So, with this little boy inside of me kicking and punching like Jackie Chan, I'd like to have a name to call him so that I can tell him specifically to knock it off some days. I had an initial list that I started when we found out it was a boy, and Jonny's job has been to add/delete names to the list until we can narrow it down. Here's my "issue." I have had so many students in the past that create negative connotations in my head about their name that we're limited. So... here's our list, past and present. Ones that are in all CAPITALS are ones that are still on the list. Ones that have an (*) asterick are ones that Jonny has contributed to the cause. All of those that are written in upper and lower case letters have been vetoed by either Jon or me.
SAMUEL (SAM)
BENAIAH (BEN)
NICHOLAS (NICK)
RYDER
RYAN*
JUDAH
Ezra
Reid
Parker
Brennan
Jordan*
Joshua*
Then... of course, we've had a lot of people give suggestions as to what we should name him. These include some plausible names and some (that I'm hoping) are just for fun... I figured I'd even open it up to those facebook friends of mine who would like to put in their two cents. Here is the extended list. (Not saying that we're actually using or even considering some of these... but I thought it would be fun.)
Mufasa Bryce
Kyler Mason
Dwight Allister
Finnigan Bo
Klae Jude
Angelo Liam
BJ Charlie
Skylar Jade
Henry Isaiah
Caleb Graham
Elijah Garrett
Kade Isaac
Evan Josiah
Patrick Micah
Cole Jackson
Noah Griffin
Keenan Makmud
Gavin Harry
Logan Colton
Britton Norman
Everett Tanyon
Zechariah Duncan
Champ
Let me know what you think. You can respond to this post or to my facebook page or email account : mculbertson@ltdkate.com :) This should be fun...
I like Ryder the most from the list that you two made. As far as from others I do really like Bryce, Noah, and of course Jude and Liam :) Best of luck finding the perfect name for your little boy!!
ReplyDeleteMandy...I had the same issue when picking our little guy's name. I knew what I wanted to name a girl from the beginning, and that never changed. However, when considering boy names, I had a tough time b/c of former students. In fact, Owen was almost a Ryan...loved the name, as did Dan...but that particular semester, I had a Ryan in class who was just super immature and obnoxious. The name got crossed off the list :) Some of yours are some we considered too...love Liam, Noah, Patrick, and Nicholas. Good luck deciding!
