Baby Names

Baby boy names poll...

Here are some of the names DH and I have been tossing around... Help us decide! Our last name is Peterson if that helps.  Scott is a family name on both sides so we would like to use it if it works with the first name. If you think of something else that sounds better please post!

Suggestions are welcome! [Poll]

    Really dislike the rest and kind of creeped out that the last two parts equal "Scott Peterson."

    I didn't even notice that, but now that you pointed it out I'm not a fan.  Weren't there 2?  The Lacey Peterson case and then also that police officer who's 3rd wife was missing (and they exumed the body of his 2nd because they think he killed her) was Scott Peterson too I think.

    9. Emmett Scott Peterson

    10. Turner Scott Peterson

    I knew the Scott Peterson case might come up... ugh. IndifferentIts my FIL first name so he got some weird looks back when the case was in the news. If you have any suggestions for alternate middle names that would be welcome.  We aren't stuck on using Scott.

    I had to Google, but I think the officer was Drew Peterson...with one wife named Stacey.

    Ohhh yea...Stacey rhymes with Lacey.  I must have lumped them together in my head because of it.  Thanks!

  • I like the name Scott, but honestly I don't think I would use it, even just as a mn, if my last name was Peterson.  JMO.  

    Edited:  I would look for another family name that you can use.  I'm sure there are some other good ones. 

  • Emmett Scot.

  • Maxwell is the only one I like. I didn't even think about Scott Peterson, but now that it's pointed out I personally would avoid it.
  • I like Maxwell or Asher.

  • I agree with PP positions on Scott as a middle name.  I think that another name should  be chosen... perhaps FIL's middle name can be the LO's middle name??

  • Yeah... I wouldn't use my FIL middle name. It is his mother's maiden name and I just don't like the sound of it since it ends in "son" and so does our last name.

     Seems like Maxwell is the most popular name so far on the poll.  The husband is not too fond of Maxwell but likes Max. He thinks Maxwell sounds snooty and too formal.  Since we would be calling him Max anyways he thinks that should be his given name. What do you think?
