All Chris and I are ever asked is if we have picked a name for nugget #2 yet. This task was daunting, we felt we had decided on THE perfect name when we picked Kinsler Ryan. We kept asking ourselves if it was possible to "top" it (Kinsler), is it appropriate to think of a name in that way? Do we keep with the Rangers theme? I really wanted to keep the same initials for all our kids (KRC), will it be possible to find a Ranger player we like that will fit the criteria? Do we abandon the idea of Rangers theme and go more baseball generic or abandon all together? I really wanted to incorporate "Ky" in some way which severely limited our choices especially to keep the Rangers theme. Then, when we finally narrowed the choices down to 3 names and then to 2 (for just the first name mind you) we were deadlocked. So, the next question was "Is 4 names too many?" (2 firsts, middle, last), should we hyphenate? How does one appropriately hyphenate 2 first names? And of course at some point you ask "Are we over thinking this?". Maybe, but names are important (we feel).
Needless to say this is why it took us awhile to decide on a name for little man.
Alas, we did decide:
We decided on a first name that followed the Rangers theme and a middle name that just happened to be a family name on Chris's side and kept the initials the same as Kinsler's. Success.
Kolby Reece Collins
Kolby - Colby Lewis a Rangers pitcher. Reece became a fast favorite for a middle name and then we found out it is Chris's grandmother's maiden name (although spelled differently than what we decided on). I'm also not convinced that I won't be calling him "Ky" at some point as a nickname, derived from the first and last letters of his first name, I'm seriously in love with that name. (See the indecisive problem we ran into? Kolby-Ky Reece Collins, who doesn't love that??? If you don't opinions to yourself please.)
