Still No Name

Nope, we STILL don't know the name of our little guy who's going to be here in only 2 months. The clock is rapidly ticking, yet not much progress has been made. I'm really am trying here. I've looked through names on SO many baby name sites, I brainstorm boy names in my head day in and day out, I make lists, but to no avail. I pass the list onto Billy who crosses off 99% of them and hands it back. He's said no to Parker, Logan, Alex, Jackson, and many others.
Maybe we'll just go with Tyler's latest suggestion. Since he finally came to the realization that his baby brother really won't be named Tyler Nick Jr., he's been brainstorming ideas right along with me. His latest revelation? 100 Rex...has a nice ring to it, doesn't it? He said this would be the baby's "spicy name." Apparently anyone who would like admitance upstairs in Tyler's room needs a spicy name. AND, just for the record, "Mommy," "Daddy," and "Tyler" are all spicy names. "Allison," however, didn't make the cut. Where did we go wrong??? The poor girl has to use the name "100" as her spicy name. When I asked, "But I thought your baby brother's spicy name was 100?," he responded with, "No, my baby brother's spicy name is 100 Rex. Not just 100." The mind of a 4-year-old. He cracks me up!
Anyway, despite all the names Billy has rejected, he did like one new name suggestion. I know, I can't believe it either! So the latest possibility, that we both actually like, is Ryan. The only bad news is (if we even decide we want to use this name) we still need to come up with a middle name to go with it. Wish us luck!

In my family we have a Ryan William and a Zachary Ryan (both my nephews!). Ryan is a good name! Happy name hunting! I am very excited for you and can't wait to see pictures of the new addition to your beautiful family!

Tyler is a hoot! Here are some more suggestions: Grant, Morgan, Brigham, Noah, Connor...i don't know if any of them are "spicy" enough though.

Ok, Tyler really had me loughing out loud with this one! Spicy names? Rex 100? I love it! Do you have the book The Baby Name Wizard? It was by far my favorite when we were looking for names. It's not one of those huge ones. I got very overwhelemed by those. But it does have a very cool way or organizing the names. And it tells you what names you'd like based on others you like. For example, since you like Tyler, look that one up and see what names they have with it. Check it out and good luck!

Tyler, you have a brilliant imagination!! I'm so glad that my ("GRANDMA") name is spicy enough so that I can enter your cool "CARS" room. I'm so glad I asked about that cause I was worried and thinking "GRANDMA" might not have enough "SPICE" :) I LOVE YOU little guy. You are precious!! GRANDMA HAMBY
