From the article: The Baby Namer
Naming your baby is such a fun thing to spend time thinking about. Though there are so many great names out there. Are you a traditionalist? Do you like new age names? What did you (or will you) name your baby boy? What does that name mean? Where is it from? Give us the scoop on the name! Share Your Baby Boy Name

Brishen Wynter

I named my son Brishen Wynter because it was so fitting. Brishen means born during the rainstorm or bringer of the storm and he was born during a blizzard. The snow stopped the hour of his birth and when he was actually born the snow began again. So thats how I decided his name, born during and bringer of the winter storm. He still causes a storm everyday.

prince

I loved the name prince for my baby boy. The minute I found out that I'm pregnant I couldn't take the name Prince out of my mind. Knowing that I'm carrying a baby boy makes me the happiest person in the world because I knew that my prayers has been answered.

I named my son Brenson

I came up with this name by thinking that I didn't want an ordinary name or a popular name , my son Brenson is fearless and unique and he is my jumper he leaps without fear and I hope and pray he is this fearless when he is an adult, not afraid of making a mistake and if he does make a mistake he won't give up he is strong and I love him

Uh names...

So my boyfriend and I have been in a relationship for over a year. Since day one we have talked about how excited we each were to be parents. We plan to get married and the idea has me going crazy in happiness, I have a whole list of baby names, i just cant seem to get enough boy names, or names that maybe pleasant to the ear. So far my favorites are Gavin Alexander and Xavier Enrique. My bf is not too excited about having one of our boys with his name (Enrique) he said it doesn't flow. Any Ideas?? (Yes, I love to plan ahead... way ahead hahah)
