The Name Game......

Here's a list of names that Brian and I have each chosen and are debating over....some have a little meaning behind them..some we just like. I think we are going to wait until the day our little guy comes home, before we officially choose, because we want to see more of his personality first.

GIZMO(cuz he looks like GIZMO!!!)
MADIGAN (means little dog)
KEEGAN (means little fiery one)
BRODY
COOPER
YEDDI(bigfoot)
GRADY
SCRAPPY
LELAND
BUBBA
