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!!!

  1. I heard "Stuart" the other day and thought that was a cute name I hadn't heard in awhile. You are right, this is hard!

  2. I assume you have already thought of "Reilly"?

  3. Yes! I love Reilly, but my cousin on my Mom's side is named Reilly. Plus it is getting to be a popular name. Stuart is cute! It reminds me of my neighbor when I was little. We called him "Stew Ball"! That's what I think of when I hear the name Stuart. My Dad loves Reilly too! Thx Patten!!

  4. We were discussing the name Liam the other night and I think I am mispronouncing it. I was saying Li'am but I was told it is Lem. Which is correct?

  5. You are pronounceing it correctly as far as I know. I like it pronounced Li'am. That is how I will say it regardless. I am almost positive that you are pronounceing it correctly. I will look it up to be sure.
