Name Game Conclusion

Finally, after months of agonizing suspense, we have managed to "sell" all the names in our name game. The prizes will be revealed!

Greg and I had a hard time deciding on what we should name our son. It was much easier somehow to narrow down the names and choose Marcus's name than it was the second time around. We stared at the picture and finally were able to narrow it down to four names. Every time we thought we had picked one of those four to be "the" name, then we would reconsider the other three names all over again! We slept on it and when I woke up, I just knew what our son was going to be named. That night we went out to dinner, at the Cheesecake Factory. We had ultimately decided on Marcus's name while we were dining at the Cheesecake Factory so we thought this was appropriate. We took our seats and I spread out a few photos of our new child in front of us. That is when I told Greg what I thought he should be name. Greg looked at me and said, "Yes. That is his name." It was then that we began taunting all our friends with the prospect of choosing the right name and winning the grand prize!

There are four prizes. The grand prize is the name we finally picked and the three runner-up prizes are for the three other names that we were really considering. The three runner-up prizes go to the following:

Camille R - picked Andre
Ginny A - picked Damon
Leigh Ann B - picked Jackson

Andre, Damon, and Jackson were quite lovely names but there was just one name that was going to be perfect for our son. The grand prize winner of this contest goes to my father, Bill Wylie. We will be naming our son William, which is also the name of my father and my brother. We will be keeping the name his birth mother gave him as his middle name.

We can't wait to meet you, William Alejandro!!

Congrats to all the winners and thank you to everyone who played and supported us!
