Naming this lad has proven most difficult! Between not knowing the sex of the baby ahead of time and then having baby 2.5 weeks early, we were at quite a standstill for days. Literally. But thanks to all of your suggestions, the wheels started turning and the creative juices began flowing. We dug up family names, regularly consulted our favorite baby name book, and of course frequently checked your comments and suggestions. Many, many thanks dear readers for taking the time to share your thoughts! And yes, we did choose a name within those suggestions. Without further adieu...
Friends, meet Gray Thomas Brubaker.
Gray, meet all the lovely people who graciously contributed to your naming.
Gray = the only name in the universe we could both agree on. I'm not joking. As an added bonus it even has significance in French.
Thomas = a meaningful family name, which is what we like middle names to be. Plus, it sounds great with Gray :)
And now we all have one heckuva list of baby boy names, now don't we? Fabulous. If our family weren't complete, I'd bookmark that post and save it for future reference. What good taste you all have!
Congratulations again! You picked a wonderful, strong name.
ReplyDeleteYay for Gray! So happy you arrived at the 'one and only' name for him. Enjoy your babymoon.

ReplyDeleteGrey is my name of choice too! Unfortunately, it's not my husband's favorite. (He once knew a Gray Wolf, which I agree is tacky-- but our last name is NOT Wolf.)
I really appreciated the list generated by your request and sent my husband several 'options'. Our boy is due to arrive the week of Christmas. :)
Congratulations on your beautiful son!
ReplyDeleteWe have a Gray! (on top of which, you are the only blogger I've ever written to -- I really enjoy your blog --- I wrote about one year ago commenting on your temporary move to France, etc -- I'm American living in Sweden to a French-Swede with in-laws who live in Aix-en-Provence. Thumbs up on your venutre) ... just today, I began but never mailed this name suggestion to you -- and voila! We know what a wonder it is to have a Gray (our 3rd) and know that are well on the way to the same discovery. Congratulations both on him, your family, his name and keeping up a blog!/gvide
a most excellent name. even one my hubby and i discussed. now if only I could talk him into #3.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful name! Do tell, what is the connection in French? I speak a little, but can't figure it out?! :0) Congrats on your beautiful boy!
ReplyDeleteWhat a perfect name! Gray was on my list for my son, but alas, not my husband's. So glad you got to use it! :)
