She wanted to name her Holly Elizabeth after her oldest childhood friend (they had known each other since they were 9 months old, so a 29 year friendship). I wanted a good Irish name like Maura. For boys names, we were a little fuzzier but both liked Conor.Turned out to be a girl and after the 36 hours of labor, I relented on the name to my wife's choice.For our second kid, we told the ultrasound tech that it was OK to determine the baby's sex since we had already gone through the process of surprise with the first one. Turns out this one was a boy. Our first choice of names had changed over the years to Aiden, but Aiden has been wildly popular lately. I attribute this to the character in Sex in the City, but I'm not positive. So we decided we wanted something else. The middle name was already set at William because that's my name and that's been the growing family tradition: the son gets his dad's name as his middle name. One day, my wife stumbles on a name and emails me. It's one we hadn't thought of, is a little unusual but is kind of nice and cool. We talk about it with other people and their reactions are all the same: a little surprise, but ultimately thinking the name is kind of cool. So we ran with it. We named him Griffin and, while a bit different, it just kind of works. He just turned 1 year old a month ago and is going strong. We even got a Folkmanis puppet for him that's a griffon, and it's almost as big as he is.</blockquote>
