    why does she always walk two feet behind him? โ“

    I’m with you MSat – finding a name, especially for a boy, is much more difficult than I ever would have imagined! We decided to keep our list of potential names secret, because no matter what you end up choosing, people always seem to have their own opinions about it – even if they’re negative! So, everyone will have to wait until the little guy is here, and then hopefully they’ll keep their mouths shut if they don’t like his name.

  3. just me says:

    Why is she carrying Violet and not Ben ๐Ÿ™„ She’s the pregnant one not him, men…ugh! ๐Ÿ™„

  4. Syko says:

    For that matter, just me, why isn’t Violet walking? She’s big enough to eat hay and pull a plow.

    I like traditional names, too, although I’m not sure I’d call Violet a traditional name. Old fashioned, maybe, but still a little odd.

  5. Leandra says:

    I like the name Violet, very pretty. I think people analyze photos too much. I just see a happy family walking down the street….if they’re all happy, who cares who’s carrying who or if they’re smiling, or if or if….big deal.

  6. I’m surprised with names as plain as Ben and Jennifer that they wouldn’t want to spice it up a little more. How about Nutmeg? Or Cheeseburger?

  7. CC says:

    why is violet barefoot??

  8. SeVen says:

    To the people asking why isnt Violet walking – She has no shoes on ๐Ÿ˜›

    Plus if my family was surrounded by strange assholes shouting things and taking pictures, i not sure I’d let my kid walk either.

  9. Bodhi says:

    My fiance & I both like more traditional names too. But not common everyday names. If we ever have a boy we’re gonna call him Declan.

  10. TC says:

    I get the protective vibe from these pictures of him walking in front of them. I don’t know, but that’s my guess. Leading the way to keep the paps off of the girls.

  11. Kaiser says:

    Jesus. If it’s a boy and they name him “Ben Junior” he will be teased 4 EVA as “B.J.” and “Beej” and “Yo, Fellatio!”

    And then comes all of the oral sex references. I would never do *that* to my child. ๐Ÿ˜•

  12. CCM says:

    Declan is that like “the clan” in a different language??

  13. CCM says:

    What kind of boy’s name is that? Now that’s a mean thing to do to your kid!!!

  14. mandee says:

    I agree with you TC.
    These two fit so much better than him being with Jho.

  15. Syko says:

    I like Declan! Traditional Irish!

  16. Mairead says:

    Actually, I like Franklin as a christian name.

    CCM – put down the beer/bong and back away from the computer – De-feckin’-Klan indeed ๐Ÿ™„

    Better call him Dรฉaglรกn, Bodhi otherwise poor ickle CCM will be offended ๐Ÿ˜‰

    But be warned, if he ever visits certain parts of Ireland it’ll be shortened to Decco and he’ll be forced to sound like Colin Farrell doing his “deadly buzz” accent and say stuff like ‘story buuuud? ๐Ÿ˜ฏ

    (oh yeah and Natalie is played by Maria Doyle Kennedy who was also Catharine of Aragon off The Tudors ๐Ÿ˜‰ And the red-head is a very young Glen Hansard what won the Best Song Oscar )

  17. GuessWho says:

    yeah my husband and I have been talking about baby names since we’re going to start trying soon and they only ones we can agree on are Jacoby Craig for a boy and Shea Lynn for a girl. I was really pulling for Shea Estelle but yeah… hubby was a poo poo head over that…

  18. KLO says:

    LoL@ Kaiser, that’s the FIRST thing i thought ๐Ÿ˜€

  19. Diva says:

    Declan is very cool, Bodhi.

    If we’re ever so blessed, we’re going with Ronin.

    ๐Ÿ˜€

  20. geronimo says:

    Declan is lovely, so is Ronin. My current fave is Ruaidhri (Gaelic for Rory – pronounced RooRi) and my friend’s just called her baby boy Oisin.

  21. snappyfish says:

    bodhi, best wishes on your engagement. Declan is a great irish name. I think Violet is a sweet name and you don’t hear it that often.

    I see jennifer garner as much more the parent type in this relationship. But that is just me.

  22. RAN says:

    Very interesting names Bodhi and the rest of you who have thrown out a few. I have always liked interesting names – not weird names like Apple, but interesting ones that stand out from everyone else. (You could never tell that from my generic screen name though ๐Ÿ™‚ )

    TC – I got that same vibe. He’s walking in front to keep people away from his girls – she’s not walking two feet behind him for any reason.

  23. vdantev says:

    Anything is better than Pilot Inspecktor or Apple ๐Ÿ™„

  24. Aline says:

    Lindos!!!

  25. MC says:

    Hello, people. Declan is pronounced DEK-lin, not de-KLAN.

  26. Great Site! I wanted to ask if I would be able quote a portion of your web page and use a couple of items for a school assignment. Please let me know through email if that would be fine. Thanks
