We did the big gender reveal thing today.
Oh. You want to know too?
Ok.
Remember this commercial? Totally doing this after the birth:
Yes, sir. I have a little dude in there. We are so happy. Me because I would be happy with anything; Mike because he is already fantasizing about all of the cool toys he gets to play with. Now we are working on names. We haven’t the slightest. What did you name your son(s)? Tell me please. I’d love to steal it.
And, just for good measure, here is our guy. I’ll spare you the details. He’s got all the right parts.
ingredients: snakes, snails, puppy dog tails
Oh Boy!!!!!!! xoxoxoxo
Hi Mima! xo
I call future dibs on Lucas
Congratulations to you, Mike, and big sister Ellen!
Thanks! And, you can have yourself a Lucas. I already have an awesome nephew with that name!
Congratulations:) Boys are awesome, I have six;) and five brothers, and 6 b-i-ls.
Not sure of your tastes in names, we like more unusual Catholic names, so my boys are: Dominic, Xavier, Malachi, Saxon, Ignatius and Sebastian. Middle names are more evergreeen (mostly) Francis, Michael, Joseph, Patrick, James and Vianney.
Thanks! And, I might have to hit you up for boy advice with all of that testosterone around :) It’s funny you say that too. We are pretty much the same in that. We like lesser used, strong names, and for middle names, we like to chose a family member :)
my boys are Zachary and Simon!
Both strong names :) I love Simon! You don’t hear it a lot anymore!
so exciting congrats
Thanks so much!
Congrats to you!! Boys are the best :) I have an Isaac and a Noah (we like Old Testament names apparently…)
We do too!
I love Bible names or family names. I never went with popular names but stayed away from odd names. My sons: Frank Joseph, Timothy Daniel and Alexander Brian. Parker is a good name too! My maiden name is Frank. Have fun and God bless!
I love those names too! We definitely want strong, Biblical names :)
Michael for first or middle name. :-)
I don’t know if Mike would go for first, but maybe middle?
YAY, so exciting!
Congratulations!!
Thanks, Ana!
So exciting! Congratus to you and your family! :) No kids, but my favorite boy names are Joshua and Benjamin!
My husband loves Joshua, and I love Benjamin. It gets tricky when friends and family get at them first!
Congratulations, now you have the perfect family..
We always have :)
Congrats! My son is Matthew Michael
Thank you :)
Yay! My first nephew!!! My votes are Henry and James since I love those names and can’t use them myself. ;-). Kim, you are funny calling dibs!
We are loving James still. Is it too Ssss-y?
That’s a tough one. I think the sss’s makes it sound like it goes together, but I could see it from the otherhand too.
I never thought of it like that…hmmm…
I have a friend with a little Henry. Henry Daniel Hines.
Ok the name is set haha
Congratulations! Happy for you guys!
Thank you :)
Boys are awesome!! I am the lucky mom to four of them. The boy names in our family are John-Paul, Andrew, Eamon, and Alexander. Their boy cousins are: John, Liam, Brogan, PJ, Ryan, Tommy, William, Gavin, and Finn. We like some good Irish names :)
Irish? I’ll say! Very strong names; those are my favorite kind :)
Yay!!! Boys are so fun!!!! You know my kids names so I won’t bore you with telling you again;) BUT I really loved Asher for a boy. It means happiness :)
Asher. I like that. It’s very strong, just like the rest of your boys :)
Congrats on your little man! And thanks for the blast from the past with the commercial.
Thanks! And, it was one of my faves, and now I can’t get it out of my head!
My son is Micah. I still love that name 17 years later!
We love that too! We are only worried that Michael and Micah might get confusing ;)
Yea! So happy for you both! Obviously…no boy…but I love the names Thadius and Mathius. David is not a fan of either. It might break ss rule, but I thunk Thad is a very different nickname. Good luck!
I agree! My friend’s dad’s name is Thaddeus, and we call him Thad the Dad.
I have has 2 residents named Thaddeus. Nickname was Ted
A boy! Huge congrats!
Our sweet boy is ten months old and his name is Callum.
He was very almost Finnlay.
Or Jude.
Or Jack.
Mostly he is ‘little man’ or bubba, Cal or Cally.
And we loooove him to bits!
Those are all great names! I can’t wait to have a little dude too :)
Congratulations!!! With our little guy, we went traditional Catholic for first name (Peter) and a little crazy, but biblical for the middle name (Melchizedek).
I love that! Now I have that song in my head from church :)
I have 4 boys: Joshua, Jordan, Joel and Jameson. And yes, all “J” names. All the men in my husband’s family have the same initials: JMC. That’s what I had to work with. Sigh.
haha, those are some strict requirements :) It could stand for Joseph, Mary and Christ though…so they are in good company!
