Eli James Malone

We finally settled on a name for our baby boy. We spent months trying to decide between, Knox and Jaxon, and actually decided to go with Knox. However, we both never felt completely satisfied with it. So, two weeks ago (30 minutes after deciding on Knox) we were driving home and I had the thought, "What if he gets older and hates his name? Is there any other name out there?" Out of nowhere the name, Eli, pops into my head. In all of our time deciding on a name never did we mention that one. It just never occurred to us. So, after having the thought I look over at Allison and said, "What do you think about the name, Eli?" She smiled and said she really liked it. From that moment on his name was, Eli (and Eli was his name-o). For all of you who were thrown for a loop when you found out the name was Eli, be comforted to know that we were just as surprised.
