A name for our new baby boy ???

I have exciting news. Paula and I have just had a new baby boy!!! He was born on Sunday 24th of Feb 2008 at 22:11. He weighs 3.5kg, has black hair and I can already tell he's smart. He must take after his mother. ;) The big question now is, what are we going to call him? We have a couple of names on the short list, but nothing really jumps out at me. Suggestions would be very helpful???

 

Update: Couldn't resist adding this picture too.... awwww so cute!!

Hi Jason and Paula,
CONGRATULATIONS .... 2nd boy. Nate will be happy I'm sure.
Are you sure you want to give your newborn a name from others' suggestion?
I guess, nothing's wrong with that, eh?
So, how about ... uhm ... Bytespring?? Just kidding ...

How about something that rhymes like Hedee Sheedy :)

He looks like a Jerimiah to me.
Jerimiah Sheedy sounds like a strong name.
But then again Christopher goes well with Nate ... Christopher & Nate

Congratulations! A real cutey!

How about "Bilbo"?

Could be big in years to come!

Thanks guys. Much appreciated. Not sure I want him to be a tricksy little hobbit. Maybe, Gimley would be better. Sounds like a stout name. :) Hmmm .. still not sure.

WE WANT MORE PHOTOS!!! WE WANT MORE PHOTOS!!! Chez said lucky this one looks more like Paula!

Beautiful boy, congratulations!

Might I suggest "Dirty Harry" or "Terminator"? Only because my wife would not even consider either of these names for our youngest son. ;)

Seriously, do you have a favorite uncle or a loved one who has passed on? I find family names and memorial names to be sentimental (in a good way).

Good luck!
