Ok so where has everyone been??
Joel and I are excited to visit with everyone in a couple weeks… but don’t blink b/c we will be back in the Carolinas before anyone knows it. We are planning to drive up after work on Fri the 20th. Depending on how late we get on the road, and how pregnant I feel (increasingly so everyday) we might stop and sleep somewhere to finish the drive early Sat. Sunday is baby shower, and Monday back on the road! Yes, we will miss Thanksgiving, but this is as close as we could get.
“So have you picked a name?” everyone asks.
“No” we reply.
We have scoured baby name books and the internet, and have decided we have not decided. I think I might just have to actually look at him first. Who knows who he will look like… The classic Aaron-Mia-Corey look? Or the light haired Jared version? Gage the Irishman? Perhaps, since Joel’s family is Scottish-Irish and English (they think). I mean what if I name this kid Salvatore and he has Gage’s red beard??? And lets consider his future hobbies. I don’t know anyone that owns a surfboard with the name Giacomo. I’m only kidding… the Italian names went out the door when I met Joel.
So here is what we came up with:
Mia’s list:
Alex
Avery
Bentley
Brady
Brooks
Emory
Felix
Finnley
Hendrix
Jackson
Jonas
Levi
Logan
Mitchell
Morris
Oliver
Owen
Parker
Paxton
Ryder
Silas
Watson
Joel’s list:
Abram
Ardon
Banan
Bentley
Brady
Bronson
Carson
Deacon
Dylan
Elden
Emerson
Felix
Gunnar
Jackson
Jonah
Major
Michael
Parker
Raymond
Sampson
Solomon
Thurston
Truman
Tyson
Walter
Winfield
Xander
Xavier
So the names we agree on are Felix, Bentley, Brady, Jackson, Parker.
Who would’ve guessed Felix is still in the running. We agreed if we cannot come up with another name, it will be the default go to.
I also just remembered Kayli’s little bro is Brady. And I don’t really like Jackson b/c if he goes by Jack it will be two K sounds in a row. I have also eliminated alliteration names starting with c’s or k’s.
Naming something is really hard for me. Naming a CHILD is impossible. The only thing I ever named was a fish. Two fish, actually. Elvis and Dolly – that turned out pretty lame so I am kind of worried about this. So as the people who chose the names for everything else in our household, help me out!

Hmmm, I like Owen and Parker. Especially Parker 🙂
Gage’s vote is probably going to be Xavier and Jared’s is probably going to be Bronson or Watson.
Kraynak’s is open. You might have to stop in while you’re here, haha!
I was just thinking how everyone’s been too busy to post anything. If Mia can find time, we all can!!
My name submissions: Braden, Phoenix, and of course Joel Jr. with which you could choose a nickname if you had one.
My suggestion: don’t forget that people usually shorten names to 1 syllable for everyday conversations. Joel, what are you going to do with Thurston?
oh and i forgot to mention i hate names with anything -aden. so no.
Levi
I like Felix, Mitch, Oliver.
felix kicks ass, i agree. probly my fave. but wasnt he a cartoon cat? thats why id def avoid morris. cat food mascot, ya know? hard to find a name people wont relate to some character or person they know. like oliver.
it’s odd that mom already suggested braden, and that you already shot it down. i came here to post it since it seems like it would fit the list.
i think juice is better than bentley, but to have either name you must be ballin’ out of control.
Braden Joel Kay is the bomb.
