Carson David Roberts

We have picked a name! It took Daniel and me a long time to decide what we would name our baby. We both have strong opinions and different decision-making styles which actually led to a bit of conflict - so good practice for the many decision-making opportunities I'm sure we'll have as parents.
At first we were pretty sure we'd go with a Bible name, but felt that most were either too generic, or didn't go well with "Roberts".
We thought a lot about family names as well, and most became contenders for the baby's middle name. Hence, "David". It's the best of both worlds: Bible name and a Roberts' family name.
Carson is a name I've liked for a long time and doesn't have a meaning or tradition really, but we both felt like it was a strong, masculine name that sounds good with Roberts.
So kudos to all you parents who have named kids without scarring them for life - it is our hope that we will join your ranks as well.
