a is for atticus

naming your baby is hard. really really hard. every time we think we're sure of a name, i change my mind. scott says he doesn't care, but i bet he just wants me to pick a name and stick to it. we were set on jackson. totally set. we even had settled on a middle name. scott was calling him jackson every time he talked to him. i love the name jackson, but i don't want my child to be called jack. so, unfortunately, jackson is out. because jack would definitely be a nick name. and i can't control that. i ended up buying a baby name book the other day called "a is for atticus". it features a bunch of baby names based on literature. we found a bunch of names we like, and now we just need to decide.

here's our list so far (in no particular order):

jackson
griffin
nash
tristan
owen
wyatt
finn
jude
asher
beckett
blake
dash
miles
ryder

    what are you doing for last name? westerman? or hyphenated?

  4. we are doing westerman. it'll be easier on everyone if he's not hyphenated.
