Picking the baby's name can be a real exciting time for both parents and does give them the opportunity to bond. And it was no different with us. Nikki believes that the baby's name should mean something and she considers that to be very important so all the names being considered had some meaning. And we decided that we would not have a junior since I am set against that.
So, some time ago, we started the naming process which we turned into a slightly complicated project. We had initially come up with names all over the map. Then over the course of a few days we went through each others list and eliminated the names that we were dead set against.
From there we came up with a short list of about eight (four boys’ and girls’ names each) and then we ranked them (1 being the lowest 4 being the highest). Then we took both our rankings and averaged them, then applied some mathematical formula that we dreamed up. (Accountants for you!) The one with the highest rating was the winner. I think that the final result was Olivia Madison for a girl and Kyle for a boy.
Well after all that we ended up with Nicholas for the baby's name. Our rational for picking Nicholas? Other than the meaning we thought it would be nice to have our son named after mom and not dad.
We have a middle name though but there seems to be some flexibility here. So we decided to put a poll on this blog so please be sure to vote!

I love the names 'Bryce' and 'Kyle'. Nicholas is also nice.
If you go with Nicholas - the 'Nicholas Kaden' combination seems like a good one however.
I believe names should have meanings however.
Hi Mario,
Great job on the blog Mario. Nicholas Bryce Maxwell is a blessed boy. (hint hint)
This blog is really neat...
Personally I like the Nicholas Bryce is a great name.
I lean more on the theory of what a person envisions when a name is pronouced or read.

Well, I always believe that names should have meanings. This stemming from biblical days. I know Nicholas means "Victory" (since that's the reason I named Nikki, "Nicole"). So the meaning for Nicholas is two-fold, being named after his mom and also having a profound meaning. As for the middle name, I guess I like Bryce because it goes nicely with Nicholas. I like Norman, only because it's Mario's middle name. But my final vote would have to be Nicholas Bryce....
