The name game.....

When we were pregnant with Nolen we did a poll to help name him.  Nolen was not the name that won....actually Landon did but we didn't listen and went with Nolen instead. 
When we found out this baby was a boy we had no clue what we wanted to name him.  We did know that since Gavin and Nolen both end with an N....we wanted this baby's name to end with an N as well.  We went to the internet and looked and looked and looked at names, narrowed it down to 5 and did another poll.  The name that won this time was Weston.
So, did we go with the winner of the poll?  No...ha!!!  However, the poll did prompt a facebook friend to suggest a name that Eric and I both love.  So, the poll did help lead us to our baby name.
Our 3rd son's name is going to be........................


Cohen Miles


Cohen means priest or brave
Miles means merciful, servant or generous

We chose Cohen because we just love the name and the meaning.  Miles is my maiden name so it is after every one in my family.
So, there you have it!  Little man has a name and a painted room!  We are making progress!
