Now that you all know we are having a boy, I suppose that I can tell you we already had a girl’s name picked out — Audrey Elizabeth. In addition to the glamour, glow and history of the names, we liked that the first one began with a vowel just like the other kids’ names (though that was not a conscious decision with Aidan and Isabel).

We currently have several boy’s names in mind, but are having a difficult time narrowing them down to a combination that “fits in but stands out”. Some are family names. Some are ethnic names. Others are names of long time friends. And in case you were wondering, Scottie, Jr. is not on the list. Much more research and contemplation is in order.

In the interest of generating excitement and more ideas for names, I am copying Bob’s baby name contest. Guess the name, birth date, weight, length, etc. of our kid by clicking here, or by selecting the Baby Name Contest link on the right hand navigation (under Colophon). Below are a few hints to help you along.

• The official due date is November 2, 2006.
• Aidan’s due date was November 7th, but he was born on October 13th.
• Aidan weighed 5.5 lbs. at birth, but Isabel was over two pounds heavier.
• The baby measured 19.5 weeks yesterday, but his legs were at 21 weeks.
• Pamela and I have brown hair, but as kids it was blond and red respectively.
• Aidan and Isabel had very little hair from birth to their first birthdays.
• My eyes are green and Pamela’s are blue (see eye color predictor).

By the way, in case you have not figured it out yet, we are not revealing the baby’s name until after he is born. You can pray for him just as well without knowing his name. If you must call him something, then call him Kiki (KEE kee). That is the name Aidan picked out when he first found out that Pamela was pregnant.
