The Baby Name Game

As of today we are 22 weeks pregnant.  Baby Boy gets stronger and more active every day.  Sometimes I think he's working on some ninja training with the kinds of jabs he dishes out.  Nate's even been able to feel a few kicks and thumps by putting his hand on my belly.  

So now that we know we're having a boy, it's time to name the little bundle, right?  With all of our children, we've pretty much had their names picked out from the time we conceived or even before.  I thought it was the same with this one.  We had a boy name picked out way back when we were pregnant with Jayne, so I figured we'd just use that.  Then, the other day, Nate pointed out that it has been 4 years since we picked that name.  Maybe we should "look at our options."  So I started checking out baby name websites and doing some brainstorming.  We ended up with a list of about 10 names that we liked and then narrowed it down to 3. 

We noticed that we tend to like more old fashioned names.  And for some reason all of our names seem to have originated in the Bible or are of Hebrew descent.  I promise we didn't do that on purpose. We really have no formula for naming our kids.  We don't do something catchy like have all their names start with the same letter or name them all after places or songs or anything like that.  We just find names we like and it seems that there's always one name that just seems to fit.  

So, here are our 3 finalists in alphabetical order:

Abram

Ezra

Jude

The middle name will depend on the first name.  We use family names for middle names and have two that we're deciding between. 
So, what do you think?  Feel free to weigh in on which you like best and why.  Just don't be offended or anything if we don't choose the name you like.  It is our baby after all.  =)
