I had to share this precious nugget of wisdom about naming boys that came from my BFF:
Make you give your son a name you love, because you’ll be saying it a lot. By the time you leave any given store, just about every employee will know your little darling’s name!
So true! Any other naming advice to share? I plan on giving our name choices the “Target” test: what name would I not mind calling out in the middle of Target about 500 times when I need to redirect my sure-to-be active son?

our last name is ‘service’ and were very careful with the names we picked. we already have a ‘john service’-insert potty joke here, in the family. my brother in law teased that we should name our one son ‘hunter’ because ‘hunter service and outfitters’ would be an awesome name of a sportsmans store.
we didnt go with hunter…

In our house it was, will he get bullied at school with this name? Our surname is Hoff and certain first names sound quite funny when added to Hoff. So we had to think carefully about the nicknames and such our little man was going to get!
