I believe it was around this time 7 years ago (good gosh! it can't really have been that long!) that we were just finding out that we were going to have our first child. When we made the discovery, Angie was pretty well convinced that we were going to have a girl, and she was already excited about the name Marguerite Rose. Then, a short while later, we found out we were having a boy, and we embarked on the arduous mental task of coming up with a boy's name. Honestly, it is only by the grace of God and his divine inspiration that we were able to come up with the name Daniel Caleb after a couple of months.
Then, about two years later, when we found out that we were expecting gain, Angie was convinced that, since we'd had a boy the first time, and I came from a family with 2 boys, that we would only ever have boys, and this one was going to be a boy as well. Fortunately, we still hadn't come up with a boy name by the time that we found out it was going to be a girl, so we were relieved to be able to use the Marguerite Rose appellation.
Yes, it's definitely a baby boy! Angie was convinced that it was going to be a girl, and, in fact, we already have an awesome girl name picked out that I won't be posting here so that we might use it in the future should the need arise. In the meantime, we must now set about the awesome task of coming up with a name for newest addition. So far, Maggie has suggested "Andy," and my brother suggested "Colloquium," or something like that. It was the name of a football player who was on television this evening, but I don't remember exactly what he said. I think it's fairly safe to say that we won't be using his suggestion. Maggie had also previously suggested "Chrysanthemum" for a girl, and so I believe my brother was also suggesting "Chris Anthony" in tribute to Maggie's desire, but I doubt we'll use that, either. Still, we're open to suggestions, by which I mean that we will give any suggestions their due consideration without giving anyone else credit if we do decide to use one.
So, what do you think? Feel free to contribute a name in the comments section. For inspiration, here's a recent 3-D photo of the little guy's profile:

All this is, of course, leading to something, and here it is: today we found out the gender of our current infanticipation. In late January, we expect to give birth to a baby...

Awww, congratulations!! Well now I can give you all of Ethan's clothes! I do wonder , will Trinity & Brennan be fighting over baby boy Hipps? You know Ethan & Cooper are both convinced that they will marry Maggie. :)
I'll have to think about boy names and get back with you. Congrats again!
Thanks, Stephanie. One of the first thoughts I had after realizing that we wouldn't be using the girl name we had was that because we are having a boy we would be getting Ethan's clothes. He is one handsome boy and is always well dressed. Those hand-me-downs will be an awesome blessing since we didn't save any of Daniel's clothes.
Only time will tell if any of our kids hook up as grown ups.
The name "Jaxon" is a strong name...and it isn't copyrighted. You may feel free to reuse said name.
