What’s in a name?  Everything!  Your child will not only be called by his name for years to come but also judged by countless numbers of people!  My husband and I recently found out that we’re having a boy.  We are so excited, but we can’t seem to agree on names.  Of course, if the baby would have been a girl, we were already decided.  But now, we have to somehow come to an agreement on a boy’s name.  He likes some strange (and horrible) names.  No, not unique, because I like unique names.  I was named after a Fleetwood Mac name, for heaven’s sake.  But strange names.  Okay, okay, his top choice is Oliver.  I’ll give you a moment to grimace.  But that is nothing to Woodruff (Woody).  He claims I have an immature mind, but tell me that kids will not make fun of our son!  I’m not dirty, I’m realistic!  And if you still don’t know what I’m talking about, you’re the only one.  Anyway, I know I shouldn’t stress about it too much because I will not let these catastrophes happen.  I am not exactly set on a name, but I like the name Reed as of right now.  And you know, I think my husband does too, he just likes to get me riled up.  So what I am trying to say is that if we are already having such a hard time deciding on a name for our baby, I can’t wait to see what else we won’t agree on.  Good luck to us in raising this baby!
