If you have a lot of children you are going to laugh at me, but I’m having a hard time deciding on a name for our baby boy. We’ve already named 3 boys with our favorite names and our list has run out.
There are so many nice names that we can’t use because we have a large family and a large circle of friends that have taken dibs. So Seth, Sean, Isaac, Jacob, John, Peter, Paul, and pretty much anything starting with J aren’t available.
I’ve made it a matter of prayer and will continue to do so. I’m sure the Lord will answer when the time is right. But it will feel so nice to have something to call our cuddly little bundle while we wait to meet him. And in the mean time it’s fun to look at names.
Here’s a list of some that Darren and I can agree on, though none of them really grab us. Do you have any opinions? The last name is Coffman if that helps you hear the music of it. How about pairings of first and middle names?
And here’s a couple of photo of what all our babies pretty much look like, though these are Brandon. They are generally big and fat (around 9 lbs) with loads of dark hair and poochy lips, lol. I really like our babies. Though the sono tech says this one is smallish so far. That would be a unusual and since I’m pretty sure on our dates I’m hoping that they were a little off on their measurements and that everything is okay with baby.

My middle child is a son named Barrett (German: strength of a bear). We do get a lot of people asking us to repeat it (or older ppl thinking we said Garrett) but it totally suits him. His nicknames are Bear-bear or just Baer. If we ever have another boy we like Alexander James (after my husband James … Alexander) but we would called him Xander for something a little different.
We used to have a long list of boys names we both agreed on, but I can’t remember most of them now! We always have trouble with girls names and if we ever have a third girl I may be stumped!
My husband and I named our son Gabriel and I absolutely love it still. It’s a strong name and also biblical.
