luck! This is by far the hardest part of having a baby. :)

I say Dylan just because he is one of my own;-) LOVE the name and I'm updating the blog tomorrow don't worry. Dylan says that you need to name him Dylan and he will be the best example in the world for him!

I like Bubba...(per elena) and Samuel, only if you call him sammy when he's a baby...it matches so cute with sethers. You look super cute in the poker picture!

Hello! I finally have come to find you and I'm so glad I did. :)

Beau and Luke are two of my favorite names, we're (aka my husband and son) are obsessed with The Dukes of Hazzard and those are names that always get brought up when we talk babies over here. But my personal fav is Samuel. I just love the simplicity of Sam.

Congrats! I am kinda biased with the noah and sam -- but I have always liked the name luke. Jared had a cousin luke so he checked that off our list long ago. The naming is so fun. Can't wait to see what you guys decide on!

Amy said...

Hey Julie! My vote is for Luke or Dylan. All cute names though!

Love you guys. Mom VC, Barbie
