the name game

We have chosen a name for Baby Flint!

Let me tell you... it's a hard job naming your baby. There's a lot of pressure that goes along with coming up with the perfect name for your little one. I mean, the kid is stuck with this name forever! 

While on the quest for the perfect name, we had some certain criteria. First, we didn't want it to be a SUPER common name. But we also didn't want it to be something so off-the-wall that people wonder "What in the world were they thinking?!? That poor kid!" We liked the idea of a biblical based name as well but many of those are very popular and the ones that aren't popular are because they are just plain strange. 

We searched websites and discussed several possibilities and finally found something we both love. I like the trend of using surnames as first names which is part of what I liked about the name we chose and it's not bizarre but it's not super common either. Since we did choose something a little different for his first name we decided to go with a more traditional biblical based middle name. It's also kind of cool because he will have the same initials as husband. : )

We just cannot wait to meet Mr. Cohen Matthew Flint
