Something to discuss...

Since I'll be away this weekend and Mike and Evan will be busy, I thought I'd finally share our baby name list with everyone. Feel free to discuss, comment, and offer suggestions, as we are by no means settled on anything yet. Now, some of these are Mike's picks, some are mine, and if they have any significance I'll share that too. Thanks in advance for any input--we'll take whatever help we can get.

Adam (was at the top of our list last time too, but we don't seem to like it as well this time around)
Alan (my youngest brother's middle name, also the name of a close friend of ours)
Andrew (Mike's grandfather and godfather share this name, as well as a cousin of his, but none have our last name)
Ben (yes, like Big Ben. but we like just Ben, not Benjamin--not sure if that's an issue)
Declan (our good friend Tessa's husband, not sure if people would have pronunciation problems with this one. also, we're not Irish)
Jack (for Jack Bauer from 24, I will not comment further)
James (Mike has an uncle of the same name, might cause confusion. not sure if Jim or Jamie would be a nickname)
Simon (no special ties to this one, but it made the list)

So there you have it. Please feel free to be honest, and share any suggestions you might have (for middle names too). We could really use the assistance--thank you, Interweb.
