The Name Game!

I woke up at 2:19am and guess what was on my mind names.....   I have talked about names with my family members over the Thanksgiving holiday.    They all had great suggestions!   I was talking with a co-worker as well, and she said "the hardest thing about pregnancy was picking out a name".  I agree!
I am going to list some new names below that I like.  I am also going to put some names together to make sure they flow with each other.  Here it goes.....
Number ten- Broden  Origin (Irish /Gealic)  The meaning is "ditch".   I don't like the meaning but the name  is okay.   I like the nickname Brody.
Number nine- Brennan Origin (Irish/Gealic)  The meaning is "tear drop".   This is a nice name.  What do you all think?
Number eight- Tyler Origin (English)  The meaning is "a worker in roof tiles".  Cute name!  I think it would be a good name through out life.
Number seven- Denton Origin (English) The meaning is the "settlement in the valley". I am not sure how it is spelled. It was my mom's middle name given to her at birth.  I think it is a good middle name.
Number seven-  Brice Origin (Scottish) The meaning is "son of a nobleman", or "one that is speckled".   It is a nice one syllable name.
Number six-Patrick Origin (Latin)  The meaning is "patrician".  This name is a popular name that I like.
Number five- Gabriel Origin (Hebrew) The meaning is "God is my might".   I would call him Gabe.
Number four-  Kai Origin (Hawaiian/Welch/Greek)  The meaning is of the sea/the keeper of the keys/of the earth.  This one is interesting, and is used more than you might think.
Number three- Kane Origin (Gealic) The meaning is "the little warrior".  I could also spell it Cain.   Cain is a biblical name. He is one of the sons of Adam and Eve.
Number two-Alexander Origin (Greek) The meaning is "helper and defender of mankind".   I would call him Alec.
Number one- Sterling Origin (English) The meaning is "little star".   This is one of my favorites.

Sterling Reilly Patten-   I love this name.  Reilly is my Mom's middle name.
James Tyler Patten-  This one is a nice name.
Denton Alexander Patten- This one is okay.
Liam Alexander Patten-  This one is nice.  It does not have a name from my mom's side though.

I still like
James Liam Patten
Liam Maddox Patten
Liam Conor Patten

New Kitchen for Baby! Thanks Grandpa!

Week 24

Thanks Muzzy!

Muzzy had it set in her mind to buy a crib for her first great grandchild, at Babies "R" Us.   When Muzzy and I arrived at the store it was a bit overwhelming, because there was so much to choose from.  We took a stroll around the store a few times, and I narrowed it down pretty quickly.  When I picked out the crib my sweet grandmother's eyes lit up.  I will never forget her face. She looked so happy!   We asked the store sales clerk to help us pick out a mattress.  I went back in forth as to which one I thought would work.  I asked Muzzy which one she wanted to get, and she announced "I want to get the best one!"  I could not believe it.  I felt so grateful to have such a generous grandmother.  
The crib that I picked out is expresso brown, and it has a dresser to match.   I can already see the nursery in my mind, and it is adorable.   I will have to take pictures, and post them once I get it all together.   I could not do this without God, and my family.   I am so lucky, and blessed to have everyone's support!  Muzzy I could never thank you enough for the crib, dresser, and mattress.    You are an awesome great grandmother! The baby is going to love you just as much I do!  

Week 23

Name block...

Hey everyone!  
I have drawn a blank on names.    I want you to give me some suggestions!     I am still in the process of buying a name book.   One of my friends at work who is 8 months along gave me her name book.   I have not found a single name in that book that I like.  It was sweet of her to give that to me though!!!!
I will let you in on the names that have been floating around in my head.   Believe me! I think about it constantly. Sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night thinking of names.    If you could suggest names that you love it would be great help.
I have been thinking about middle names, and how all three names flow together.   I take a peek at the initials  to make sure it does not spell anything "off color".  Anyway here it goes.....
Liam Skylor Patten-  This one is nice!  It has only one family name and that is Patten.
Liam Maddox Patten-  I like this one as well.  It has two family names Maddox (mom's side) Patten (Dad's side) Liam can be short for William.  This one is full of family names.
Liam James Patten
James Teirnan Patten-  I love the name Teirnan.  No one else seems to like it.  It is an Irish name.  I can just hear an irish man pronouncing Teirnan, and it sounds beautiful to me.    Let me know what you think, but be gentle about your comments.   I like this one a lot.   I would call him Teirnan not James.  I just think the name flows better with James as the first name.
Liam Conor Patten- This one is nice but not top on my list.
Callum Maddox Patten-  This one is high on my list as well.
Aidan James Patten-   A lot of people like Aiden.   I still think of Carrie's boyfriend on "Sex in the City" when I hear the name Aidan.   This one is not high on my list, but it is a possibility.
Thanks everyone!  I can't wait to hear your suggestions!!!

A Little Awkward....

Thanks for reading and watching my blog! It is nice to share my pregnancy with everyone this way.   It is a little intimate and awkward as well.   If you feel strange reading it, believe me, I feel the same sometimes when I write/publish it.  Overall I am glad that I have created this blog.  To me it is like a scrapbook that I am sharing with friends and family.   I hope to share it with my new addition some day as well. :0) 

I hope that you are enjoying it!

Kicks!!!

I was listening to some music earlier this evening, and I felt a kick.   I have felt some movement, but this is definitely different.   I was in the bathtub when it happened, and I saw my stomach move.   (totally weird!)  It was almost like he was "rocking out" to the band The Weeks.   A band that is fairly new to me.  The band was introduced to me by his Daddy a few months back.  His Daddy loves the Weeks!  He would be proud I think.   I am going to let him know next time I talk to with him....

Names and More Names....

Number ten...... Rune-  The origin is Norse.    The meaning is "secret lore".  I like the way this one sounds! 

Number nine.....  Jude- The origin is Hebrew.  The meaning is "praise, thanks".  This one will obviously make people think of the Beatles.  That is not necessarily a bad thing.  Jude is actually a biblical name.

Number eight.... Rudy- The origin is Germanic.  The meaning is "famous wolf".   This one makes me think of the movie.  It is a great movie, so that is not so bad.

Number seven....Finnegan- This one is Irish.  The meaning is "descendant from Finn".  I have been looking at a bunch of Irish names!

Number six.... Sebastian- The origin is Latin.  The meaning is "man from Sebaste".   Cute name!  I could see kids poking fun at this name though.

Number five... Teagan- The origin is Gaelic. The meaning is "little poet".   I love the meaning, and the sound of this one.  

Number four... Teirnan- The origin is Irish or Gaelic.  The meaning is "little lord or lord".  I love this name!  I was thinking of using this one, until someone pointed out that the nickname could be Terry.   It is also unusual and hard to say, for some.  I still like the name, but may not use it.  

Number three. Skyler (Skylor)- The origin is Dutch.  The meaning is "guarded scholar".  I have not found a spelling of Skyler with the OR ending, but I like that spelling the best.   (Mostly spelled Skyler or Skylar)

Number two.... Conor- The origin is Gaelic.  The meaning is "lover of hounds".  The meaning is hilarius and the name is sweet. What do you think?

The number one name of the week is....... Jonah- The origin is Hebrew.  The meaning is "dove".   I love the story of Jonah and the whale in the Bible.   It would make for a extremely cute nursery!

Names that are still on the list from last week.

Aidan

Lochlan

Callum

Liam

Maddox
