We just found out that we are expecting our 5th, yes FIFTH B.O.Y\u2026wowzers! I LOVE playing the name game and thoroughly enjoyed picking out GIRLS names for the first 10 weeks of the pregnancy\u2026but alas, we need another boy name! I am now 33 weeks along and we still have no name! This is especially hard because we usually are great name pickers! We actually picked our #5 child\u2019s name the day our #4 child was born, so with it being this late in the pregnancy is really hard for me. I feel like having a name helps me bond with the baby during pregnancy and without it I\u2019m struggling. <\/p>\n
My husband and I are Eric and Erica Johnson and we are a blended family with \u201cour\u201d 3rd on the way. The older 3 children are from my previous marriage, but they all live with us. The children\u2019s names are<\/p>\n
Perry Thomas B. (13)<\/p>\n
Parker Logan B. (12)<\/p>\n
Libby McClairen B. (9\u00bd)<\/p>\n
Corban Joseph J. (2\u00bd)<\/p>\n
Clayt Daniel J. (18m)<\/p>\n
Baby boy J. due 12\/15\/10<\/p>\n
All but one child (Parker Logan) has a family name, or a family inspired name (meaning we have a really long story how I got from my dad\u2019s name Clayton to McClairen for my daughter\u2019s middle name\u2026.but to me it is the inspiration more than the exact name that matters) <\/p>\n
It is important to me that the meaning of the names have no negative meanings and its important to me that we find the closest meaning based on etymology rather than \u201cbaby-naming\u201d websites that like to flower up some of the less desirable meanings. We are word of faith Christians, and its really important to me that we are speaking nothing negative about our child every time we call his name! I would really like this baby\u2019s name to reflect that he is appointed, a gift, a reward or something with that kind of meaning. I\u2019ve been dealing with a bit of disappointment (as much as I don\u2019t want to be but I was so hopeful for a girl this time around)<\/p>\n
Our 2 youngest children\u2019s middle names are family names but we are pretty much out of male names\u2026we are a family surrounded with females! Hubby\u2019s father is Joseph Daniel (hubby is Eric Joseph) It really bugs me to not have a family name, but to \u201cforce\u201d the issue seems to be no good either.<\/p>\n
Possible Middle names:<\/p>\n
Eric- haven\u2019t run it by hubby but with the right first name he might go for it<\/p>\n
Ray- I don\u2019t like it much for the sound of the name, but it is a family name (my dad\u2019s middle name, and my DH great grandpa\u2019s first name) Coming from the name Raymond, it means Advice protector\u2026Downside\u2026.my sister used the name for her daughter (who is 2 years old) and we are close\u2026So maybe another name with the name \u201cray\u201d with in it\u2026.though Raymond doesn\u2019t really ring my bell either! UGH\u2026<\/p>\n
Since we are running low on family names, a known biblical name might be an easier route (I\u2019ve looked through nearly all of them by meaning and picked out a nice long list of instant vetos\u2026<\/p>\n
I like Eli or Elijah for a middle name, because I felt God used a baby named Eli to help prepare my heart for this son. DH hasn\u2019t vetoed or approved the name<\/p>\n
The few first names that we have on the still considering list\u2026but none really feel like they fit\u2026.<\/p>\n
Names I\u2019ve suggested (all have meanings that \u201cpass\u201d)<\/p>\n
Ramsey \u2013 my favorite but DH doesn\u2019t like names that end with and \u201cey\u201d sound.
Gentry Foster
Foster Eli<\/p>\nNames DH has suggested<\/p>\n
Roman
Titus
Lock(e)
Given
Wyatt \u2013 DH current like, but \u201cmeh\u201d\u2026if you ask me and I don\u2019t like the meaning.<\/p>\nThanks for your help!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
