We're now taking baby boy name suggestions. Because of course, I had my girl name all figured out. =) This little one likes to move- a lot! He was sucking his thumb for the camera during part of the ultrasound too. If he keeps that up after his birth he will be our first thumb sucker. So, although he's baby #7 in the line-up, I think we're in for a few surprises anyway. That's part of what makes babies so special. They are all individuals and so unique!We'll be anxious to meet him in person.
As soon as he puts on a bit more weight. =)
Congratulations! I had a feeling it was a boy, but then again, I almost always guess boy when someone announces their pregnancy and lately I'm always wrong. :-P Good to hear he's so active and doing so well!
ReplyDeleteI've wanted a son named Aaron since I was twelve (who knows why I decided then that it was the perfect name, but it sure did stick). Alas, God blessed me with three girls (and I wouldn't change it for the world!). I know you seem to prefer less traditional names, but just thought I'd throw it out there! I'm sure whatever name you choose will be perfect for your little thumb-sucker!
Asher
ReplyDeleteCongrats!!!!
ReplyDeleteMy suggestion is Colton.
Dane
ReplyDeleteMy daughter was going to name her baby Elias if it was a boy. I love that name. I think I told you in a previous comment they are going with Nora Rose for their little girl.
ReplyDeleteYou come up with beautiful unusual names. I can't wait to hear what you pick.
Congratulations Ferlaak's, on another sweet boy! How exciting!!! Let's see...as far as names go, I am more the old fashioned, strong masculine boy name kind of person -- my sons are Joseph, Gregory and Thomas :) so I think those are nice names ;) I wish you all the best.
ReplyDeleteI am 31 weeks pregnant. We were going to use the name Maddox for a boy. We found out several weeks ago that the baby is a girl. So I will have 2 little girls.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on another little boy! I'd suggest Landon. It's not traditional but a nice strong name. Or there is Aiden, but that's become more popular recently. And I'm also partial to Evan because that's my little boy's name. :)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, Family Ferlaak!
ReplyDeleteI often read your blog, and I'm always inspired by you, especially by the things you share about motherhood!
English is not my first language, but I've always liked the name Gregory.
Love from Ingrid in South Africa
LOVE the name Colton!!!
ReplyDeleteI liked the suggestion of Asher...I also like Cade and Tate.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on another boy!! I thought for sure this one was going to be a girl. We have this cute little boy in a playgroup we frequent and his name is TOBIN. So that's my vote for this Ferlaak baby! (It means God is Good in Hebrew.) I also like Cullen.
ReplyDeleteLucky little Crew gets a brother so close in age... that is awesome. Congratulations again on the newest little one!!
Evan Michael :)
ReplyDeleteWe have 2 girls (Madi and Ella) and one son named Leo. We liked it because it was a family name, simple and can't be shortened. I think you must like similar with Brock and Crew! If I had another boy I would use the names Jack, Charlie or Oscar.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on another little boy! Working in an inner city hospital, I have lots of baby names, but probably none that I would print! I do like the names "Riley" and "Ingram". Whatever you choose, he will be a blessed little boy!
ReplyDeleteI vote for Tobin as well. The meaning is beautiful, and so relevant for your outlook on life. Congratulations!
ReplyDeletei met a precious new baby girl the other day named teagan. have been thinking of your angel ever since.
ReplyDeletehugs,rose
Landon is my boys name {IF I ever get one!!!} But you can use it... ;)
ReplyDeleteEamon or Aamon.
ReplyDeleteSutton.
ReplyDeleteOr Eric Randall is a fabulous name too!
: )
xoxo.
YAY, soooo exciting!!!!! :) Congrats!!
ReplyDeleteMy three sons are named: Timothy, Zachery and Jeremy....but I always wanted to name a son Adam...a strong name that is not used all that much anymore (I am a teacher and I get to use LOTS of names)...this year...I would never name a son Zane!!
ReplyDeleteLogan :)
ReplyDeleteMy newest favorite for a boy right now is Ryker. Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteCongrats! My favorite little boy name is Caden (that's because I have a little Caden, we also call him Cade! :) ) I also like the names Tucker, Cohen, Brycen, and
ReplyDeleteRyder to name a few! :) I wish I was having another baby! I have 2 girls and a boy! My little guy needs a brother! sigh!
Lawson, Gabe (I'm partial to this one!), Ryder or Tristan.
ReplyDeleteI'm a long time reader but I've never commented! I love your blog. Your faith is so inspiring.
God Bless!
Finn....I know you like one syllable names :)
ReplyDeleteMy 3 boys have traditional names, but my alternative names for them would have been.....
Braxton, Thatcher and Milo.
Congratulations! How about a good, solid American name: Charlie...not Charles, just Charlie!
ReplyDeleteAwesome.. congrats on way!
ReplyDeleteLarz
Quinten
Awww...congratulations!!! So happy for you! :)

Congratulations on your pregnancy!
ReplyDeleteYour children's names are so interesting, I can't wait to see what you choose for your son.
I vote for Leo or Zane.

ReplyDeleteJodi,
I just found this blog (posted above). She has a little boy named Tegan, who is three (spelled differntly I know) just thought your should know. I hope it is not upsetting to you. It made me smile and think of you when I saw it.
Thank you again for your blog.

jamil (pron. jaymul) middle name eric
ReplyDeleteCullen - my current fav name!!
ReplyDeleteHa! My 11 year old son's name is Cullen. It was a family name.... long before Edward! :)
ReplyDeleteFirst time commenter... long time follower here:) I just prefer to lurk!
ReplyDeleteWe chose Finley for our second son and later found out that it means "fair-haired soldier". It has proven to be a strong and appropriate name for him. Have you ever met a Finn you didn't like???
My friend just had a baby named "Gage" and he is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI also love the name Westin.
Congrats on you baby - I love following your journey!
My sons are exactly 2 years apart to the day. We chose John Christian (nicknamed Jace), and Jackson Creed. As a name, Creed means "believer", which I loved. Congrats on the boy! They're wild and ornery, but I love mine to pieces! :)

Tyle (pronounced "tile")
Long time lurker here, but I just had to put in a word for my favorite boy name: JACK!
ReplyDeleteIt means: God is gracious. My son is Jack Cooper (8), he goes by Cooper but I like to call him Jacky Jack or Jacky J or Jax. Jack is after my Grandfather. It is very traditional, but I love that name!
Then there's Luke, Blake and Will.
Congratulations, I know you will pick the perfect name for him...can't wait to meet him in photos!

My two boys names are Corbin and Bryson but if we have another his name will be Charles... we will call him Charlie. It's a family name and I just love that!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on having another boy! :) How exciting! :)
ReplyDeleteI have a friend with a son named Grant and I LOVE that name! I think Tristan is a cool name for a boy too.
Just my two cents. I know you'll pick an awesome name! All of your kids have such cool names! :)
God bless!!!
My favorite boy name is Hosea. I guess that is because that is my son's name :) Naming babies is so much fun, but also so much responsibility!
ReplyDeleteIf I could make a suggestion, it would be Jace Gabriel. I think it is strong but soft at the same time. I love all of your children's names. They are unique but not unusual. Very fitting from what I read about them and see in your blog.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on another baby boy!! I have one girl and one boy, and I love both of them with all my heart. They are VERY different (as I know you already know) but I love so many different things about each one.
Congrats again! Can't wait to hear your decision!
A friend has three sons whose names jumped out IMMEDIATELY, if we hadn't already chosen a boy name: Bright and Brave. (Brave Ransom is his full name... isn't that fantastic?!)
ReplyDeleteI commented when you announced last time you were expecting Crew so I will again. I love the name of Atticus Sebastian.
ReplyDeleteI love the name Creed, but I think that Tobin, which I also love would be a great addition to your family.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! I will chime in as a long-time lurker, first time poster. . . you have so many great names already suggested! Our family names all start with A, meaning I like patterns, so I suggest a name that begins with a D since you already have Brock and Crew. . .Dean, Dane, Drew(ooh, it rhymes!)or Dax. Glad all is well!
ReplyDeleteI love your children's names and I think the next boy should be Chance, goes well with Crew and Chip.
ReplyDeletei've been reading your blog for awhile, but not sure if I've ever commented. congrats on your new baby-to-be!
ReplyDeleteour son's name is Curren. We love it. :) we also love the name Finn for a boy.
Congratulations on a baby boy! I seem to like 4 letter names ;0) Gage, Kale, Finn, Becket (Beck),and Levi.
