Now we need a name...

...and so the list begins. Unfortunately, everyone wants to know what we're thinking, even this early in the game. Yet we don't want any particular name to "stick" yet. For instance, if we said we were thinking of naming the baby Helium, then everyone would start calling him Helium. Suddenly it's "Helium this" and "Helium that." Everyone would think of him as Helium.

And so what would happen if, when he was born, we took one look at him and decided the he obviously should be named Mallard? Awkward!

So let's get the name game started. Below is a list of names, in no particular order, that we've come up with or that have been suggested to us. We'd appreciate possible name choices from you, as well; simply add them as comments at the bottom. Remember that the name should go with our surname, Jeffrey. Thanks.

Basil, Jacob, Nimrod, Dylan, Poe, Godfrey, Rabbit, Rocco, Bud, Liam, Jellyroll, Geoffrey, Cullen, Andrew, Humerus, Opie, Pippin, Jeter, Finn, Evan, Heinrich, Genghis, Donne, Ethan, Felony, Riff Raff, Gavin, Jack, Babyboy...

I like your name list so far!! I like the double J sound too... this one just came to me though - what about Nathan? Nate Jeffrey sounds cute. John Jeffrey would be kinda cool too, and especially meaningful!

Love,
