What's in a name?

What's in a name? that which we call a rose
By any other name would smell as sweet;
So Romeo would, were he not Romeo call'd...
(W. Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet)

I know whatever we decide to name baby boy #2 will suit him. Whatever name we choose does not incline him to success or failure, ridicule or popularity, mean or tenderheartedness. I know that. So why is picking one, ONE name so tricky?

It's permanence? It's potential nicknames?
The opinions of others? Nah, surely someone has an evil ex-boyfriend with _________ for a name, or ________ was the weird boy in their grade-school who picked his nose.

Logan was going to be Logan from the moment we knew we were having a boy. Otherwise he would probably called Lily. But baby boy #2 is tricky. Sure we have a list of names, a list that grows and shortens, a list that has been paired down to one until I throw two more back in the mix.

Bryan, Megan and Logan end with AN...is that too "cute", shall we break the pattern? Would anyone even notice...well, now they might. Do we go with a name that begins with L? Only to complete our family with Lily as the third, or perhaps (ironically) insuring we have another boy if we choose to have three. ;)

Sure, I'm only 22 weeks along...we have time to decide. However, I find it easier to connect if I can use his name, his actual (going to be given) name when I talk about him.

I'm an over-thinker, planner...but some things I suppose cannot be rushed.

Dear, baby boy #2, you will get a name and I'm sure it'll fit you well....I'll read off my list...kick once for YES and twice for PLEASE NO. ;)
