I know you all just love seeing how huge I can get so here's a picture of "us" at 36 weeks. Thankfully, I'm feeling really good and am still able to do just about everything (except touch my toes, but when could I really do that anyway?). At our last ultrasound the baby measured 6 lbs 10 oz. I'm hoping he's a little less than that, or at least doesn't grow a pound a week for the next 3 weeks like he's supposed to, but it's out of my hands and I'm just thankful he still looks as healthy and happy as ever. D-day is right around the corner and it really sneaked up on us, but I think we're as ready as we'll ever be except for one little thing. The man doesn't have a name. We've never been able to name before seeing a new little family member, but this time we don't even have a proper list. So - please feel free to leave a name suggestion in the comments. Bear in mind that it can't be anything remotely generic and it has to be hyper-masculine.

You look simply amazing! Let me think of a good baby name for you. Hmmm, unique and masculine. Tregan, Addison - although both of those might not be so unique anymore. There's always Coriantumr, Nephihah, or Moroni (my grandpa's name is Moroni but he went by his middle - George - all his life). I'm sure you'll find something that has a ring for you! Good luck!
How about Butch? That's a tough name! I am quite partial to Levi, Ethan, Devin and Adam. You look amazing. I have never looked that at 36 weeks! Way to go!
Seriously you look so good! I can't believe you only have a few weeks left. I love Tenison, Payson and Quinten.
My vote is for Thor! Ok, not really, but how about:
Korbin, Mason, Ian, Noah, Jesse, Keaton, Maddox, Quinn, Chase, Hunter, Preston, Brock, Parker, Ryder, Grant, Easton, Holden, Jameson, Tucker, Beau, Dax, Aspen, Gavin, Kai, or Taryn.
Holly has the same problem, and so I searched for lots of names. Russ' niece is the queen of unusual with Logan (except that one) Sabin, Nivin, and Zaron. Unfortunately they often get called Logan, Ogden, Nephi, and Zion. Mormon humor, go figure.
Toni, thank you so much for the picture. And for the record, you don't look huge at all! I've seen some pregnant ladies much bigger than you lately. Sorry, I'm no good for the name ideas! Actually, I did hear the name Daxton at my little elementary school and I loved it.
YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL! And you know me I wouldn't say that if I didn't mean it. Fabulous....YOU ARE! No help on the names, we had a hard enough time naming ours.....although I seem to remember you had several suggestions for me, where did they all go? :)
You look soooo good Toni Dee! Good for you! ONly 4 more weeks to go. You know you could always have a 10 1/2 lb baby like Logan was. ;) That would be cool! Hee Hee.
Oh my Toni Dee!! You look marvelous. I hope you feel as good as you look. I wish I could help you with names . . . nothing coming to mind. Sorry! I love you to pieces.
Finally a pregnancy picture. I have been wanting to see the progress. You're stunning. (I say amen to every other post here. You're truly beautiful, and let's hope that that's a hereditary gene that I get.)
No good name ideas from me, but I have a DON'T: Hugo (at the preschool I'm working at, they call him "Hugie" for short, and that's way too close to "Loogie" for my tastes).
wow toni, you are brave to ask for ideas. personally I will name my first born child "Burnt" what a name. :) not truely, but its a paint color! :) the most I can think of that is "not remotely generic" are paint colors, so here are a few. Cobalt, Veridian, transparent oxide (laughing) poor child. Quanacradone.... not much help, but at least a laugh at imagining the poor life that person would live... Hey, there is always Sue.
you look so great!! So I have decided there are some really great daring women out there..you included. I think I tried multiple times to break our camera while I was prego so my husband would not even think of taking a photo. You look so great...mabie I just need to look that good and I will get up the gumption to do so!!
