Name that baby!

I hate naming children. We just got super lucky with Carolyn. For some reason, I knew what I wanted, Jeremy agreed, and it was settled. Her birth announcement was mostly finished at least two months before I delivered.

This baby? No idea. I just don't like names in general. For awhile, it was all my issue. Jeremy had a list, I vetoed the whole thing and had nothing I liked to offer in return. Then I came across a name I liked. Jeremy and I talked about it. We were mostly decided. And then my cousin named her new boy that same thing. Everyone says that it doesn't matter, but...I don't know. I'm weird like that.

Then like two weeks ago, I came across another name I liked. The more I thought about it, the more it sounded nice. Then Jeremy shot it down. But I kept hoping he would just come around. You know, I could be in labor, tell him that's the only name I like, and he would have to agree. Of course, I find out that a friend due the week before me has decided to name her baby that. Now I will never get Jeremy to agree.

So, we need help. This baby is due in four weeks. I personally am hoping for only 2.5 weeks more of pregnancy. It's looking like we'll just follow Carolyn's lead and call him baby brother for the rest of his life.

Although there is no guarantee we will use any of these, input is always appreciated.
