I'M PREGNANT! :-)

After years and years of being a baby name addict, I get to name one! Wahoo! My DH and I are expecting our first child somewhere around 8/17/05, or whenever the little bundler decides to make an entrance in this world.

Our boy's name will be Carter. DH is adament, and I like the name. (His criteria for a name is does it sound good on a sports player...lol). However, we are stumped for middle names.

I'm hesitant to use a family name, because his mother and my father are both very domineering figures (upset one if the other family gets chosen, etc.) Only one of our grandparents has passed away, and his grandfather's name has been used by a cousin. So I guess the field is wide open, though I would like an actual NAME and not a SURNAME.

Is it dorky to want cool initials? Like C.S. Jones? Carter S. Jones? (C.S. Lewis is one of my favorite authors, and I work in the writing field.)

Anyone have good "S" middle name suggestions (not Steven or Simon)?

THANKS!!!!
Jonesy

Carter is nice and I like that the CS Lewis conncection if you are not using a family name. Here are some S names to consider:

Carter Samuel *
Carter Sawyer
Carter Scott *
Carter Seamus
Carter Sebastian
Carter Shane
Carter Stefan
Carter Stewart/Stuart *

I always liked "Sterling" for a strong sounding boys "S" name.
