Names

[mamalove]

I think it is now between those two. (Although my husband still really wants to name him Toby Keith.)

I think we have also chosen Simeon for the middle name. I'm due on Valentine's Day, but since it will probably ba a c-section and he is a big boy, I'm going to see if they will be ready to take him out on the Feast of the Presentation (Feb. 2)

I feel a very strong devotion to St. John the Apostle because he was there with Our Mother during the Passion of our Lord and would like to honor him by naming our child after him.

On the other hand, I know my Daddy would just be proud as a peacock if we named him after his grandpa. It would really mean a lot to him and he also isn't the healthiest of people.

I could use one name as a first name and one as a middle name, but would like to keep one open for another future boy name. We've kinda developed a pattern.

John

[Thy Geekdom Come]

James...make your father happy first and if God graces you with another boy, name him John, which will honor John. If God intends the for St. John to be honored through your son's name, then He'll probably give you another son, since you'd be naming him James out of a loving action and not one to spurn the name John.


I also like the name James better...it's my middle name (as far as the Church is concerned...long story...)

[DancesforLove]

I would go with James for your father!

[Theoketos]

His name is James, after your father, and the lesser Apostle, so the Child will both; grow in humility and share my name, as far as the Church is concerned (short story)

[theculturewarrior]

I've always been a Cnut man.

[Theoketos]

If not James, then Thor, is a good name!

[BeenaBobba]

Name him James.

God bless,

Jen

[livingHimloud]

i have met a lot of really awsome gentlemen named james, so i'm partial to that. all the john's i have come in contact with aren't nearly as niffty (sorry to any johns out there who are especially niffty, i need to meet you)

[DancesforLove]

I agree with you livinghimaloud

The Johns I've known have been less that cool people and all the James are good. I mean come on, Harry Potters fathers name was James

hehehe If you have a daughter name her lilly rofl

[cathgirl]

I'd choose john if i had to from the two. I think joseph is a spin name too. That is, if you're goin for the whole "j" thing. I mean, come on, her most chaste spouse?! Don't get much better than that.

-Joe (a little biased)

Amazing how we get advice from fellow phatmassers for the important things!

I voted James. It would mean alot to your dad, and from the things you've said about family "planning" I'm sure another lil'one is in your future. I think that maybe, since your dad isn't in the greatest of health, it would be a special gift for him--I mean, not to sound morbid, but if you named this one John and, God forbid, something happened and your dad was never able to meet his namesake... that would be sad.

[shelly_freak]

go James...make your dad happy
