3rd free hint

The first name is NOT in the top 100 most popular baby names for 2006, but the middle name is.

Another hint and a disclaimer

Another reason for not revealing the name yet is that I don't want to feel locked into it - I can't promise I won't change my mind after seeing him for the first time. But we do have our top choice picked out. I wonder if that means that if we do change our minds we have to refund everyone's money? Oh, well. So far, the little guy's college fund has grown by $55!

Anyway, for those of you who are cheapskates (or "poor college students" like my sister), you can try to deduce the name from a series of free hints that I may or may not remember to post each week up until the birth. The first hint was in the last post.

2nd hint: Both the first and middle names start with a consonant.

Name that kid!

We have picked out a name for our baby boy, but we wanted to keep it a secret and make the announcement after he's born. Still, everyone is very curious, so we've devised a little game for those of you who just can't wait six more weeks. :)

If you would like to make an Oregon tax-deductible contribution to our son's 529 college savings fund, here's what you can get:

For $5, you may ask and receive an answer to any yes or no question. For example, "Does the name start with ___?" or "Is it in the Bible?" etc.

For $50, we will give you a list of our top potential names (both first and middle).

For $500, we will just tell you the name.

For a generous $5,000 contribution to his college fund, we will let you name our kid.

But here's a free hint for everyone. The name does appear in the top 1000 names for 2006 according to the Social Security Administration's data:

Happy guessing!
