Our Baby's Name!

So, most people play their cards pretty close to their chest when picking out a kid's name. Not us! We have a name that we have come to love and are 99.9% sure that it is our son's first name.

We love the name Riley! It is an Irish name that means valiant and courageous.

I liked it first a few months ago, and then a mentor, colleague, and dear friend of mine passed away. His last name was Riley, and was a man that I want our son to be like. He was committed to helping young men through coaching and education, two things that Holly and I are passionate about.

We love the name and don't really care about anyone's opinions of it unless they are good!!! (just joking, but seriously) We are interested in a middle name. The two we have it narrowed down to are:

Riley Joshua or Riley Jonathon.

Holly likes Riley Joshua after his dad, and I like Riley Jonathon after his uncle. (who is my favorite guy in the world)

Let us know what you think!
