Some of you have asked whether we know what we will name this little boy. No decisions yet. Here are some options:
- John Taylor: Yes, yes, the Ramptons have two Johns already (Jack Rampton, Marcus & Becca's 3 yr old, & Johnny Fowler, Anna & James' 4 month old). But John Taylor (the 3rd latter-day prophet for Mormons) is Taylor's great-great-great-grandfather & source of Taylor's name.
- David Cais: David, meaning beloved, is Taylor's middle name. Cais is Vietnamese for rejoicer. It'd be nice for part of his name to reflect part of his ethnic heritage...but most of the other names listed we don't know how to pronounce. I pronounce Cais as Ki-us (long I) or Kai-us. Don't know if that's correct!
- Mark Richard: Our fathers' first names.
I'm starting on the baby books. I know everyone has super strong opinions on the matter. Right now, I just want to read the different theories and then when it comes down to it, rely more on what fits us and him. Right now I'm enjoying The Happiest Baby on the Block.

Great names!! Good luck on deciding. Boy names have always been hard for me.
By the way, have you check Matt's blog out in the past day?
That is a hard thing. I kind of like the idea of having his middle name represent his heritage but any of them sound good. Are you for or against nicknames?
I have heard really good things about the "Happiest Baby" book. Haven't read it myself - no time once you actually have one! I don't like the "What to expect" series. They are the nazi books of motherhood - much to strict for me. You're right though - when the time comes you just do what feels right and works for you. As far as I am concerned, there are no absolutes in parenting. T
I like your name ideas! It's so fun reading your blog, Lisa. I love all your adeventures and stories. It was so great to see you last week.
The nice things about your nephew's names is that none of them are called "John". They are called variations of the name, and you all have different last names, so it shouldn't make a difference.
So excited for you!
Amy
