When we conceived our first son, we had been trying for a few months and had plenty of time to think about names. The day of the "big ultrasound," as soon as we knew he was a boy, we knew that his name would be Colin.
Since this pregnancy took us completely by surprise, we didn't think about names right away. When we finally started to get serious about baby names, we chose a girl name first because my gut told me that this one was going to be a little girl. Well, my gut was wrong, and we didn't get to use Claire Elizabeth this time around. Maybe someday. :)
Once we learned that this baby is a little boy and not a girl after all, we flip-flopped between a few boy names that we liked, and scanned dozens of baby name lists just in case anything else jumped out at us. We knew that we generally preferred names that were simple, straightforward, and not super popular or trendy. In the end, it came down to one. It just fits. Colin's little brother's name will be...
I guess we can check one more thing off the list. Phew! Next up: putting together Reid's nursery! It feels so good to be able to use his name. :)
