Naming our son was so difficult in the beginning. I looked at baby names for hours and hours and could not decide for the longest time. We had a list of names that were our top picks, but making the final decision took forever! Steven's middle name is Jack and he is the third generation with the middle name Jack so his middle name was set in stone. Our son's middle name has been Jack since before we even talked about first names. We initially had the name Weston Jack picked out which I really love, but right when I found out I was pregnant I wasn't crazy about the name Weston Walker...it sounded too country and cartoonish. I had only really thought about the first and middle name without really thinking about what he will be really be called his whole life, which is the first and last name.
So I came across the name Barrett on a baby website and immediately loved it. It was a name that I could finally see naming our little boy and I knew it would fit. I told Steven the name and I couldn't believe what he responded with...he not only loved it but he told me this name has been in his mother's side of the family for generations! It was meant to be! The more we said his name, the more we loved it. His name is set and also has history from Steven's mom's and dad's families. We love our little Barrett bear so much and cannot wait to meet him!
YAY! I love it! So cute! And also, you can call him Bar Bear...I call Garrett Gar Bear all the time : )
