What's In a Name?

We find ourselves wanting to do things differently this time. Go figure. We have his name all picked out and we are ready to share it with the world!....Who's curious!!! We've had a list of on-going name possibilities since we started this lovely journey to parenthood. The girl's name came so easily for us and we agreed on it immediately. The boy's name however....not so much. There were a few names - Cooper, Max, Jackson - that we liked but agreeing on one or the other AND finding a middle name we liked and could agree on was a whole different story! I'm not sure when we agreed on this name or when exactly it became the "it" name. But this name stayed on the list when others didn't. Then...when we had been matched with our RedFisch and knew for certain it was a boy, this name popped up again. Searching through popular names, modern names, classic names, and celebrity names on the internet is a great way to pass the time. I wanted to peruse the many lists and talk, laugh, and make lists of our own names we might like for a boy. But that didn't last long! After reading out loud three or four lists, Carlie said to me, "I really like the name we have picked out." And that was it. The name had been decided. 
Drum roll please.......Max Xavier Fischer is due on September 27, 2011.
