“Subject: DH nixed 8 out of 13 names on my list!!
We had names for #1 & #2 picked out early on, this one has been so difficult, dh is only coming up with names that aren’t my style like Martin, Raymond – sorry, but not my style.
I have been searching and searching, presented my latest list last night of: Cade, Caden, Grant, Karsten, Keegan, Logan, Reece, Roark and Rowen for a boy.
Alyssa, Grace, Selah and Teghan for a girl.
He now has it narrowed down to Grant, Logan or Roark for a boy and Alyssa or Grace for a girl.
Logan has become a unisex name, so I’d rather that only be a middle name, Roark is kind of hard to say, I’m worried people will get confused, Alyssa has become so popular, I liked Grace for a middle name to something.
Nothing goes together – are we ever going to find another name to go with our boys?
– (normal name), mom to Ryan Kyler (3) and Kane Riley (21 mos) and due 1/20”


“Roark! roark! ack- ack- ack- bleeaaaggghhh!” —the sound of my dog vomiting on the bedspread…
Isn’t ‘Selah’ that word that keeps turning up in the Psalms and they can’t translate it cost no-one knows what it means? Best guess is it’s an obscure Hebrew musical term. But it could mean ANYTHING.
