Baby Boy Salzwedel

You all know that I have a sick love for baby names. I have mentioned this sick love in good detail here and then again here. 

You also may recall that every night I spend about 30 seconds trying to pump Nick up for our nightly ritual - me list out a bunch of fab baby names and him saying yes or no. 

Sometimes he surprises me. 

He will say no to ones I think he will love and yes to ones I would bet lots of money on he would say no way in h e double hockey sticks.

Like last night's list.

Via here.

Jennifer - no

Daniel - no

Myrtle - Myrtle? no.

Bird - no.

Autumn - ehhh, that's okay.

Saffron - no.

Carpenter - Actually...I kinda like that. 

(SERIOUSLY????)

Raven - no. 

(I totally thought he may say okay to Raven. It was on our first list, first pregnancy)

Corvus -  Is that real?

Hummingbird - Really? no.

Teak - That is a piece of boat wood. no.

(I love this)

Kingfisher - NO.

Joinery - No.

Aves - no.

Bluedorn - no.

Willow - Yes.

(I knew he would love this. This was also on list #1, pregnancy #1)

Halcyon - NO.

So this morning after that disaster of a sesh - he calls me on his way to work. 

Nick: Okay, I have found my all time favorite baby boy name. 

Ashley: OMG. Okay hit me with it.
(Oh you guys, I was soooo ready for an out of the world - I AGREE, BABE - type name)

Nick: You ready.....

Ashley: YES.

Nick: Conrad. 

Womp Womp.

CONRAD? Are you kidding me?
I like names like Indigo and Jagger...ConnnnnnRAD?

Ashley: Oh. Okay. How about I think about that for the rest of the day and let you know. 

Nick: laughing I know what that means.

He went on, dead seriously, to tell me why Conrad is perfect for our fake-not-real-yet-son.

I guess I should be thanking my lucky stars he is coming to the table with suggestions but I will tell you one thing: our child, should we be blessed with a baby boy, will not be named Conrad Salzwedel.

Oh well. Here's to trying again tonight.
