What's in a name?
I was actually surprised at how easily Steve and I came to a consensus on the name of our first born child. I have had a running list for my whole life and none of those names were too appealing to Steve. I had some silly requirements for the name (the kid has to be able to say it, not too hard to spell in Kindergarten, not too crazy/offbeat, etc). I would have loved a family name but none really "go" with the last name Cox (i.e you all know my dad's name is Harry, so Harry Cox would be a little inappropriate!) We came up with a short list and narrowed it down to Jacob and Connor. Steve preferred Connor as the first name and I preferred Jacob (Jake for short). Steve went away on a business trip the week before Father's Day and while he was gone I reconsidered my choice. I got him a Father's Day card for him and while signing "Love, Stacy" I wrote "and Connor". It seemed to flow off my pen and I liked the way it sounded. So Connor Jacob will be joining us in October. We aren't sure yet but we like the sound of C.J. for a nickname.
