The Baby Name Game

When you are expecting a baby there are many things that you need to prepare in advance before the exciting delivery date. You have to get the crib, some clothes, diapers, Tylenol for the many headaches you will have in the next few months, and you also have the long talks and discussions over what name you will give your soon to be bundle of joy.

When you and your spouse start talking about names you both agree that the name should be something that you both like and when you think of that name your heart is instantly warmed by the thought of your child. You would never pick a name that reminds you of someone that you have had a horrible experience with, or a person you wish you had never known or entered your life. The name you pick should be special to you and unique to your child. There is a reason we pick the names that we do.

For example the name that we picked for our son.

Toryn- This is an Irish name that we picked to represent my husbands strong and proud Irish heritage. This name also means chief which we hope that our son has the drive, leadership and strength that comes with being a chief.

James- This middle name was picked because James is the English version of Shamus my husbands name. It is also Shamus's fathers middle name.

Lee- This middle name was picked because it is my fathers middle name.

Neeson- We figured that our son should have the same last name as his parents.

There was so much thought and emotion put into picking our sons name and when anyone we know says or hears the name Toryn, they automatically think of our adorable little red haired boy. Of course my husband and I went through hundreds of names before we could settle on the perfect boy name but the fact is that we picked that name because it was special and meant something to us.

Right now we don't know if we are having a boy or a girl but again we have two names that are picked out which are perfect for whatever gender baby we are blessed with. However, at this moment we have been calling this child Baby Bear. It is a nick name that we have given this child in love and when ever anyone says or writes that name everyone thinks of my special child that God is watching over.

I can't wait to meet this baby as I have said before and when we give this child their name I know that it will be unique and given in love.
