Choosing names...
I never knew choosing names can be quite a task.
There were so many 'criterias' to think of:
1) A name that everyone will pronounce correctly and not come out something embarrasing
2) A name that is not too common, like Jason, Roy, John, Dick, Harry
3) A name that has both our initials in it
4) A name that we can link to call our next child
And so name-storming started as early as June when we confirmed that our baby is going to be a prince! :D I searched on websites, books, magazines, combed from letter A-Z and Z-A. I couldn't find a nice name to call our baby. :(
We did short-list a few names but we haven't really fixed on any yet.
Ethan - Because Ethan Hawke is so damn CUTE la!
Damon - Matt Damon also not bad!
Elliott - Meaning: Lord is my God
Jethro - Meaning: Outstanding, Excellent
Brayden - Meaning: Brave. But Zoe called her son that, so forget it
Jayden - Meaning: God has heard
Kaeden - Meaning: Companion
I was torn between Ethan & Jayden at first. Jayden so people can call him Jay for short. But we wanted to link the name if our next child is a gal. So Kaeden came into mind. And we can call our gal Kaelyn. :)
Well, still thinking... ...
