Greg and I were talking this afternoon about what to name Floyd, should it turn out to be a boy. A girl's name we agreed on before William was born, and we've decided not to re-open that can of worms: Kathryn Neale Pontius Rankin. But, nothing is jumping out for boy's names.
We both read through a name book, made our separate lists, and compared. Five or six names were in common, which I guess is a good starting point. None, however, really jumped off the page for either of us.
William during this time was putzing around with his blocks, making towers. His appetitite for "alone" play ended, he came over and said "come, mama, come dada, play." As we were going over to play with him (he drops a stuffed animal from upstairs, he comes down stairs, has Greg throw it upstairs, repeat), we asked William what the baby's name should be if he has a brother. Very clearly, he said, "Nathan." Hmm....

Nathan's a good, strong name. Goes well with William. Nice choice; could have been Fluffy or Spot. (Of course, having a little Kathryn would be very sweet.)
Very interesting. Does he know any Nathans?
Was Nathan on either of your lists? Or both? ;)
William's choice is a good one! (I'm impressed that he came up with such a great, classic name.) Love Kathryn too.
