Thoughts on baby names. . .

Some of you have asked about baby names, and the response we've been giving is that we're still thinking about it. Well, we ARE still thinking about things, but we are pretty sure we will call him Jacob. We don't know about middle names yet. We have considered Jacob Wayne, which isn't too awkward and seems to fit fairly well (and Wayne is Josh's mother's father's name and also Josh's middle name), but that would make the baby's initials JWF, which are the same as Josh's. . . not sure if we want that or not.

So we will see. : ) We definitely like more traditional or Biblical names, with traditional spellings, and we like boy names that no one would ever confuse with a girl's name. We are thinking a monosyllabic name will fit best, although we are not totally ruling out 2- or 3-syllable names, if it really fits. (And no, unfortunately "Jacob Spartacus" doesn't quite seem to fit. . . )

Any thoughts? Send us a dollar and we'll consider your suggestion! ; )

  1. I don't have a dollar for you, but I like Andrew a lot. Or Jingleheimer, but then his first name would have to be John Jacob, and his last name would need to be Schmidt. So never mind.
