When you find insights, do share. I'm finding the end of my rope far too frequently of late. Boy names... Sorry we're terrible there. I think we're having a boy too although we're not going to find out this time (it's the only time it doesn't matter because it's even, right?). Eric likes Kaden. I think it's ok. But that's what I say about EVERY boy name :o) Love you guys.Fichtner Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01652849908238385374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5928545399620364419.post-30640473212508357612010-08-25T15:17:13.493-07:002010-08-25T15:17:13.493-07:00Happy Birthday!

I think it will make me have a better, happier, more organized day, but it just means it will be that much longer of a day and right now...it's just exhausting to make it to bed time.<br />I have never been able to name my boys before I meet them. I tried, but he just came out being Travis and not Walter. I love the name Heath, but a celebrity with that name died right around the time Chase was born so that name was out. I was also told by Chris' grandma not to name the boys with the same first letter because people would mix up their names all the time and her brothers, Kenneth and Keith, hated it- so Tyson was out too. I think you have done a wonderful job naming your boys; they all look to me like their names match their appearance and personalities. I have no doubt you'll do great again!Cathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05757237565659567374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5928545399620364419.post-61045707455534435012010-08-24T18:12:42.752-07:002010-08-24T18:12:42.752-07:00I am commenting waaaaay too much on this post, but...I am commenting waaaaay too much on this post, but I'd just like to say...<br /><br />My vote, after thinking it over quite deliberately, is for Isaac. Not that you ever said you liked it, or were thinking about it, or anything. <br /><br />I just think it goes the best with the flow of names when you rattle them all off. There is no repetition in any of the beginning or ending sounds of the names. I also agree with Em that Liam is a very good name!bjahlstromhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10074272230635905526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5928545399620364419.post-61025591823571042522010-08-24T12:18:57.823-07:002010-08-24T12:18:57.823-07:00And how about Wyatt and Gavin?

I really enjoye...It's great to read you again. I really enjoyed your thoughts in this post.<br /><br />Let's see...boy names...<br /><br />1. Syllables. You have one one-syllable name, and three two-syllable names. You have the option of evening it out with a one-syllable name.<br /><br />2. Vowel and consonant sounds. They all begin with a different letter, so you could follow tradition and choose a name with its own unique. Three names begin with a consonant, and one begins with a vowel. You could round it out and begin this name with a vowel. They all end with different sounds ("ck", "er", "uh", "in"). You have ALL FOUR different sounds of the letter "A" somewhere in each of the names. Just something to think about. <br /><br />3. Meanings. Jack (diminuitive of John) means "Jehovah is gracious." Taylor is derived from Latin, and literally means "tailor, to cut, to sew." You can still draw wonderful meaning from that: busy, focused, and productive. Noah means "Rest, comfort." Austin means "Great, venerable." Good website: www.behindthename.com. <br /><br />4. You kind of can't go wrong, because you have a great variety of names that all seem to go together really well. <br /><br />5. Flow. Jack, Taylor, Noah, Austin, and...Hunter...Issac...Parker...Aiden...Colton...Cole...Drew...those are the ones that come to mind right now.<br /><br />Good luck!bjahlstromhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10074272230635905526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5928545399620364419.post-60901719551636282972010-08-23T11:21:39.145-07:002010-08-23T11:21:39.145-07:00I always love your posts. :) Happy belated 27th! ...I always love your posts. :) Happy belated 27th! 27 is a good age!

For me, it has been so good to be very organized with my time and set up routines for reading time, walks, outings, laundry, kitchen cleaning, kids' chores, etc. As funny as it sounds, it frees me up to be more spontaneous and to adapt to the daily changing needs of my kids.<br /><br />Happy Birthday! And congrats on a fifth boy! Your boys are lucky to have each other and you.Handsfullmomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17080603359227234634noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5928545399620364419.post-10630967640476811572010-08-23T10:05:57.763-07:002010-08-23T10:05:57.763-07:00First and foremost, Happy Belated Birthday!

Second, how odd about the 27 as any guy I have had a lasting relationship with also had a bday that fell on the 27th of a month (including my now DH) so I consider it my lucky number too! This was a great post that gave me lots to think about:) Happy nesting. I wish I could help you with a name, but frankly I'm running out of boy names as well.
