The Name Game

A few days ago an article came out about the most popular baby names of 2015.
Top baby names of 2015

I was shocked to see both my boy's names in the TOP 5! We never wanted to name our babies "popular" names, but, yep, there they were.  Mason at number 3 and Logan number 5.  I guess I will have to come to terms with there will probably be kids in their class named the same as them. However, in 2011, Logan was #10 on the list and in 2014, Mason was #6.  Still in the top ten.  
People probably assumed we got their names from a baby name website, but we didn't.

When I was little, I used to play with a little girl down the street from us named Lindsey.  She had the cutest, blonde, blue-eyed baby brother named Logan. He was seriously the cutest baby ever. I mean up until I had my babies, of course.   I made up my mind right then (I think I was 6 years old!) that if I became a mommy to a boy, his name would be Logan.  Fast forward to the year 2010 and we found out we were pregnant.  In my heart, I knew it was a boy and so did Bryan.  We were eating at a restaurant and I wanted to have names picked out.  I told him I liked the name Logan and he agreed. He also liked it because that is the name of Wolverine (and if you ask Bryan, he will tell you we named him after Wolverine....NOT true.) We decided it would be Logan.
Not long after that, we went out of town to Houston.  We saw the "Mason Rd" exit. I immediately said, that I liked the name Mason too.  Bryan did too.  But we liked Logan a little bit better.  But we both agreed if we ever had another little boy, his name would be Mason.

So there you have it, that is how we came up with the names of our boys.

We never had any girl names picked out that we could agree on.  We tossed around a few:
Victoria--Bryan;s favorite, I did not like it.
Katelynn
Vivian
Lillian
Madelyn
Ellison
Karleigh
Kamryn
Cora
Bella
Quinn--this is my absolute favorite.  If I EVER have a girl (yes, we are SAYING we are done having kids, but things can change!) this would be her name.  Now getting the husband to agree on it would be a different story.
