Names for first born

[Auto-5]

Another name I always liked was my paternal grandfathers Jess. Actually it was Jesse but his entire life he was Jess.

We couldn't come up with a name for our first son, and then one day my wife got a phone call that was a wrong number.  The person asked for Eric.  After she hung up she thought about it, and decided that Eric was there after all, but the caller was about 3 months too early.

"Oak". 

 

I had planned to name my next son "Oak McKinnley". Oak being a strong unusual name and McKinley being the middle name of my father-in-law. Nickname would have been Oakey. 

 

My two daughters have somewhat different names, "Autumn Brooks" and "Hatteras McKenzie"

I really like the name Joel Anderson.  Rolls off the tongue easy.

 

Joel Ryan Anderson even better.

As mentioned earlier, the Bible is a good source of names or you could google important historical figures and come up with some good ones.  I have two boys, Freddy and Henry.  My wife named Henry.  A combination of a dog mine that she loved and Longfellow.  Frederick, because she had never met a Freddy she didn't like.
