So thanks to a vigorous poll the last two weeks, the winner ended up being Flynn, as in Flynn Rider. Good stuff. I meant to do this post yesterday, but the internet Ross and I use has switched to a secure internet. So I guess we don't get internet at our apartment anymore, which sucks greatly.
The list of baby names for this next two weeks are names from both my ancestors as well as Ross's. Some of these names are ideas for first names, and others are ideas for middle names. Again, we won't say which ones we are actually thinking of, just to make it interesting. Unfortunately, we don't have pictures for this poll, so I didn't write too much info since that can get boring. But please vote for your favorite name in the poll on the right and we will see which name wins! The poll will end on the 25th of February.
1. Alfred
This name comes from Ross's paternal side. So one of his grandpas somewhere back in his lineage.
2. Ben
This is the name of Ross's paternal grandfather. Technically his name was Norman and his middle name was Bennion, but everyone called him Ben, so that's the name for the poll. Ben is also Ross's middle name.
3. Charles
This would be my very own maternal grandfather. He's a pretty awesome guy who plays tennis and takes great care of my grandma. He rocks.
4. Ernst
This relative comes from a little ways back on my paternal side. Go Bredthauers!
5. Francis
We were pleased to find a Francis on Ross's maternal side, since my family all calls the little baby Francis. Originally that was because it could be a boy name or a girl name, but now it is just what they all call him.
6. Henry
This would be my grandpa Bredthauer. He was a pretty amazing man. And definitely a hard core German as well.
7. Horace
This wonderful name comes from my maternal side. And Ross and I thought it was pretty cool, so it had to make the list. It also reminded us of 101 Dalmatians. And that is just fine with us.
8. Johann Heinrich
This was a pretty awesome name found on my paternal side. We went back quite a few generations, and then all of the males on the far right of the page were named Johann Heinrich. Same spelling and everything. Of course, their last names were all different. Only one of them was Bredthauer. But it was still awesome.
9. Lester
This would be the name of Ross's maternal grandpa. He lived in Pennsylvania. Woot.
10. Marvin
This awesome name comes from Ross's paternal side. It reminded us of Marvin the Martian. Who is awesome. So this relative must also have been pretty darn awesome.
So there you go! Ten new names listed alphabetically for your voting. :)
