I know I thought we had our names narrowed down to the Sawyer Chase, Hudson Chase or Griffin Chase.. But last night Misty threw in the name Wyatt Chase. It is a bit more popular that I was originally thinking but in Alabama is it only number 72 on the top 100, on the page I saw. We seem to like it a lot, but we just can't seem to decided. NEVER in my life did I even consider naming a baby would be so hard. So I thought I would ask the ladies who knew best. : ) So what do you think.. also we are still considering anymore suggestions, honestly we are just in desperate need of some help... lol.
On a good note we have settled on a baby girls name... lol.

Need to update a ticker, Silas Anthony Jordon born Oct 11, 2013. 6th baby, so much love!
don't like Sawyer
Griffin is more popular where I am than Wyatt. I think it's a great solid name, Griffin Chase.
Don't like Chase as middle name with Wyatt.
I fluctuate on what I think about the name Wyatt. I wonder if in 20 years it will sound like "Wayne" or "Gary" sounds to us now. But at the moment it sounds really cool. I don't know, I go back and forth on that name.
I think Hudson or Griffin are more "test of time" names either way
Have you thought about Chase for a first name?!
Goobie.. Honestly those were my choices out of this. I also put in Sullivan but it's like everything is " AWW thats cute" and then we change our mind.
Hadley(love "Hadley" btw).. We have considered Chase as a first name, and for some reason we just thought it was a better middle name.
I honestly like Griffin better. It is not in the top 100 and as stupid as it sounds I wanted to be able to give our child a reason for naming him/her whatever we chose. I chose Griffin, because of Harry Potter... Gryffindor.. Harry potter is like my favorite thing in the world. I also plan on reading Harry Potter a bunch to him lol. I know its a cheesy reason and its a cheesy way to choose a name, but I wanted it to be a part of something that makes both of his parents HAPPY.
I had such a difficult time deciding on a name for my son. I was sooooooo stressed about it. I went to to the hospital with 5 name choices. When my son was born I new the minute I saw him his name was Mason. Mason didn't even go on the list until the last week of pregnancy. I never imagined this would be his name, but it just fit. All this to say, don't be hard on yourself if you don't have a name for your baby right away. It is a big decision. I believe in the end you will see your baby and know the perfect name for him/her. More importantly, if you are not sure don't settle.
I LOVE the name Sawyer!
To comment on your specific name choices standing the test of time (this was a huge decision factor for us...we didn't want a really popular name or a name that was unheard of):
Griffin has held steady in the mid 200's in the top 500 names since 1996.
Hudson has more recently made the top 500 in 2001 and has steadily increased in popularity since and now sits at 150.
Wyatt has been in the top 200 since 1999 and the top 100 since 2004.
Sawyer has been in the top 500 since 1999 and has held pretty steady in the low 200's the past four years.
I love referring to the social security website for looking up name trends: http://www.ssa.gov/OACT/babynames/
We chose the name Griffin because of the name's meaning - a legendary creature with the body of a lion and the head and wings of an eagle. As the lion was traditionally considered the king of the beasts and the eagle was the king of the birds, the griffin was thought to be an especially powerful and majestic creature. The griffin was also thought of king of the creatures. Griffins are known for guarding treasure and priceless possessions.
The baby name book had the meaning listed as "unconventional" which we thought was pretty fitting for the circumstances.
