After how repetitive and needy I’ve been on here throughout this pregnancy, I figured I should share what the naming outcome ultimately was for our third baby boy.

[name\_m]Warren[/name\_m] and Clyde’s little brother surprised us by coming two weeks early at 1:32 am [name\_f]Sunday[/name\_f].

I had just finally thrown together a hospital bag earlier that day and the car seat still wasn’t installed when we abruptly left for the hospital. We still thought we’d spend a few more weeks mulling over our “hospital list” of names!  
After spending a day in the hospital torn between several, we went with a combo that was never even really on our list- [name\_m]Cecil[/name\_m] [name\_m]Dale[/name\_m].

[name\_m]Clifford[/name\_m] [name\_m]Dale[/name\_m] had more or less been our top contender and what we assumed we would choose. [name\_m]Clifford[/name\_m] also had the advantage of using the honor name [name\_m]Dale[/name\_m] with it, whereas we didn’t love [name\_m]Dale[/name\_m] in the middle spot with most of our other possibilities. [name\_m]Cecil[/name\_m] really didn’t feel like a very strong contender going into it, but for some reason as I was sitting up in the dark wee hours with him after delivery, [name\_m]Cecil[/name\_m] kept standing out to me and [name\_m]Clifford[/name\_m] just felt a little forced. We spent the next day debating and agreed that it felt like [name\_m]Clifford[/name\_m] felt like the “safer” option because it was the one we had mutually agreed on and simmered with for the longest. But [name\_m]Cecil[/name\_m] inexplicably felt the most natural when we were holding him.

Most of the [name\_m]Cecil[/name\_m] combos on our list had been either longer or a little more out there, like [name\_m]Cecil[/name\_m] [name\_m]Zebedee[/name\_m] or [name\_m]Cecil[/name\_m] [name\_m]Augustine[/name\_m].  
We kept coming back around to having a hard time letting go of [name\_m]Clifford[/name\_m] because we liked the idea of using [name\_m]Dale[/name\_m] in the middle spot. Despite initially not loving [name\_m]Dale[/name\_m] with any of our other options, we spent a while trying [name\_m]Cecil[/name\_m] [name\_m]Dale[/name\_m] and it quickly just felt “right” for him.

I still feel a little in disbelief that we put a name down on a birth certificate… and that we had a baby because that was sort of a wild story. 🤪 But I am relieved to say that now that he is here in our arms, we found an option that feels like “him”. I truly can’t picture him being anything other than [name\_m]Cecil[/name\_m]!

[name\_f]Lovely[/name\_f] choice! [name\_m]Cecil[/name\_m] [name\_m]Dale[/name\_m] feels very you and I love that you kept [name\_m]Dale[/name\_m].

I love hearing that your intuition lead you to your son’s name once you were holding him in your arms. If only we knew that would happen ahead of time.

Congratulations on your son’s arrival and another handsome choice!
