How did you decide on your child's name?
When my son was born, I knew what his name would be. There was no question. I had known it for years.
I heard this story this morning from a friend. Her friends had delivered their son and didn't have a name picked out. They felt they were ready to go home after a couple of days, but hospital administration needed a name before they would release the infant. The husband excused himself, drove to their home and stood on the back doorstep trying out possible names by calling out across the fields. He eventually chose the one that felt right, returned to the hospital and completed the paperwork.
How was it for you? Spur of the moment? Battle royal over who's parents would be honored?
