Dear Baby,
I just want you to know that I don't like it any more than your dad does or than you would. I hate that we haven't decided on a name for you yet. Every week people keep asking me, "Do you have a name for the baby yet?" ...and the answer is always the same, "No... we're still having a hard time deciding..."
I don't know why it has been so hard, baby, but to determine what you will be called for the rest of your life is a big responsibility! I don't want to mess this one up! Every time your dad and I go over the names we have considered, I have my reasons for liking and disliking each one. In Biblical days, children were named for what the parents either had experienced, or for what they hoped their child would fulfill someday. I want to your name to have similar significance and meaning. We tried hard to do this for your big sister, and we want the same for you... but finding boys names with significance that don't sound "weird" seems to be more of a challenge.
I know that whatever your name will be, my dear son, it will come to represent who you are and what you mean to this family. ...And to that name will also be attached great love and affection. I hope that you like whatever your father and I end up choosing, cause you're going to have to live with it!
I have some peace in knowing that Jesus knows who you are by name, even before we do!
I love you, my son,
Mommy
