TaDa...

Finally, got a name for our new little man! Brady Richard!!

Brady is just a name we like, Richard is for a friend of DH's who passed away of cancer a few years back. Mark really wanted to honor him and I totally agree, he was a great man and died way too young.

Our other choices were Sawyer and Brody. I was really torn at one point, I really wanted each of them. I finally nixed Sawyer when people told me about the character on Lost, which we are not Lost fans and that isn't where we got the name from. Still it sort of started to irk me so I dropped it, Mark never liked Sawyer so he was thrilled.

Then with Brody, I really loved Brody, and was really really tempted. But my very immature sister said if we named him that she was going to call him Grody Brody for his entire life. I figured since she has the maturity of an 8 year old kid I might want to listen to her... ;) Of course that wasn't the only reason I change my mind, what also helped was when I read in my Baby Name Wizard book that Brody was quickly turning into a popular female name. I HATE that, I hate when people name their little girls with boy names! I met a little girl named Karter a few months backed, I wanted to slap that mama! Seriously, just cause you change the spelling does NOT make it a girl name!

Then we threw another name into the mix, Wesley Richard. DH loves this name, me not so much. Sounds too whiny to me but we decided to keep it as our back up name.

So after much debating we settled on Brady Richard. I'm already in love with every bit of this little guy! I can't wait to meet him!
