By Any Other Name!

Chances are most of you who read the blog already knew the going name for our "home makeover baby addition" which will come to fruition in May. Even so Emily chose to take a page out of the Weaver baby blog handbook with the ole' "Cat...Bag?" story, and mentioned his name in one of her recent blogs. Anyways...not as though it was some big surprise but the lil bun in the oven will go by Hunter Ehren Chapman, when he is not being oogeled and baby talked to being called cutie and sweetie. We did very little quibbling about what the name would be (although Emily wanted to name him after furniture at first "Ethan Allen") but more so about how we would spell it. I do not profess to be an excellent speller, in fact….any blog I type, is first written in Microsoft Word and spell checked before I ever even think about posting it, but I really think I am right on this one. I wanted something strong and with character and we both agreed on the name (AARON) but I wanted a different spelling! Em waivered a bit but started throwing out some suggestions....she leaned strongly towards erin, erinn, ehrin, ehrinne.....but I denounced them all as feminine spellings. Finally I talked her into the old English (Irish) spelling "Ehren" I love it!!!! Some may think that I am naming my son after one of my favorite things to do....this is not the case, if it were his name would have been golfer!!!! But that is not very becoming now is it.
