Time is ticking down on our pregnancy. We just passed the 36-week mark and all the signs are pointing to something happening in the coming weeks. We are excited and thrilled!
But we are having quite the time coming up with just the right name for this child (won't know if we're talking boy or girl until the arrival...just like we like it). So join in the fun!
Here's our (mostly MY) theory on names. I enjoy good rhythm, though I don't often express it. A name should have it. With that in mind, here's what a good entry into the contest will include. Since the last name (BOW-er) is two syllables, the first name should have either one or three or more syllables. Two syllables and two syllables just doesn't have the right ring to it. I know, I know, my name fits that description as does Sarah's. I guess you could say that we just want something better for the next generation.
Further, if God grants us a boy, we desire a biblical name either in the first name or the middle name. And if blessed with a girl, we intend to have a Godly characteristic or a fruit of the Spirit (see Galatians 5:22-23) as a middle name. Jace Isaac, Priscilla Joy, and Celia Faith all fit these criteria and we are looking for the same if we can do it.
Entries will be noted on the baby's web site when it is up in just a few short weeks. If you know the meaning of your choice, include that too, please. Submit away!

I want to remain anonymous. My initials are SP. I think the two syllable rule is ridiculous. It sounds like the husband came up with that one.
The name Caleb is great for a boy, but it's only 2 syllables. Here's one that fits your rules -- Okay, if it's a boy, how about Elijah.
If it's a girl, the name Sandra has a very pleasant ring to it even if it only has 2 syllables. The name Sandra is a diminutive of Alexander which means, "Defender of Men". And, all girls named Sandra are very bright, humorous, and well liked by everyone!
God Bless your family!!!
OK. Um, yeah, that's great Sandra. Thanks for that. Ooops, I mean SP.
May the thought, care and concern that you obviously put into your entries be returned to you ten-fold.

I am not married which of course means I don't have kids. But I have always liked the name Ezekiel
Okay - here I go again. I really like these names and I have the meanings too:
Dorothy: gift of God
Rebecca: a snare
Naomi: pleasantness
Luke:
Isaiah: Yaweh in salvation
I'll bet Larry already has the name picked out and is just seeing who has a boring enough life to keep contributing to Name the Baby.
Abigail Grace
David James
How's that for off the top of my head! No matter what the name, I know this child is blessed! Keep us up to date since we won't be seeing this wee one.....I'll miss that too, along with your family!
