As you know, Tarzan and I have been going back and forth discussing various boy names that we can name our baby. I never expected how tough this would be! I always thought that picking a name would be one of the most exciting parts about being pregnant, but honestly, it isn’t all that exciting. It is more complicated than anything!
Of course our baby had to be a boy, right? See, he’s already making things difficult for us! Just kidding… but we did have a girl’s name picked. Just sayin’.
It seems like every name I’ve thrown out has been vetoed by his husband, especially the names I’ve thrown out during this second trimester. It reminds him of someone he went to school with in 3rd grade. It sounds too biblical. Or he just plain doesn’t like it. There has been something wrong with every single boy name that I’ve thrown his way.
Until now. Well, actually a few weeks ago after we found out the sex from the big ultrasound.
It had gotten to the point where I was just throwing out any boy name I could think of. I didn’t even necessarily love it. I just wanted to rule out others until we possibly got to the right one. Well, I said one name and I actually liked it. To my surprise, Tarzan didn’t mind it then and we decided that we would put it in the running for THE name.
Since then we have not come up with any other names and I’m fine with that. In fact, THE name has become a favorite of mine and I really, really like it for our son. And I’m pretty sure that Tarzan feels the same way because…
The other day he came home and said, “You know I really like xyz and I think it would be perfect.”
Yesterday when I went to run errands, he kissed me goodbye and kissed my belly and said, “Goodbye xyz“.
This morning when he woke up, he kissed me and my belly and started talking to him, using THE name.
Hmm…
I think we found our boy name!!!
Of course we don’t have a middle name yet but we still have tons of time. 128 days to be exact. And if my aunt tells me one more time how I have to use either my dad’s first or middle name, I will scream. Totally different story for another post though.
So that’s my exciting news for you. We have a boy name (at least right now we do)!
Of course, I’m taking the advice that many of you have given me and we aren’t telling just yet! I don’t know if we’ll tell our families or friends before he makes his entrance to the world even. I like having it a secret only between me and T…
But you can always try to get it out of us!

I am also due in July with my second girl. We had boy names picked out this time around-- both agreed on them, and loved them. well..when we found out we were having a girl, we thought--crap! we don't have any girl names that we both liked! I bought another baby name book & we have both been combing through it. My husband has his favorites & keeps poo pooing all of my name suggestions. I think he has to get his way this time! We kept our baby's name a secret with baby #1 (which i am going to do again with this baby--once we decide on what to call her!).
