So far about the only name we agree on is/was Brock. We both really liked the name until we realized that people might assume we named our son after Barack. I'm sure Barack is a nice guy, but I'm definitely not naming my son after him! What would YOU do?
We're leaning towards Jacob now but I still really like Brock. Help!

Good point. How about Jacob Brock?
My second son in named Jacob and I have loved the name. It fits him so well. Doug and I have the HARDEST time with boy names. After we had our first son, Andrew, I said Heavenly Father would never make us name another son...now I have 3. It hasn't got any easier. I keep saying our marriage can't stand to have to go through naming another boy. We can agree on a lot of girl names, but no boy names. I just hope I get to use one of the girl names I like before I'm done. Good luck!
I say if you and Aaron both still like Brock the most, then go with Brock. I do not think the most people will assume that he was named after Barack.
Although if you really can't do it because of the whole Barack thing go with Jacob. I love Jacob.
Either way you win.
A boy. A boy. I'm still so excited for you!
I really don't think is sounds anything like Barack. I know a few boys named Brock and not once did it cross my mind. I think you guys are good with which ever names. I love both. But people need to quit confusing my kids! They keep getting cousins named the same thing on both sides and they have no idea who I am ever talking about! Fun that you guys get to do boy names!
I really like Brock, too. I also like Brody, which sounds similar. I think boy names are SOOO hard to pick. I really like Jacob, too but Jeff's brother is Jacob so it was out for us. Good luck! I looked at a TON of baby name websites and we made a list of about 20 names we liked. We didn't think of Drew until about a week before he was born. It will come :)
PS: Yes, I notice weird numbers too and LOVE Drew's birthday of 3-6-9. Everyone in the hospital commented on it :)
Honestly, if you just told me you were naming him Brock, I would have never made the connection to Barack or assumed it was after him.
I like Brock & do think it is much different, but if you are going to be reminded of Barack now, I'd find a new name! How about Blake? I love that name. :)
MEH MEH MEH! Brock is a good solid name. Anyone who thinks its barrack can answer to me. YOU know I can take them. I Like Lee for a middle name! :P
Um, no offense to Gabe, but I definitely wouldn't use Brock with the middle name Lee...Brock Lee...Now, about Brock itself. I like the name, but agreee that if it makes you think of Barack now, you should try again...for a name that is :) I do like Jacob. I like Lucas and Preston also, if you are looking for suggestions...if not, just ignore me. We love you!
What about Camden? Griffin? Sawyer? Brayden? Maverick? I love Maverick!!!!!!!!!!!
By the way, I forgot to say in my other comment that I love the name Brock, and I don't think it's at all like Barack... Whatever you can agree on is the most important (and most difficult):)
Wow! Tough decision...Looks like you already have lots of input. I didn't think of Barack until you said it.
this is nate, first of all...anyway, i think you can just follow in your old ways. after jayci was born, you all decided to name your child maci (maycie?, wow, i am a terrible brother, uncle, etc.). okay, so i think since this is a boy you should focus on a name like bayton, hayten, or rayton. you know, something fairly similar to treyton. i say this just because i know how much you all look up to us and put us on a pedestal. i hope this clears things up for you!!! we love you guys!!!
Ha, ha, rayton it is!
I love all the suggestions people are giving us. Boy names are tough. Girl names are much easier.
I think Aaron's new BOM hero is Jacob so I think that may be it. I've always liked that name anyway. We'll see though.
Ha! So great. Don't say I didn't tell you! I guess there will be two jacob sharps!
