FINALLY settled on a name <3

After weeks of arguing which has probably been putting me under more stress than I need, my husband and I FINALLY landed on the perfect name for our little one that were both happy with! Since I was a child I have always wanted to have a sweet little boy named Chester, but my husband says that name reminds him too much of his creepy great uncle. HE has been insisting on naming him Texas because he wants to make sure our little one grows up tough and independent (which I don’t blame him for) but I never really like the idea of naming babies after states (even if it’s the best one!). THEN it hit me: combine the names! Which is how we ended up with Chexus!! We started with Chexas at first until we realized we could incorporate our love for our LORD and SAVIOR into the name by changing the last two letters! I am honestly just so overjoyed and relieved and excited to welcome little Chexus into the world! So now that I’ve shared, I better not be catching any of you other ladies stealing our perfect name ;) !

    Who cares what other people think? All that matters is that you and your husband love the name! Chexus is certainly unique. We listened to the freakonomics podcast about how much does our names matter and it was helpful to put it into perspective.

    I'm thinking Chex, Chez Mix, or Cereal are good nickname options

    I hope this is MUD. If not, that poor child. 

    Also Texas is a horrible name as well. 

    Go with Chester. PLEASE. (If this is real)

    I'd hesitate on Chester too. Great uncle may've been Chester, Chester, the child molester
