Of course I’m going to vote for Micah, but my second choice would have been Malachi. As a teacher, I would feel sorry for little Micaiah and the multitude of people that would butcher his name the rest of his life.
Actually, I’m really liking Malachi Marchessault. It has a good ring to it!

“Micaiah” sounds like a girl’s name. Of course, I would never have said that to Micaiah’s face, as he probably would have called down fire from Heaven or something…

Everybody would probably butcher the pronunciation of Micaiah so I voted for Ladainian Gwynn. You just have to be sure to spell Ladainian correctly. Jamie’s suggestion is a virtual tie, with Micah pulling in third.
By the way, your “Favorite Aunt’s” comments are priceless but then again, should anything less be expected from this family of tactful personalities?

I was hoping for more options.

Well I’m not so sure about the first name and middle names together, i like micah though but if you wanted to name him after you Bobby then his middle name should be Banana. I voted for the Ladanean Gwynn.

Oh and Linda, you may need to drop that “favorite” title off your signature after those comments!

If you want more middle names, go ahead and suggest em. First names too! Doesn’t mean we’ll use em, but you just could get lucky.
Eric-I kinda expected you to say that.
Geez, thanks a lot Linda. And again, a new middle name is an option, but we thought maybe we’d name after his dad a little. More than just the last name I mean.
Good example of throwing out new options – Jamie. Now that is a great idea. Maybe I should add it to the poll!

I saw Micah since its a boy. I would almost say Micaiah is more girly.

When did you rule out Jack Bauer Marchessault?

Not thrilled with either, they are almost identical. Not much of an option. Where the heck did Robert come from???? Maybe you should have done a video so I could hear the audio on how they are pronounced. :0)
