The Plot Thickens

Last week, Faith reached the coveted 34th week of pregnancy. The 34th week is the week when doctors will allow labor to have it's way should it start. So from this point forward, if the little kicker decides to join us, then the invitation's open!

Additionally, as many of you know, the names George and Amani are the top 2 names in the running for our son. Eli, Samuel, and Caleb round out the top 5. However, we recently found out my brother and his wife are pregnant with their first child and are strongly considering the name Samuel should their child be a son. To confuse matters, several family members have recently adamently voiced support over the name of Caleb.

So, does Samuel move up the list since this may be the only chance we have to use it?
Does Caleb do likewise due to popular opinion?
Or do George and Amani keep a stronghold on the top 2 spots?

Looks to be an interesting race to the finish...or the nursery.

To me, Amani looks an awful lot like Armani, so I think he's either going to get called that as a mistake, or people will wonder why you love that particular designer so much. I'll admit, I love the suits myself and would own one if I had a few thousand dollars just sitting around begging to be spent on clothing, but...

I'm with your family on liking the name Caleb. Plus, it sounds good with your last name (both Trochaic words, I think the term is, how the stresses go CAleb DOWdy) - Samuel will work that way too, whether you go with SAMuel DOWdy (and assuming the "uel" comes out as one syllable" or SAMmy DOWdy. Just rhythmically, the strong GEORGE DOWdy doesn't roll off the tongue as much, unless you mostly call him GEORgie DOWdy.

So yeah, my top choices are Caleb, Samuel, then George. But your baby's name should be made by the committee of you and Faith, so I'm totally OK if you completely disregard this whole comment. =)

Strangely enough, I agree with you Kurt. While Amani is my favorite name of the 5, I've heard way too many people add an "r" to it when they've repeated it back to me. I'd rather spare my son a life of questions like "Why'd your parents name you after an Italian designer?"

That said, it's still my favorite. :)
