Baby #2 Names: Goes Well With 'Nigel'

So with one adorable big brother named Nigel, Ross and I have thought it would be an excellent idea to name his little brother something that would go well with it. Here is a list of 8 names that Ross and I like that go well with Nigel's name. They would be the cutest little boys on the block! Which they will be anyway because they're my boys. I have the name, the origin of the name, and what the name means for these ones. That is fun. By the way, Nigel comes from England and means "the champion." That's my boy!

1. Neville

2. Vincent

3. Alistair

4. Desmond

5. Hugo

6. Tristan

I have made the poll on the right side of the blog! You may vote for two names if you would like. As always, have fun!

Christmas Lists

So Christmas is coming and the goose is getting fat. I guess it is a good idea for me to list some things that my family members and I would like for Christmas. Makes things easier for those who are getting us stuff.

Nigel's Christmas List

1. car toys

2. dinosaur toys

3. books

4. Chutes and Ladders (or another board game that a child might enjoy)

5. Any toys an almost-3-year-old boy would enjoy

Ross's Christmas List

1. To see his wife and child happy (I told him people probably wanted to know things that he wanted but that was all he would tell me)

2. He would probably love an Al's Sporting Goods gift card. He loves that store.
