The Name Game

There is a joke in our family that everyone (except Joseph) has the same name as a train from Thomas the Train.

We had a name picked out for baby boy #4, after MONTHS of discussion.  Well, a family member just had a baby and used the name!  Obviously we aren't happy about this, but don't want to use the same name.  So, that leaves us with a very short list of names that we don't really love.  The sad part about this is that I have resorted to visiting this site to look for baby names!  We've only got about 5 weeks left to decide...I'm hoping for some Divine or Thomas, Intervention!

How close is the family member? We have 3 Michaels between my cousins and I...and 2 of them are first cousins (aka their moms are sisters!).

Also, this baby will be David as is a cousin of mine. Michael's Godfather is Michael as well and he is John's cousin.

I don't know of other repeats in the fam but am sure there are plenty more!

Just a thought. Also, will your boy have a nickname or do you think theirs will?

Michael has a friend named Michael but everyone calls him Mike so there isn't much confusion there either!

I think Percy is a cute name. :)

Good Luck! We had trouble naming this one, and he's only our 3rd boy!
