That Hayden is a beautiful creature. And the movie looks good, too. Rubella has potential. And SHeila, Griffin was my g-pa’s last name. I love the name.

I like Hayden. I think I’m the only one, but it gets my vote! (Probably because I keep seeing commercials for Jumper. And thus, I think Haydens are beautiful creatures.)

ACTUALLY she may be on to something! I think Griffith or Griffin would be awesome! But then you know how I feel about Bennett and Luke. The name Bennett requires a reference to dogs that don’t hunt, and the name Luke…well there are so many directions to go with that one. Moccasins? Harleys? Salad Bars?
Ha! That will be funny until the day I die. Rubella was actually pretty funny too. s

You can always do what I do. Open up your inbox and grab the first male name you see on one of the spam messages. Lets see. Right now mine are Luther, Todd and Wendell. Todd and Bella has a nice ring to it.

I’d vote for Bennett, but I’m thinking there are too many b’s in Bennett and Bella. Too much like siblings.

I still like the names Emilie Loring used- they usually match your criteria too. The hero in “For All Your Life” is named Griff. Bella and Griff, Griff and Bella. Ok, maybe not. I hate naming men.

Loved the video.

I don't guess I've paid that much attention to what people were wearing on American Idol.

You could call him Reuben. Then when you slur Reuben and Bella together it becomes Rubella (German measles).

On a serious note, I wouldn't know what to call the poor kid, but I think you should choose a name with an odd number of syllables because it will sound better when you say, "[name] and Bella." I had a similar character that I called Neal. He even has his own blog. So, you could ask him what he thinks, but I don't think he'll say much.

Hey! My grandfather was named Horace …

Out of all of them, I think I like Luke best. Not sure why. Keaton makes me think of Alex Keaton on Family Ties! Max is okay. Steele seems a little harsh but it does sound strong. Bennett, not sure about. Hayden makes me think of Hayden Christianson (I think that’s his name), the guy who played Annakin Skywalker. Connor is good too. Brody I kinda like as well, but it doesn’t seem as strong.

Aren’t you glad you asked me?

Who’s winning so far on your poll?

Luke sounds like a good name – normal enough, but kind of smart sounding. Then again, I tend to pick not-so-normal names, so I might not be the best reference. : )

Can’t wait until I can read your next book! Keep writing…
