A couple of weeks ago, my wife and I learned the gender of our baby that’s due in April. A boy! We had been discussing baby names for both boys and girls, but now that we know we’re expecting a strapping lad, the search is on for the right boy name! I thought to myself, “there are sooo many great names, this will be a piece of cake!”. I’ve never been more wrong. Here’s how one conversation went:
Me: “How about Brandon?”
Jenni: (making an annoyed face) “No, I knew a Brandon in school. He was a jerk”.
Me: “Okay, then…Chase!”
Jenni: “YOU WANT TO NAME OUR SON AFTER A BANK?!”
Me: “What about Jagger?”
Jenni: (blank stare) “Like Mick Jagger? Why don’t we just name our son Axl like Axl Rose”.
Me: “YES! Axl is a great name! Strong, confident boy!”
Jenni: (blank stare has now turned to exhausted) “I was kidding…come on Greg, THINK!”
So right now we’re hitting a wall. We put a grease board on the refrigerator and Jenni came up with the idea that we can write any name on it, but the other person can eliminate it if they’re not crazy about it. Why do I have a feeling that most of mine will be axed. Just to mess with Jenni, I’m going to add names to the board like Hannibal or Goliath.
