Hi!

While we decided on John for our son, that name is after my husband's uncle, who passed away shortly after we decided to adopt.

Prior to deciding on John, I had my heart set on Declan - which, of couse, my husband hated! I like unusual names, my husband tends to lean toward the traditional.

Good luck with this fun decision!

We named our son...

Treyson Josef

Treyson means "the third son". While he is not our third son, he is our son and our third child...so we thought it fit.

Josef is the feminine form of his birth mother's name to honor her.

We had a tough time deciding on a name also but we finally settled on Aiden. We also considered Jonah.

Boy Names

We are deciding on boy names right now as well. I posted about a week ago and got a lot of lovely suggestions. (Thanks everyone.) You might want to search the forum for the thread...

Also I am finding a popular naming book really helpful right now. Instead of just listing names and meanings the author breaks the names into different catagories like "Classic" "Timeless" "Little ladies and gentlemen" etc. This has definitely helped us work together a little better because it turns out that my spouse and I like different types of names but also have catogories that we agree on. This has narrowed the search a little. Still no name chosen yet but getting closer.

PM me if you are interested in the book title!!

Good luck with your naming process. I love to see what each of us on the forum finally decide.

Our boy names were Korbin, Karver, Kenton, Keegan, and Kenley. Had Kemry been a boy, I think we were set on either Korbin Methias or Korbin James.

My son's name is Logan Anthony and I love it. There aren't a lot of Logan's at his school, which is nice.

Wellll... I like Jacob
DS is named Jacob Grant (and his Birthmother's last name is his 2nd middle name - that also starts with a G - so it was perfect to add it)
He doesn't go by Jake - he is definitely a Jacob.

BTW... he has been the only Jacob in his class for the past two years and we don't know hardly any Jacob's his age. I worried it would be such a popular name, but it really isn't - at least around where we live.
And I love the biblical tie to Jacob in the bible!

PS When he first started talking, he called himself "Jay-Pub" I loved it and I was so sad the day he called himself Jacob.
