What's in a name?
Lately I have been asked the question, "So what are you naming the baby?" at least a hundred times and my response is always the same, ?????????????. So I have decided to reach out to my friends and get some feedback on the names I like. If you happen to like a name I have posted, or you come up with another one, please hit the comment button under this post and let me know. All names are welcome. Here are some that we like. 1.Parker 2. Anderson 3.Coleman 4.Taggart 5. Talmadge 6. Kenton. I have put so much thought into these names and some such as Parker, Taggart, and Talmadge have historical church relations. Did you know Parley P. Pratts middle name was Parker? I didn't. Anderson comes from the famous Anderson Cooper who I absolutley adore, and Coleman and Kenton I have just heard about. So take your pick I would love the feedback.

Haven't been avoiding you...just busy and don't feel like talking on the phone.
Taggart is a family name on LG's side. His great great grandfather George Washington Taggart was in the party who helped bring Joseph's body back to Nauvoo.
I say pick what you want. Everyone definitely has different tastes in names and whatever you pick, everyone else will either like it or get used to it.
I still think you have to have a name that starts with B. How 'bout doing the Mormon thing and combining Doug and Lindsey with a B at the front. Bugsy.
Lindsey,
those are all actually really cute names. I love unique names. I am totally big on that. We were going to name our baby Riker but the spirit prompted quite a few of us to name him Taylor Nephi Georgi. I think kenton is cute. We will love whatever you name him. I am just excited to see what he looks like. Love ya guys.
I like Parker. I know you mentioned it when you were deciding on a name for Benson. Personally, I like the name Dallin but it gets vetoed everytime with Nathan so I guess if you like it it's fair game. I guess Dallon would be another spelling for it.
Alright - so you don't want your third child to feel like a complete outcast... Stick with a 'B' name. Here's a few suggestions to get you started (although we're not completely serious about some of these....)
Bailey
Barnardo
Barrett
Barry
Bartholomew
Berkeley
Billy
Blaine
Blake
Bobby
Bradford
Braden
Brigham
Braxton
Brandon
Brett
Brock
Bruno
Bryce
Byron
And those are just a few to get you started. If you need more - feel free to ask. We've got LOTS of suggestions....
*ROFL*
I like Anderson or Coleman--but I think we were talking that cole in not a good nickname--hard decision girly!
Hi Linds! I need to call you so we can catch up. I love all the names! You can't go wrong with any of them. Our friends have a little Talmadge and he is too cute! The name game is always so hard!
I like Kenton! very cute...and manly of course.
I love Anderson..we are going to name our next boy that, well if my vote counts. I also love Anderson Cooper, he so handsome and yet so smart. But any of those names are great for the little guy. I do not know them but I do not like ader families ideas of Bernardo or Bruno, veto!! The others are great.
I love the Bugsy idea, you should definitely go with that! J/K You guys have cute ideas, you did well with Brielle and Benson!
Linds-
Your dad wants you to name him Dee.
He said that's the only way he will have a grandson with the Dee name:( I love the name Colten. I also like most of the names you listed. Funny thing is when you finally name him the name will fit him perfectly! Love Ya.
My favorite is 6. Kenton. I also like Parker, but it is well used these days. At our house the motto is the more unique the better! Talmadge is also a very neat one...I would just have to decide if I want to explain the meaning/origin to everyone for the rest of his life. So, I'd have to go with Kenton. Good luck deciding! Thanks for including us!
Ok, Pierce just got home from Big Boy Basketball Night, and asked me to suggest the name Gavin...it's his favorite, but not one we have been able to agree on yet. Maybe if we have a fourth boy (perish the thought!) I will give in!
I'd have to say Bugsy is my favorite of all the suggestions, but Barrett is not too far behind. (what a GREAT name!)
Ok for real, I like Parker, but as Lyda said, whatever you decide will fit him perfectly. It's amazing how I wasn't sold on Adam's name for the longest time, and now I can't imagine him being anything else. Good luck!
Hey Linds,
That was just crazy, I was getting ready to tell you what I thought on names, but decided to read thru the comments first. My choice from you list is Parker, but I was also going to suggest Colten, I heard it the other day and really like it. Then I saw Lyda put that in her comments. Awesome! I guess that's 2 for Colten.
Benton, jameson, emerson, trenton, tegan
Hi, I was just blog surfing and found your post and thought I'd give you some advice.. We have a Kolton and nobody says the "t" so it comes out colon.. It's a Utah thing. If I could do it all over again I would stay away from a name that has a "ton" at the end like Kenton because it will come out "Ke-un". Your names are cute and I like your choices :) Goodluck!
