We have a Name!

So I know I just said we didn't have a name, but the kids have made it known that they have picked the name :) And the winner is....

Miles Oliver Eby

Miles is a name that I liked a lot when I was pregnant with Rylan and we didn't know if she was a boy or girl yet, but Chris was never very keen on it. I hadn't mentioned the name at all this time and then my brother was visiting and took our name book to scour. He came back with Miles Oliver, amongst others. And this time Chris liked it, go figure :) But, as much as both of us liked it we weren't sure it was THE name. So we kept throwing out names. LOTS of names. We kept coming back around to it and even asked the kids what they thought and they liked it. So last week Chris asks the boys again and they simply said it was decided, #4 will be Miles. Without me knowing this, I asked the kids as well and they started chanting Miles. And so it is Miles.

Now the Oliver was not as easy for the kids. We had actually asked about Miles Dominic a few weeks ago when we were trying a different middle name. So we did have to convince the boys that it would be Oliver not Dominic with the final selling point being that his initials will be MOE. For those of you that don't know, this is also the name of one of Chris's favorite bands and we also like it as a possible nickname - yes, we are dorks :) And Jake has said he would like to call him MoJo and Rylan pronounces Miles like Mouse and has insisted he is Mouse :) Brenden is still unsure, but seems to be on board.

So anyway, it is done. At least I hope. Miles Oliver Eby (MOE) will be the name of #4. Now if only we knew exactly when he would make his arrival we'd be all set!
