Who Wants to Name Our Baby? Episode Nine: Semifinals

So where has the baby naming contest been? All I can say is, um, we've been a tad busy. Preparing for a baby takes some time, turns out.

But to answer your question, nope. Still no name for Baby X. Still, with less than a month before the little guy's due date, we're close.

And the FINAL THREE might surprise some of you. Because yes, we've resurrected the name Alexander. Eliminated in our last edition, but we quickly realized our mistake. Sure, the movie of the same name hasn't made any waves, but we can look past that. "Alexander" is strong, while "Alex" is a catchy -- and dare I say cute -- nickname for a little boy.

To make room for the return of Alexander, we're taking away two names this time. Say goodbye, after a very brief run, to Nathan. It just didn't work out. Sorry, Nathan. Also out: Matthew. It's a good, solid name, but "Matthew Michael" just seemed like too much of a mouthful.

So what's left? Glad you ask. We're pretty excited about the final three. They're all good names... but of course, we can only pick one.

The remaining three:

Alexander Michael Schneider
Evan Michael Schneider
Ryan Michael Schneider

Cast your vote now! And if you happen to, um, find yourself at a Babies R Us, we're registered under the name Schneider. (Dude, what good is having a blog if we don't shamelessly beg for stuff? And you don't want our baby to go naked, do ya?) And join us on the next edition of Who Wants to Name Our Baby?, the Blogality show.
