by IDontHaveOne18My husband and I have decided if we have a boy this time that his name will be Peyton. I really want the middle name to be Elijah, but my husband does not like it.....What do yall think??
by ma2Blm2010Elijah is one of the most solid boy names I have ever heard and that is why I fell in love with it! My husband and I find out in January what we are having. If it is a boy, his name will be Elijah Walker. Walker was my husband's father's name and is my husband's middle name. I am so thrilled about this name and our girl name of Elliana Noel. January will be a perfect time to find out!
