Help Dana and I name our little Butterball! Butterball is soon to be our latest addition to the family. He was confirmed as a boy at our last ultra sound and is due November 26th. Thanksgiving. Hence the nick name Butterball. Here are the contenders so far:
Updated July 23rd: Blake is back in the running!
Updated July 28th: Shane and Kyle are out.
Adam
Blake
Brent
Chase
Jackson
Joel
Kyle
Ryan
Shane
Tyler
Any other ideas out there?

I like Kyle.

Chase would be appropriate. If he’s anything like Logan, we’ll be chasing him around.
How about Evan? or Max?

What no Jackson… Just kidding. I personally like the name Ryan, but here’s my two cents… I was talking to my father-in-law’s buddy on Sunday and we were discussing name for obvious reasons, and he was telling us about how he picked his two kid’s names. He told us that it is his belief that as parent we have a Biblical responsibility to charge our children with names that will help define them. For example he used the first name and the middle name together to form the “theme/foundation” for the child. So lets say that Brent means Strong and Frank means faith/faithful the name Brent Frank xxxxx would mean strong in faith. Now there’s a completely different issue here in regards to if names actually have any impact on how a person turns out to be. (I’m Asorry; I just got distracted by your “popular tags” ball moving thingy… That’s really cool…) I know I liked the thought behind this. Jess and I were looking at names on an individual basis, but when you think about combining them and using them to compliment each you will truly realize that you have no idea what to name your child…

Well, since he is due on my birthday, I say that Jeremy is a great name. Or Micah. Heuslein might be a little weird as a first.

Make that one more vote for Jeremy. My birthday is technically July 17th but I’ll change it to November 26th if you go for the name.

I like Blake, for sure.
…and Heuslein would definitely be a weird first name…

I like:
Sean
Victor (we already had the convo why lol)
Aaron
Anthony (Tony)
I agree, no Jackson and no Tyler (I’m assuming Dana told you why no Tyler haha)

I like Chase–I think it’s modern but not too modern. Jeremy is nice too, but I think Pete has a point about making sure that the name means something…
