BBB

You people crack me up. It's been so much fun reading everyone's suggestions for naming BBB (Baby Boy B.). Unfortunately, a lot of the names suggested are not options because we have close friends/family members/friends' dogs (Cooper) with those names. I made a big list of all the remaining ones, plus a few of my own, and gave it to Matt. He started slashing. When he hnaded it back to me, here's what was on it:

Aaron
Thomas
Evan
Daniel

Gee, thanks for giving me something to work with, honey. We have since added a somewhat improbable name to the list--Hudson. I am reading a book with a character named Hudson, and I mentioned it, SURE that Matt would say it was too "cool", but surprisingly he likes it. This from the man who thinks Preston is too cutting edge.

Anyway, no decisions have been made yet. The way this pregnancy is flying by, we'll probably be sitting at home the night before the c-section feeling like we forgot something and realize that we forgot to pick a NAME. We really may just wait to see him to decide, though I'm pretty sure I have several friends and family members (hi, mom) who would have gigantic hissy fits about that.

Thanks for everyone's input. I got 38 comments--a record for AMENMom! I'm sure a major syndicate is preparing to offer me a paid blogging gig after that coup. Keep up the good work!

PS. Nub is not an option. Sorry Rich.

Just curious... Why did Noah get marked off? That one had grown on me.

Matt said...

Oh! And you put your last name in that post: "Baby Boy Bunch." I'm telling Matt on you!

Thanks for the heads up Matt--I deleted it. Forget my own rules sometimes :) Matt just marked Noah off the list--not sure why. We have a friend with a Noah and a cousin, but I don't know if that's the reason.

Oop that was me....Michelle :)

I never commented. I like Austin. I didn't see it on the list. Have you considered Austin Matthew B....? By the way your last name is in a post here too. Careful people! :)

Cori said...

FYI... I love the name Hudson, but I can never use it because - like Matt B. - Matt F. doesn't like trendy names. I think that would be too trendy for my Matt's tastes! So, I LOVE IT!!!

Aidan and Zachary said...

Ohhh...I like Hudson. Also, Holden is a good one to consider.

Eugene Matthew (after your grandmother!)

Matt said...

I don't like Hudson... It's not even really a first name, let alone a trendy one. It just makes me think of Tyler Hudson, who was a character on "Matlock."

Melanie said...

Since y'all like Hudson, have you considered Houston? I know you still love Coach Nutt. :)

You could also consider Austin, Dallas, and Tex (I used to teach with a coach named JayDon whose sons were named RoyDon and Tex....those are right up your ally right?) :)

My vote is still for Aaron, but I do like Hudson. We have a friend with a Hudson, and they call him mostly "Hud". If you do Hudson, it can be "HAMEN" or "AH-MEN" or "MANHE" . . . Oh, wait . . .:)

I am still taking this quest very seriously. I have a few that I'm chewing on.

LindaM said...

are you ever going to blog again.....? just asking for the second time- let's see if you really read these messages!

LindaM said...

ok, you blogged more when you worked out of the house than since you have stopped working! what's up with that?

L said...

Since "Preston" isn't out, but that would leaves the kids initials as "APE", what about Weston? Then the kids initials would be "AWE"... course, not chronologically. Then you could name the blog AWEMen!

Your "B" name is littered all over the blog...just so ya know.
