Haner for the baby's name?

Okay, so I posted this a few days ago, but then posted other things right after it, so it got kind of buried, and only had one response! (Love ya', Jen!) But, I thought it deserved a repost, so here goes!

A couple of months ago, Brandon & I went to Borders to check out some baby names books. We sat down to peruse them and Brandon came across a section in one book on how to make up your own name.

For example, if you want a strong sounding name, you start with this (these) letters, or if you want a masculine name, you use these letters, if you want an athletic name . . .

So, we started playing around with the letters to make up names, and Brandon came up with the name Haner. We sat there and laughed so hard at this name, that it has become a family joke. Anytime we need to laugh, one of us will just say, "Haner."

Anyway, fast forward to a couple of weeks ago. It had been a stressful day, and I was a bit perturbed with Brandon, the boys, life, etc . . . when we got a phone call. Wanna know the name on the caller id?

Steve Haner.

It must be a sign. Oh, and we don't know anybody by the name of Steve Haner.

And, just for the record, we WON'T be naming the baby Haner.

Not even the middle name.

When I was pregnant with Bradyn so so so long ago, Sammy was adamant that his name HAD to be Sparkle Rose. Glad she finally understood that it just wouldn't work. Any name you pick out will be great. Even Haner would probably end up growing on you (and everyone else). If you want suggestions, my next boy would be named Kaden Michael :) Good luck fidning the perfect name!!
