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

  1. I like the name Sterling Reilly Patten it sounds so regal. I can see the name plate on his desk at two or forty. I don't like Cain. I feel like he would get teased. From killer to sugar cain.

    Wow you have a great list of names. I see why you don't sleep. You may end up like me I had a name
    picked out but when I saw her she was Kelsey.

  2. O I sleep a lot! I just wake up a lot in the night usually to go to the bathroom. I am glad you like Sterling. I think I will have to meet him to be sure, so I understand what you mean.
