If I had to handle this task with a group of my girlfriends, I'm sure
we'd have an adorable name picked out in no time.But naming a baby with my husband--that's a different story.
Due to a decided lack of agreement between his parents, our baby would like YOU, our friends and family, to assist in selecting the perfect name for him.
Some of you may have participated in our previous "name games" to try to guess what we would name the first two boys. This one will be a bit different. Since reality shows like Survivor, American Idol, and Dancing with the Stars are so popular, we thought you might like to participate in a reality game where YOUR vote really does matter!
Each week, we want YOU to vote for your favorite names (as many as you'd like) and each week we will kick one or two of the lowest scoring names off the list and move one or two of the top choices into the finalist round. Then we'll give you an updated list to vote on in next week's post.
In keeping with the trend we have started, below you will find 30 biblical first names, listed in the order that they first appear in Scripture. Each name includes a link to some additional information regarding meaning, history, popularity, etc., and the rank indicated next to each name is from the 2010 Most Popular Baby Names according to the Social Security Administration.
Some of these are names I like, some of them Matt likes, and some of them we just threw in there to make you say, "Would they REALLY do that?"
(The answer is yes, many of these Matt really would do if I let him.)
So let's get started. To vote, either comment here on the current week's blog post or the facebook post that links to that week's list.
Full disclaimer: your relationship to us will affect the weight of your vote. If a grandma says, "I really love this name," her vote will count proportionately more than a blog comment left by "Anonymous" when it comes to making our final choice. However, everyone's feedback is welcome and appreciated in helping us make this decision!

Gideon and Josiah are my votes this week. Fun idea by the way! :)
Can I vote for more than one LOL. I like Seth and Noah.
Wes votes for Noah or archer.
I vote Aaron, Caleb, or Micah, since you started with 5-letter names.
Wendy has a good point - your other boys have five letters in their first names, but then again, so does she, so that might be a bias.
In order of appearance, I vote for:
Adam
Benjamin
Caleb
Micah
Mark
Timothy
Not sure that helps any. I can give you my least favorite choices too... but you can probably guess them.
I thought you had to leave Indiana to Danae to use...
The names Silas & Titus were new to me when I met you. I thought they were very unique, however you were telling me the other day that they have gained popularity. So, I vote for the ones that aren't popular names! :)
Linus
Indiana
Simeon
Marcus
Fun game! I vote (also in order of appearance):
Isaac
Micah
Eli
Ezekiel
Malachi
Can't wait to see who gets kicked off! ;)
Simeon and marcus!!
I like Marcus, Timothy, Eli and Caleb.
The real issue is what name do you two like?
Aunt Pam says...
I like Aaron or Marcus. Hubby Shawn votes for Noah. He has a nephew Noah.
