Say Uncle
Finally, the boy who needed a name has entered the world - this morning at 7:15 my baby sister gave birth to her baby boy. Though all of the help from you guys in naming the child was great, she ended up going with her initial instinct and named him Evan Matthew. Though I'm going to call him Dez Dexter Noah Drake Hunter cuz that's how I am.
Evan Dez Dexter Noah Drake Matthew was 6 lbs 13 1/2 ounces and 18" long, with a little bit of brown fuzzy hair and brown eyes (though we're fairly certain he'll end up being blonde because the Jacobson blonde genes are strangely strong) and though I haven't any pix yet, his mother says he's the cutest baby in the world, which is relatively close. I mean when I go home in September I'll show her the baby books of me when I was a baby and of course then she'll realize her son is the SECOND cutest baby ever.

Name That Baby
My little baby sister is preggers, that's right I'm gonna be an uncle again. Actually it's pretty exciting but being close to my sister particularly at this time has made me realize something I never thought of - what do you name your child? For some reason all of my other friends either had no problem naming their kids or I just wasn't involved in the process, but this time around I'm hearing all the trouble that goes into finding the perfect name for a little guy who's going to be called that for the rest of his life. But even more importantly, it's a name I'm going to have to use for the rest of MY life. At least she found out what sex the baby will be so we can at least narrow it down to a boy's name, but since the actual name is still up in the air I thought I'd invite you all to start to giving your ideas - I'm sure she'll love it. A lot of mine have already been shot down and I suppose it's a good thing she isn't having a girl since I'd call her Ciji no matter what her mother named her. So as of right now, Evan is a big runner and her husband is Matthew so that's always in the running as are Jonathon (named after his father) and James (named after our father) so what can you guys come up with? For some reference here is a list of names already rejected - Jared, Jake, Jacob, Dexter (my favorite), Desmond (Des), Logan, Lucas, Luke and a whole bunch more, but come on give it your best shot - who ever gets the winning name will get a prize. Either a picture of me and the baby or a Swivek CD - your choice!
