"What's in a name?"

So, Ron and I have been "debating" (that's the nice way to say it!) back and forth about what to name the baby. When we didn't know it was a boy, we could not decide on girls' names...but we thought of and loved so many boys' names. However, after MUCH debate and talking...a LOT of talking...we have narrowed it down to 2 names...


Curtis James


and


Brady Curtis


Curtis - is for my grandfather (my dad's father) who died in 2001 (September 12th!). He was my Boppie and my favorite person in the universe.

James - is for Peter Bridges, my voice teacher from New Hampshire who died 2 years ago. I made a promise to myself that if anything happened to Peter and I had a boy that I would try to name my child after him.


Brady - NO...IT'S NOT TOM BRADY!!! It is actually Brady Quinn from the Cleveland Browns.


Brady Curtis is definitely more of a compromise as far as the names are concerned. Ronnie likes Brady - I want Curtis.


Thoughts????


does he LOOK like a Brady?
