Name Revealed!

Big week! HUGE week! We now know we're having a little boy...and now he has a name! Everyone needs one of those, right?

His name is: Liam Edward
You may or may not recall from the Baby Names post a few weeks ago that we were planning on naming a boy William (after his old man) and calling him Liam. We never actually agreed on a middle name.

Then once we found out we were having a boy, Will's dad suggested we give him the middle name Edward. It's Will's middle name, his dad's middle name, his grandfather's middle name... You get the idea.

We hadn't really thought about the middle name Edward before then because William is the name we were going to use, and then he'd be William Edward, which is Will's name, which would make him a junior. No juniors allowed, so it was pushed aside.

Once we realized it's a family name, we reconsidered it and liked the idea of carrying it on. Therefore, we decided to not name him William, but just Liam. It will make his life much easier that way, anyway. He won't have to correct teachers on the first day of school and stuff like that.

So yeah, Liam Edward. Close enough to Will's name without being a junior.

In case you're wondering what our girl name was, it was Penelope Jane. It's going in the vault for a future daughter if we are so blessed one day.
