After MUCH deliberation and input, we have a name for our little baby boy. Drumroll please...it's SKIP! You weren't expecting that, were you? We literally must have discussed hundreds and hundreds of names in the last week and we wanted a name that was masculine, easy to say and spell, and unique. I also wanted a one-syllable name since his middle and last names are so long. We received a great deal of input over the past week and, in the end, we didn't listen to any of it. We happened upon the name Skip because we were actually talking about the name Kip. When we came up with it, we exchanged an excited look and did a little jig in the kitchen with you held between us. We like Skip because it's boyish and fun and easy and a bit unusual. And it's also an old name and we like old names (earlier we had been trolling the list of top names from 1920!).
So, dear Skip, you have no idea how much effort we put into your name and we hope you will always like it. We think it suits you and we've already practiced it with these ideas from your Grandma Linda: (1) "Skip K. is running down the court, he shoots, he scores! Way to go, Skip!" or (2) And the winner of the spelling bee is Skip K. (I don't like to use our last name on the blog). I think it works.

Wow! I have been meaning to check in for a week to see how things were going with Deshon and so much has happened. You guys are awesome! Thank you for sharing and I can't wait to meet Skip and see Zadie again. She is a little girl - time flies. Come back to SB soon.
Congratulations Skipper! You've been named!! What a relief. I was beginning to think you'd be called Baby for the rest of your life. :)
Hey! Skip is a cute name! I actually knew a guy named Skip once. I don't think that was his REAL name though! Very adorable. I love all of his hair. The pictures are getting me excited for my own little arrival! Zadie looks SO big on the picture before this post! Wow, is that a PONYTAIL in her hair!??
