Now that we know it's a boy, it's time to figure out what to name this precious baby. We have only a few things to choose from right now, but we want your input. It may not matter in the end, but what the heck...James loves the name Joshua. I am not crazy about it at all. If we go with Joshua, I am pulling for Joshua Declan (or Deklan). Declan is an Irish name and used a lot in Ireland I am told. I would call him Declan. He would have James' initials. (Steven has his grandpa's.) The only other name we have been thinking of, and it came up just recently, is Stryder. Way different from Joshua or Steven, but I like it. I can't find it on any baby name site or anything, so it is pretty original. (Shannon and Donald are probably the only ones that will know where we got the idea.) What do you think? Nerdy? Too far out there? C'mon. Help us out. I can't wait to see what you all think. Love you all and miss you.

My favorite is Joshua Decklan. I like the whole irish origin, and the reason I wouldn't go for Stryder is because when kids have croup or other lung issues, and struggling to breathe their breathing is called stryder breathing. I am sure if you do name him Stryder I will get over it though! :) :) :)
My bad, it is Stridor not Stryder. Stridor is a sound babies make when they are breathing in and their airway collapses, making this crowing sound.
i think too many people would start yelling at him L.O.T.R.! ha ha i like deklan, i actually just heard that name the other day and thought it was cute, i asked rob if we could have a kid named deklan. he said no of course. he says no to every name i think of. so my vote is deklan. :D
We vote for Joshua Deklan too. Sam and Jill had Deklan on their list of names too, it is so cute. BUT Chad is requesting that maybe you could name the baby after him, since we'll never have a boy!!
I'm a little jelous that you guys are so far along with choosing a name =) we still don't really have anything. It will come though. Hopefully soon. Brody's vote for our daughter is Tallie =)
I think Stryder is a cute name but I like the history of the name Joshua Deklan Moore MORE =)

Mindy as usual forced her will on me. I like Stryder.
Well here is the important vote! Ready. Ok since everybody liked "declan" and/or knows someone who has or wants to name their child that, you probably shouldn't. There's bound to be 4 "declans" in his grade every year. Also... that name can easily be read wrong. My instinct was to say de' clan ( like "the clan").
Stryder on the other hand will never be read wrong. And lets face it no one wants to be correcting people there whole life on how to pronounce there name.
"That's Dumass"
P. S. Stryder will also be a mighty warrior. And his bravery will change the fate of middle earth.
