These names are Hubs approved. We've made some serious strides I think. They are all family names. Thoughts?

Surprise pregnancy in Aug. 2012.
Precious baby boy "HC" born May 2013.

    Yeah, Bradford was my dad's name. We would probably call him Brad or Brady. Coleman was MIL's grandfather's name. We would definitely call him Cole.

    I have yet to meet a Brad that I didn't like. Though mord of them are Bradleys, Bradford is okay in my book.

    I guess Emmett. Even though Atticus has grown in popularity and I love the book/character, I still find it a very strange-sounding name (like Basementus or something). Emmett is NMS and I find it a little off with Harrison but I agree Coleman is too surnamey/camping equipment and Bradford sounds a bit pretentious somehow.

    I'm not a huge fan of Bradford as a name but I get the sentiment. Emmett is by far my favorite. I also like Everett.

    I'm a big fan of Bradford, I like it even more for you since it was your father's name.

    I voted Atticus, but Emmett is a super close second, and to be completely honest, I'm not sure if I really love the name Atticus, or just love to kill a mockingbird that much
