Guess the Name Contest
I know some of you have been waiting eagerly for this, so I thought I would use a little bit of my lunch break today to get this contest up and running. For those of you who don't know, Natalie and I found out on Wednesday that the little Ward baby growing inside of her right now is a BOY. We are so excited...and the best part is that the doctor said everything looked GREAT! The baby is developing just as he should.
Since we know it is a boy now, we want to host a little contest here on our blog to see who can guess the name of our baby boy. Below we have listed 12 names...one of them is the name we have chosen, and we want to know which name you think that is. Leave a comment to submit your guess. NOTE: Many of the names we have listed are ones we strongly considered...a few of them we did not consider for even a second. Have fun and good luck!
The first name will be Jonathan (that is my first name...my Great Grandpa, Grandpa, and Dad are all named John, so we will keep the pattern going). His name will be...
Jonathan _____________ WardÂ
We will call him by his middle name.
POSSIBLE NAMES TO CHOOSE FROM:
1. Oliver
2. Cadence
3. Rudy
4. Greyson
5. Griffin
6. Dawson
7. Wesley
8. Owen
9. Elias
10. Liam
11. Peyton or Payton
12. Judiah
To submit your guess click on the word "comments" below, leave your name and guess, then scroll down and press the "publish your comment" button. Good Luck!

Great news that everything went well. We are so excited that Evan will have a little guy to play with!
I've narrowed it down to three: Elias, Greyson, or possibly Cadence. I'm torn between Greyson and Elias. If I have to pick one, I'll go with Greyson.

Ward - I change my submission. A quick wikipedia search told me that "Elias" is the greek form of the name Elijah, the Hebrew prophet.
I promise I'll quit spamming your blog with posts now.

Well I know your love for Manning and Wesley would be great for a "Wesleyan" but I am guessing Liam or Elias...but if I had to pick, it would be Liam, how long does this contest last, I think as host of your shower I should know immediately so I can have gifts and items monogramed, there is so much to do...Jennifer Lee

I think it is Rudy. Notre Dame. Football. Tyler. Usher.
7:28 PM
Elias. Final answer. Only because Matt isn't on the list.
10:17 PM
I am re-thinking my answer. Rudy doesn't sound as classy as my write-in choices:
1. Waldo
2. Elmo
3. Tyrese
4. Natyler
5. Booker
6. Billy
7. Jr. Pastor
8. Dwight
9. Arlo
10. Ralphie
11. Matt

Okay...I know that Tyler is a huge ND fan, and I know that Natalie is a huge Grey's Anatomy fan, but I don't think of Natalie as going with the cutsie name route. I am going to go with my guy instinct of Liam.
10:37 AM
I am going with Greyson all the way. Jami thinks Peyton or Wesley, and Matt thinks Oliver. FINAL ANSWERS!
12:56 PM
ELIAS IS THE BEST NAME!! But I'm goin with Billy because it is short for Bill.... Bill Bratsky.. He's only the father of all your children!!! haha
5:35 PM
Lauren's guess is Elias.
6:37 PM
Ashley is picking Judiah.
Lauren would like to change her guess to Dawson.
I personally like Kathy's suggestions of Ralphie, Tyrese, or Arlo.
God gave us two girls because we had such trouble choosing boy names. LOL
6:41 PM
OKay, For some reason I think it is Oliver or Griffen. I can't wait to find out.

5:56 PM
Hi Nanny and Tyler I think my first greatgranbabys name is Wesley.I looked for Bubba on the list,that would've been my first pick but it was'nt there.Love to both of you. Can't wait to see you Love Grandma Penny
6:12 PM
We are so excited to hear you're having a boy! (Girl next time, right?!) Jeff is guessing Greyson, but I think I will guess Owen. We can't wait for him to get here no matter what his name is! Love to you both,
Jeff and Andrea
7:18 PM
Well....I know how much Tyler loves the colts, so Peyton is out. Unfortunately. It's such a quality name, and therefore you know you'd have a superstar. But...this is my thinking, since I'm going to help him be a superstar soccer player, I like Landon (after Landon Donovan of course!) So if I was naming it, that's what I'd pick. Lucky for you guys...I'm not! So...my pick is Dawson. Hope I'm right...if all else fails, we'll just name him Kelly. I mean guys can have that name too right?! Either that, or Natalie you should have him born on my birthday (even though you'd prefer it on the 8th...)
(Pat says Rudy (he's a Notre Dame fan too...)
10:53 PM
I choose Cadence - I love the nickname Cade - it is so manly!
Tammy
10:35 AM
This was so hard. I have to pick Greyson. Matthew (my son) said to tell you he picks Owen.
Deb
11:32 AM
as a Colts fan, I have to say Peyton. even if I don't really think that's what you're going to name him....
11:57 AM
I vote Oliver.
But I do like Natyler.
1:18 PM
emilia thinks...greyson...wierd name if you ask me and why she has a blog i have no idea...LARRY meow :)
3:31 PM
I love love love the name Grayson!!! So cute! I love the name Cadence too. So much, I want to use it on my first child too! Well, first girl, but it'd be KAYdence. ;) anyways.... I think that I would go with Grayson or Dawson!!! SOOOOOOO EXCITED!!!

6:54 PM
Lucas, You are still the youngest, and you always will be! Aunt Tam, I LOVE the name Oliver. I can just see little Oliver in an argyle sweater very with chubby thighs! SO SO CUTE! But, Nan and Ty, I think Elias will be adorable and I will call him Eli, because I think that is WAY WAY CUTE too!
