Oh what the hell, I might as well enjoy it. I was going to say we can only talk about names after Wed's LBC (live baby check) but you know what, I can't keep living in limbo, waiting and worrying about the 'what if'. I am going to TRY my best to enjoy this pregnancy. (Dear Jinx, I am not enticing you, I am being pragmatic rather than arrogant. Please don't punish me)
So, name that baby. The parameters:
- Must fit in with Adam and Kate
- Don't worry too much about fitting in with Albertyn because what the hell fits in with that anyway. Don't tell Marko I said that.
- We prefer short names. Like Adam and Kate.
- Not terribly fond of very modern or trendy names.
- Ben and Luke are out as they are the names of my other sons who passed away.
Fire away. I look forward to your suggestions. A smooch (with tongue) to the person who comes up with the winning name.
Jack!

I think I like Jack & Ethan the best. This website: http://www.name-a-baby.com/ will allow you to take all the first names you like and all the middle names you like and mix & match them.

Half the Canadian population aged two is Finn. It is also easy to yell across the heavens in frustration (when he turns two).

I like Sam - I think it fits well.

have you seen http://www.babynamewizard.com/blog?
she has a tool that suggests sibling names. her book is quite good.
it has U.S. statistics, but still could be informative to you.
i'm trying to be creative and do something related to the word seven, but coming up short. perhaps a name with 7 letters? Sven? Seth.
with adam and kate, i like owen 9(my 2nd son's name) as it's non-nicknameable.

how bout one of the names from Seven Brides for Seven Brothers? You clearly like the style ...
Adam, Benjamin, Caleb, Daniel, Ephriam, Frank (short for Frankincense) and Gideon.
I like the idea of Gideon, the 7th brother! And, I like both Caleb and Daniel. I have a friend with sons Adam and Daniel.

I googled for Adam and Kate to see what male names were most often mentioned alongside so that they "fit in".
The winners are:
Norman
Robert
Steve

We named our kid Sam. We thought a lot about Max too, but I think Sam would fit in beautifully.

Two favourites I never got to use and which are not too popular:
Rhys
Isaac

okay, late entry here.
My Son's name is Adam. If I had another, he would be Dane.
Goes with Adam, but not in a sing-song way. Not too trendy. Strong, but not soap-opra'ish?
Anyway!!!!! That's my 2 cents. Or is that 2-cent. Or 5-cent?
Wie-de-fok-weet.
Posted by: Pia | 03 December 2008 at 09:49 PM
too bad Sam is more of a girl's name there. It seems like it would fit perfectly.
Posted by: Julie | 04 December 2008 at 07:39 AM
Josh ?
Posted by: J | 04 December 2008 at 02:18 PM
I immediately thought John. Then no, Jack is better. Then I read the other comments and I also really like Max. Tom would be my next choice (or Tommy) and then Sean. Sam is okayish.
