Cute isn't he? Papa and I went out for lunch after the ultrasound and named him. All three names, but we'll only share the first one until the birth. It took us two full hours to name him, the longest time ever! We went alphabetically and got to T!!! Not much after T! Lol. Papa doesn't like boys names that start with a vowel, we are off J names and there are a LOT OF BIBLICAL J NAMES, and our last boy was S so we didn't want another S name so soon. That makes naming rather difficult!
His name is Tobiah. Yes it's a biblical boys name keeping our tradition, there are two men named Tobiah in the Bible :) We didn't realize until after the announcement that one of the two men named Tobiah in the Bible was kicked out of the temple for some reason. Lol. Hopefully that doesn't mean he'll be a little trouble maker ;) Papa read the names out and told me what they meant and Tobiah means 'Yahweh is good.' Good strong meaning and we both liked the name but it really seemed to settle in my heart and I told Papa that was the name. He agreed and we stopped looking and matched up some middle names to go with it. Then we checked the initials :) and made sure no words were spelled; they weren't :)
Now, for the record, I was having a bit of a hard time remembering it but I think I've got it now! We don't know any Tobiah's and I'm not sure I've ever even heard the name before which, of course, is my excuse. The kids were pretty excited but they did wonder at the name as it isn't one they've ever heard. I think they are getting used to it too :)

I've heard of "Tobias" before, Toby for short. Great choice!
I liked Tobias, but Papa doesn't at all. The as on the end bugs him apparently. Both are biblical names though which is cool :)
