Hello! We are expecting our second son this September 13, and are completely baffled as to what this little child’s name should be. Last go-round, it was easy. We named our first son Emerson immediately, and that was it. Now we find that, strangely, little girls have started appearing with the same name as boy #1. We still love his name and it totally suits him, but if we can exclude names also used for girls, it would be nice.<\/p>\n
My husband’s last name (and the last name of our kiddos) is Adcock. We both loved the name Pierce until we realized that Pierce Adcock would probably be called Prince Albert all of his life. We also like Arlo, but aren’t 100% sold on it. We love literary names (hence Emerson) and names related to music, but are open to other suggestions. We want to use a family name as a middle name, which will probably end up being James or Douglas. Here are our finalists:<\/p>\n
Beckett
\nAuden
\nWhitman
\nMiles
\nArcher
\nElliott
\nEverett
\nGriffin<\/p>\n
I think that, honestly, if we used any of these names, we’d probably be happy, but we just can’t decide! Also, are some of these names becoming trendy or possibly used for girls? We are open for suggestions as well. Help us, Swistle!<\/p>\n
Thank you!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
\nI think we need a poll! I’ll put it over to the right! (Poll closed; see results below.)<\/p>\n

Name update!<\/strong> Alexis writes:<\/p>\n Our baby boy arrived last week and, true to form, we dithered until the last possible minute. We had it narrowed down to three names, but when the birth certificate lady came in to give us an ultimatum on the last day in the hospital, my husband and I agreed on a name at the same time. Eliot James is a lovely big boy, and we are really grateful to everyone for helping us choose the perfect name for him!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Alexis writes: Hello!
