His Name Will Be...

Our poll is closed and we are glad to know that our friends and family agree with our baby name choice! The baby's name will (most likely) be Cohen. Cohen is a Hebrew name meaning Priest. Although all of the names on our poll were actual possibilities for us, we both agree that Cohen will be the best.
Just over a week ago, my friend Kim called me and said "I just got back from my daughter's soccer game. There was the cutest kid there and he had a great name. I want you to write it down and think about it. His name was Cohen." I immediately liked it and took it to Chad. He too immediately liked it and it seems to be sticking. Thanks Kim for the wonderful suggestion!
As for the other names...
Royal was Chad's choice. He loved it. I, on the other hand, did not love it.
Sam has been on my list for a long time. I still love the name, it just doesn't feel like "the one".
Miles is a darling name. We considered it for a few days but realized that it is a bit hard to say with Williams.
And Jonah was my choice. I loved it, but Chad did not.
So, Cohen it is. I feel such a sense of relief to have that decided!

Yay for Cohen! I love it. And it will be easy for the little tyke to say. Alora will not be able to say her name properly until she is in junior high! :)

I taught the cutest little boy in nursery whose name was Cohen and he loves trains! Otherwise I would have chosen Jonah, I just like it.
