Owen and Ivan
Just in case there is anyone reading this that doesn't also read Mary's blog, we've decided to name our second son (due December 25) Ivan Harrison.
I like this name for a number of reasons:
- It goes well with Owen. Owen and Ivan sound like brothers.
- They follow a similar pattern - O-W-E-N and I-V-A-N
- Owen is learning to spell his name, and he loves the W. Ivan will hopefully enjoy his V just as well.
- It's short, with no real way to shorten it into some other name.
- It means "God is Good", and that just about sums up my life to this point.
It took us a lot longer to decide on this name than Owen's name, but I'm sure we will like it just as well. I'm just glad to know what to call the little guy. We're getting really close now...

If Ivan loves V then he will be my favorite little person ever. :) V is my favorite letter. Specifically in the word "vroom" (I don't know. The V and the OO together are just cool.)(I'm a nerd.)

The differences in the way that men and women approach naming their children is so funny! I thought Travis was the only one that did the syllable thing. And the V, that is too funny! But you're probably right, I'm sure he'll love it. I think naming second children of the same sex is was one of the most frustrating things we've done. I was so frustrated by the time we decided on Halle I didn't want to hear anymore name suggestions-ever. If we were to have another girl I think we'd name her Max.

What my wife means to say is we would never name one of our children "Max." (Sheesh.)

I agree with Michelle. "V" is a cool letter. It is a very proud, decisive, symmetrical letter.
