Shelley, sometimes it's hard enough to come up with one name let alone three - my goodness I can't imagine how much time you've spent on this but as your pregnancy comes to a close I'm sure you guys are ready to get the name and identity established. We chose Ethan Matthew because it is a strong Christian name and the meanings behind both names talked of not only the person we hoped he'd be but also spoke of our struggle with infertility. Ethan means enduring, firm and strong while Matthew means Gift of God. We also had Jordan Alexander, Joshua Samuel, and Lucas Andrew on the list. I too like strong names and we were tryinig to stay away from "poplar" names since DH is Josh and I am Jennifer and we both had multiple people in our graduating classes with the same names. But it wasn't until Ethan's name was established that we were given an article showing that both Ethan and Matthew were on the top 10 list of boy's names for 2007.
