Here he is, @ 28 weeks. It is a side by side shot so don't get confused there is just one in here!Name game, name game who can you be. This is really like my favorite part of having a new baby, the name game. I like to make lists and say the different names in my head over and over. Then I tell people all the choices and they all sound BAD! Or weird. Or contrived.
So then I just figured I would name my baby boy whatever Angelina named her baby boy. Well she picked Knox so that is not gonna happen, I can't justify Knox by saying Jason's peepaw's middle name was Knox. So I considered Jasper, Sailor, Digby, Maverick, Thatcher...
Jason just looks at me crazy of just doesn't respond to my text messages.
So #1 on our (Jason's) list is Luke Anthony. It fits with our other 2 and is is a nice strong name, even though it so easily rhymes with puke and duke. That is it, it is our #1 until Gwen gives birth today and cross your fingers that it is a boy, we will name him whatever she names hers. Sound good?
I will let you know .

Wow, it's amazing what you can find self-googling these days. I don't know you, but I can offer something of an expert opinion on your proposed baby name, "Luke Anthony."
Yes, the rhyming with "puke" and "duke" can get old, and tiresome. Then again, most kids' names can rhyme with something embarrassing or scatological. Especailly one-syllable names. However, your child would miss out on one of the biggest irritants for Lukes growing up in the 80's and 90's, which is the Skywalker reference.
Good lord, people think they're being funny when they bust out with the Vader lines. They think they're so clever. But, with the advent of the prequels, and the passage of Star Wars out of the forefront of the public consciousness, it's no longer that obvious, and certainly won't be for someone born in the near future, decades after Episode IV came out.
You're right, though - it is a good, strong name. There aren't any notorious criminals named Luke Anthony, although there is a novel villain named that in an obscure sci-fi novel, "The Martian General's Daughter." But it is very obscure.
The initials are also very strong - nothing but right angles.
I wish you the best of luck in your quest for a good baby name, and congratulations on the upcoming addition to your family!
- Luke Anthony
