HelpRe: Opinions on names
in reply to a message by William
I think Laurens would be better as a middle name because of the close similarity to Lauren, it's a nice name but unfortunately I can see the teasing potential. How about Laurence instead?
I really like Samuel. Samuel Laurens, Samuel James or Samuel Ulysses would be nice.

I agree here re: Laurens, and also wanted to add, Will, that once you explained your fondness for Ulysses, I'd hate to see you NOT use it, you know? Samuel Ulysses does sound nice. Also, you said you liked the way the 'oo' sound of Lucas set up Ulysses so WDYT of something like Judah Ulysses or Reuben Ulysses or Louis Ulysses (pr. LOO-ee)? Just a thought ... I'm not really wild about the sound of Louis Lester, but you may love it so I thought I'd throw it out there.
BTW, I really love both Henry and Jack.

"BTW, I really love both Henry and Jack."
Now convince my wife? Haha. She thinks classic names are for old men :). I tell her I don't want my son to age with a name that can't. She also doesnt like the nickname Harry for Henry, which took other name I enjoyed, Harrison, off the list too :). When I say "list" I mean a literal list that I present to her, haha. She is like my editor, looking over it when a red pen :P. Just kidding. Anyways, I do like Louis but I already know she isn't fond of it. Right now I feel like I'm deciding between Samuel Ulysses and Samuel Laurens. I'll let you all know her reaction to it when I give her a call tonight, my time (currently in Afghanistan, so its 5:25PM my time but early morning still over there, as I'm sure you all know :)).

I guess popularity charts wouldn't convince her?
