Which do you like?

Ok, now most of you know my son is going to be having his first child. He's been told he's expecting a boy. At this point it better be, because I've bought gads of boy's clothes already. JC Penney just had an 80% off clothing sale, because they are moving to another building, and I took full advantage buying little boy's clothes clear until next summer.

The big discussion now is the name. Since my son is an avid movie watcher, and I'm talking big time avid here, he's come up with the name Maximus Ethan . He thinks it's a strong boy's name. How many out there can recognize where these names come from? Another name that came up is Ethan Russell since Russell is a family name . Since my son is going to enroll him in VMI at his birth.....I guess they all do this, he's looking at the way the initials stand out as well. So what do you think? Which do you like? M.E. or E.R?

Maximus Ethan . or
Ethan Russell

Hello there KFC..

My middle son's name is Max. Just Max, not Maximillian, Maximus, or any other form of Max. We chose it for personal and family reasons.

Out of all my children, others are named David and Noah, he is the most balanced.

Names don't make the kid. The kid makes the name.

or is it clothes don't make the man...hahaha....

Names don't make the kid. The kid makes the name.


this reminds me of the scripture that says a good name is better than gold. I used to quote that to my kids alot when they were younger.

Of course it's not about names really. It's not the external that makes a person but what's inside that counts....but Maximus?.....

I also have a David. He's my baby....well in the whole scope of things. His 22nd birthday is next week!!!

So you have three boys as well? Welcome to my club!!!!
