If we do pick your name- there WILL BE a reward!

  2. carrisa Says:

    Jackson
    Aidan
    Parker

  3. whittakerwoman Says:

    I am so out of names. I have some girls names of friends that I like but I have NO boy names. Oh I wish I could help. I will keep thinking. H

  4. Therese Says:

    I love the old traditional bible names like Paul Joseph Larson or Joseph Paul.

  5. Betsy Says:

    I have no input on baby names, but I like the redesign. :)

  6. grandy Says:

    Andrew Wade Larson call him Drew IN him there is no guile`

  7. grandy Says:

    oops wrong guy that was Nathaniel I still like the name Drew

  8. grandy Says:

    Andrew means manlly, or man warrior. that’s a good thing for a man boy mom

  9. Tyson – What could be better than the TY boys. Tyler and Tyson. One will be a fantastic musician and songwriter and the other a fantastic left handed pitcher who throws cheese. What could be better?

  10. AmyM Says:

    Hmm…

    A few of my favorites:

    Brayden
    Parker
    James
    Jake
    Alex
    Garrett
    Tate

    I love the new blog look, by the way!

  11. Brent Says:

    Brent is always a solid name…but the unused boy names we had were….
    Quinn
    Jack
    Davis
    William

  12. Melissa Says:

    What about…

    Craig
    Marcus

    I really like Jackson but it doesn’t go with Larson…to many sons.
    Or you could do Ashley…that’s a good southern boy name. :)

  13. Tonya Says:

    I do like Andrew aka Drew a lot Claudia…good call. So long as it doesn’t get switched to Andy.
    Brad-while Tyson is a nice name you CAN NOT have 2 sons with virtually the same name. You are really stressing me out by thinking that you can! The nick name Tye is the same for both names.
    Here are a couple of suggestions from the auntie:
    Jude
    Asher
    Seth
    Jonah (he did obey eventually)
    Benjamin
    Cameron (though this means crooked nose-it is your maiden name)
    Colton
    Connor
    Gage or Gaige
    Chip (like Chipper Jones)
    Vincent (Vince-Grandpa Bocchini would be proud)

  14. Deann Says:

    Jackson, Colson, Kaden, Samuel, Jacob (imagine that!).

    Since your first boy has one of our boy names, you technically should name your other boy after our other name. Then you can have a Jacob (Jake) and a Tyler. :)

  15. J.T. Says:

    zack
    slater
    screech
    Mr Belding

  16. Cristin Says:

    How about…..

    MAN!! I had such a good one for you guys like a month ago…what was that?….hmmmm….nope, it’s not there.
    how about….

    Daryl, Matthew (I know, I know… :) ), Eaughen (pronounced Owen…It’s Irish! – I seriously love this name….and I might be a little jealous if you name him this…because Matt won’t go for it…at least not for our first boy. It’s a seriously cool name. :) I may be able to convince him still….no. Not gonna happen. You guys don’t even have any Irish in your blood, do you? It’s a shame. :)
    Hey, when are you due?

  17. Terri Says:

    I love Amy’s suggestion of Braydon… that’s a cool name! Braydon Wade Larson … sounds like an actor. Ok, or a famous baseball player:-)

  18. metromom Says:

    JT is banned from thinking of any other names….

  19. wes Says:

    uh the best names are

    tyson wade (this is the bomb name of the ages!!!)
    adrian wade
    bryson wade
    jackson (or jaxon) wade

    and dont name him dillon, for the love of all that is pure and holy…i mean, don’t get me wrong we all will still love him even if you name him dillon, but he probably will have to go to therapy because of the insecurity he would have due to such a commonly used name. this would not be good…plus his older brother, you know when there in school, would be the mac daddy…he will feel inferior to his older bro because, let’s face it, tyler IE tyboy, just exudes coolness…by the way i am right so don’t disagree!!! and get over it, i write how i talk…

  20. wes Says:

    by the way tonya is wrong

  21. Kathryn Says:

    Wes and Brad,

    I have to side with Tonya. You can’t have TWO Ty’s in the family!!! There’s a family at my church who have two boys named Connor and Collin…I can NEVER get their names right or figure out who is who??? I feel like they have the SAME NAME. Tyson and Tyler = same name.

    Other than that, just don’t name him George. Not that you’d want to, unless you have a family member named George like we do. Go with Harry. I’m sure Brad and Wes would like that name. :)

  22. Emily Says:

    what about brylee?? Or I’ve also been a fan of evan…

  23. Carol Says:

    I am a believer of putting one family name in the mix. Have you already used Dean for Tyler’s middle name? I can’t remember… now all the sudden I am questioning if Dean is Brad’s middle name. Anyway, here are a few of my picks:

    Cameron Davis (I would probably have him go by “Davis”)
    Henry Dean
    Andrew “Drew” Cameron (agree “Drew” is a great name)

    I also like:
    Brady
    Reed
    Griffin

    I say no to having a Tyler and a Tyson…

  24. Saturday Night Skit to remember in all of this:
    [ open on a married couple trying to think of a name for their unknown baby ]

    Wife: I was thinking about Joseph.

    Husband: [ turned off ] Joseph?

    Wife: Yeah. Joseph.

    Husband: Well.. it’s a nice name, but the kids are gonna call him “Joe Blow”. I mean, as long as you know that. Or “Sloppy Joe”, you know.. “How are Mr. & Mrs. Schmo?”

    Wife: Well, I guess that’s true..

    Husband: I mean, it’s a nice name.

    Wife: Well, that’s alright. How about John? That’s nice and simple.

    Husband: What, are you serious?

    Wife: Well, yeah.

    Husband: John? You want to do that to the kid?

    Wife: Do what?
    Husband: [ mimicking ] “Hey, John! Hey, let’s go to the john. Huh, John? Let’s go!”

    Wife: Well.. wouldn’t he outgrow those jokes?

    Husband: Look, kids are mean. I just want him to have a happy childhood, too.. but, “Long John Silver”? I mean, I don’t know what to say!

    Wife: Okay, okay, okay.. Well.. um.. what about Peter?

    Husband: Oh, right. Sure. Peter. Let’s just put him up for adoption right now, save the kid a lot of agony. I mean, obviously – no Peter, no Dick, no Rod! Can we just discuss this intelligently, please?

    Wife: Yes, we can. [ thinking ] Okay.. um.. William.

    Husband: William. Good. “Wee Willie!” “Chilly Willy!” “Willie Wonka! Hey! Where’s your chocolate factory?! Oompa-Loompa” every day of his life!

    Wife: Ddi you get teased a lot as a kid?

    Husband: [ defensive ] No, I did not. Did you tease a lot of kids? Because, judging from these names you’re picking, you don’t seem to be very sensitive.

    Wife: Okay, I’ll just keep trying.. What about Fred?

    Husband: [ sighing ] Please.. Fred, Frank.. lease, the F’s are no good. If he’s fat, it’s just a disaster.

    Wife: Okay, alright. Um.. Sam?

    Husband: Great. Sam. “Uncle Sam.” “I want you.. to be ostracized!”

    Wife: Then, let’s Paul.

    Husband: Right. Paul. “Hey, Paul, where’s Peter and Mary?!”

    Wife: What?

    Husband: Peter, Paul and Mary. “Hey, Paul! Play me a folk song, and then I’ll beat the crap out of you!

    Wife: Well, at this point, I’d just settle for anything. How about.. Jack?

    Husband: [ thinking ] Hmm.. yeah.. yeah, Jack’s a fine name.

    Wife: Really?

    Husband: Oh, yeah.. as long as we make his middle name O’Lantern! Because that is what everyone’s gonna call him!

    Wife: Okay.. fine.. what about ben?

    Husband: Ben! Oh, fine, we’re giving birth to a big bear? Great! “Gentle Ben!” “Hey, Ben, where’s Jerry? Get me some ice cream, or I’ll beat the crap outta ya’!

    Wife: We could call him “Benjamin”.

    Husband: Sure. Benjamin. Harrison! “Hey, Benjamin, how’s that tariff coming?! Montana a state yet?!”

    Wife: Well, what about.. Todd?

    Husband: [ stretching for an excuse ] Todd.. Todd.. Tad! “Tadpole!” Our son’s a tadpole! “Hey, Tadpole, I don’t like you! Thank your parents!”

    Wife: Now, come on, I said “Todd”, not “Tad”. You changed the name, that’s cheating.

    Husband: Yeah, and it took five seconds. It might take a kid ten.

    Wife: [ sighing ] Okay.. what about Harry?

    Husband: “Hey, Harry, where are the Hendersons?!”

    Wife: Oh, come on! Nobody even saw that movie!

    Husband: Kids saw it! Alright, one more.. come on, we can do it..

    Wife: Alright. Um.. Nate.

    Husband: “The Nate Rockne Story.” “Hey, Nate, where’s the Gipper?”

    Wife: What?

    Husband: [ pacing the room ] Na-ate! Na-ate! Do you like that sound? Well, you better get used to it! [ his wife walks across the room ] Hey, where are you going?

    Wife: [ leafing through book ] I’m looking at this Baby Name book, I thought it could help us.. [ looking through book ] How about Bjaardker?

    Husband: [ intrigued ] Oh?

    Wife: Bjaardker. It’s Icelandic.

    Husband: [ considering ] Yeah.. that’s a tough little name to crack. That could be good. [ puts his face up to his Wife's belly ] Hey, Bjaardker, little fellow. You might just have a good childhood, after all. [ Wife laughs ] Talk to you later.

    Wife: I love you.

    Husband: I love you. [ they kiss, as the doorbell rings ] You sit, honey.

    Wife: Alright.

    Husband: [ answering the door ] Yes?

    Telegram Deliverer: Hi, how you doing? I’ve got a telegram here for a Mr. & Mrs. Asswipe Johnson. I’m supposed to read it. [ holds telegram ] “Dear Asswipe & Emily: Congratulations on your upcoming blessed event. All our love, Bob & Diane.” Here you go, Sir. [ hands him the telegram ]

    Husband: Uh.. listen.. that’s “Os-wee-pay”.

    Telegram Deliverer: [ confused ] What?

    Husband: Uh.. forget it, forget it.. [ closes the door and sits next to his wife ]

    Wife: That was really nice of Bob and Diane.

    Husband: [ sighs ] Yeah, but why do they have to mention my name so much?

    Wife: Oh, honey..
