Choosing a baby boy name is a challenge for sure. (Almost as hard as picking out what baby products you might need and what to skip put on buying!  I mean he is stuck with it for life. Plus, you also should take into count the natural tendency that everyone, including Aunt Sue, will come up with a nickname for your well-planned baby name. For instance, We were going to use the very old fashioned baby boy name Wyatt for our son Elias, but after his grandpa spent my entire pregnancy saying "Wyatt Burp" I said, "HELL NO! " ( I personally love the name Wyatt for the record)
