Why is it so difficult to agree on a name for this poor child? Apparently we can't name him Luke because he's not one of the Duke boys. David doesn't like Levi. He doesn't like Cain (ok, I'll give him that one). He doesn't like Isaiah, or Micah, or Paul, or Thomas ("he's a train"), or Simeon, or Stephen, or Peter, or Drew, or most of the other names I've suggested.
His suggestions were Scott (you mean like Jorgens?), Adam (Barfield? I think not), and Justin. Um, no. We have a million relatives with names I sorta like but can't use- Benjamin, Joshua, Jeffrey, James, Alexander. He said Caleb wasn't too bad- I didn't mention that Kris' kid is named that. But then I saw it on a most popular list, so out that one goes.
David had grudgingly said Ezekiel, Isaac, Gideon (hey, I was just looking for anything at that point), and Ethan are ok. While I like most of those names well enough, I wouldn't really want to name my child any of them. So it looks like the only names we even halfway agree on are Joel and Seth. Then there's the middle name- now David has issues with William.............Maybe kids should be like Cabbage Patch dolls and come pre-named. At least then you just live with what you get.

What about Lucas, if not Luke?
And what's wrong with William? Joel William - it's cute and has a nice scream to it "Joel William Cornett, get in here right now!"
And don't use Gabriel, Isaiah, Noah, or Joshua - not that I actually think I will have children, but those are my boys names.
I like Gideon - he's my favorite on 7B47B.
And Caine with an E is gaining popularity. Somehow adding the E makes it less Cain and Able-ish. You could ask him to name him Able and then most names will sound great.
What about Judas?
Gideon is everyone's favorite, but that's no reason to name your child that. And since David has vetoed a few names on your list and for other reasons we won't use the others, you're safe for you non-existent kids' names.
After much discussion, David and Zach have decided that we CAN use the name Luke, as long as his middle name is Skywalker. Why did I even ask? I should've just filled out the birth certificate info while David was getting coffee.
You could do Luke Duke. It really does have a nice ring to it. OK, how about a middle name of WAF --- it's an acronym standing for William And Foy. Then you aren't technically using either one just the first letter of each one.
My real favorite is Ethan. Not that my vote counts for anything, but it is my vote nonetheless. How about Ethan Luke?
