More names.

Our list should be getting shorter but it's not. It's getting longer. And more ridiculous.
Again, I won't mention who likes which names but you can probably determine who likes what just based on their appropriateness for our racial makeup (although in his defense Ben does have a Portuguese side - De Veirera) or just general appropriateness:

Dale
Blake
Carlos
Hawk
Ian
Javier (pretty sure this is on the other list but someone wanted it again)
Kanoa
Neil
Quentin
Rocco
Roscoe
Theophilus
Walker
Lance
Diego
Shlomo
Shelomi (which we would pronounce to rhyme with Salami)

If this baby knows what is good for him he'll arrive before we have a chance to have the name conversation again.


Notes from the previous list:
* Jaquiz is actually supposed to be spelled Jacquizz. Which of course is much better.
** Lysurgus is a family name suggested by Ben's dad - who is apparently as gifted in the baby naming dept. as his son. Paolo is also a family name. So is Reed.
*** And Tarah - Ben's mom also suggested Jerome, but we never thought of the Jr. thing. Since Jerome does come up as an alias on our credit report why not!

Other baby-naming notes:
- Aunt Brittany suggested Diego. Apparently she's on Ben's side.
- My mom has suggested Kip and Coe. Cute. And African.
- One time I found a handwritten piece of paper - the back of a floral arrangement card actually (from his dad and three older brothers in celebration of Ben's birth) - that had Ben's mom's list of potential names for Ben...I mean Benjamin (he was never supposed to be just Ben). The names included Beau, Spencer, Quinn, Boyd...and some others I can't remember right now. I wish I could find that paper.
- I could have been a Danielle or Piper.
