What is your future son’s name?

I could take this a couple of different ways… so I’m listing all 3. :joy::joy:. They’re all in my top 5 and can see me picking any of the three of them for one reason or the other… and all are super meaningful.

[name_m]Caspar[/name_m] [name_m]Nathaniel[/name_m] [name_u]Eden[/name_u] - my favorite boys name this weekend… super special to me because it was the name (Caspar) a very good friend loved and she didn’t get to use it before she passed. It’s a [name_u]French[/name_u] [name_u]Christmas[/name_u] name, which my sister and I both also have a [name_u]French[/name_u] [name_u]Christmas[/name_u] name, and I have this lullaby I have reserved for my kids when I have them… it’s a sweet song I learned on the piano for our nursery aged class at church, and one day I had an extra large dose of baby fever, and was just singing it with some of my favorite names to see what if the names on my list felt right, and I legit started crying at the idea of having a little [name_m]Caspar[/name_m] to sing this lullaby to. Sometimes he feels too brave for me but he’s been close to my heart for years. If I had to pick just one of these three, today it’d be Caspar.

[name_m]Boaz[/name_m] [name_m]Andreas[/name_m] [name_m]Henry[/name_m] - I just think [name_m]Boaz[/name_m] is so cool and I’ve loved him for half a decade at least, if not longer. [name_m]Boaz[/name_m] honors my nana and sort of epitomizes my style to me? [name_m]Caspar[/name_m], [name_u]Rowan[/name_u], [name_u]Aquila[/name_u], and [name_u]Avery[/name_u] generally rank higher on my list of favorites but I do adore him and if I wanted a family name I’d go for [name_m]Boaz[/name_m] for sure. :heart:

[name_u]Avery[/name_u] [name_m]Ian[/name_m] [name_u]George[/name_u] - this is the most steady favorite on my list; it’s very nostalgic because [name_u]Avery[/name_u] comes from a story I grew up loving as a kid, and [name_u]Avery[/name_u] represents adventure and the best parts of what I hope my little boy will be one day—kind and wise and adventurous and loving. Plus, I adore [name_u]Avery[/name_u] with my tried-and-true favorite girls’ name, Isobel. :heart_eyes:

[name_u]Rowan[/name_u] and [name_u]Aquila[/name_u] are the other names on my top 5–I’m adoring [name_u]Aquila[/name_u] today but not sure he’s ready to overshadow [name_m]Caspar[/name_m] or [name_m]Boaz[/name_m] yet (maybe one day!), and [name_u]Rowan[/name_u] is a dear favorite but I’m not sure he feels as much me as [name_m]Caspar[/name_m], [name_m]Boaz[/name_m], and [name_u]Aquila[/name_u] do… at least today. :heart:
