Plus, it is a family name..a very special one! I'm a sucker for family names...hence Luke's middle name is Ira (my dad's name)!! Never in my life would have chose it otherwise!<br /><br />But I do love the name Grant and I think it goes great with Beck. For real!<br /><br />p.s. Lightroom is easier then photoshop..but you can't do as much with it.

Khalil and Ahmad might be a little too exotic for you, but I'm sure they are classics elsewhere. Further up the list, you'll find that Romeo edged out Beckett and Jay last year, and that Zion beat Xander. Highlights from the 300s include Julius, Nehemiah, and Bennett. Up in the 100s you'll find Grant and Peter, along with Wesley and Malachi. So many wonderful choices are underutilized these days!~T~https://www.blogger.com/profile/17969562036638831748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8617408367425960304.post-88573910124567500722010-09-23T09:22:25.363-07:002010-09-23T09:22:25.363-07:00I like Grant Beck too.

There are so many great boy names out there. Here are some more of my favs:<br /><br />Judson<br />Lincoln<br />Atticus<br />Emerson<br />Cade<br /><br />And I totally agree with the person who said that no matter what you name him, people will soon forget past associations and come to connect his name with this great, sweet boy. We named our last daughter Adana, after the city in Turkey where she was born. It felt a bit odd at first, but now it suits her perfectly. And the name I have chosen IF our baby is a girl is foreign and perhaps a bit odd, but I'm sure people will soon find it fits her just right. (Fingers crossed for a girl!)<br /><br />BTW - here are the names of some of the Asian-American kids that we are friends with. They really run the spectrum: Cassius (they call him Cash), Coltrane, Anthony, George, Sean, Yin, Jin.Brookehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00511399359914113396noreply@blogger.com
