UPDATE: He’s here! “All the comments helped us feel confident in choosing a name we really loved instead of trying to match, and especially the feedback about it being normal for siblings to share a middle name like Fletcher.

Update: We liked a lot of the names suggested, but still felt like none of them were special enough.

UPDATE: He’s here! Leisha writes: “Sorry I didn’t send an update sooner. We never did settle on a final name before I went into labor, but I had Linden near the top of my list. I think we might have used Emery if this baby was a girl, but somehow it just didn’t seem right […]
