We may have a name for our little boy. We are in the "trying it out" stage where we are using the name to refer to the baby. Up until this point we had been calling it Kingsley, since that was a name we KNEW we were not going to use.
The problem is that everyone who has heard it so far hates it.
Ellsworth Loren Harper. Loren is Mike's and his dad's middle name, so we have known that piece for awhile. ANd much to Lawrence's dismay, the baby's last name will be Harper (Lawrence thinks we need more Winowieckis in the world....)
So it was just the first name we were struggling with. Ellsworth is another male family name in Mike's family. I like it. It's old fashioned and not "in style" right now so there won't be six Ellsworths in his class, but its not so bizarre and made-up that no one will know how to pronounce it.
I've almost got Lawrence on board by saying he can be "Big L" and the baby can be "Little Ell"...
Is it really that horrible of a name? Is it mean to give a kid an old-fashioned family name instead of something more trendy?
Sigh, I wish I could just call him "baby Harper" until he was 3 and then decide based on his personality.
