I thought I would share the story since it was kinda funny how we chose the name....
After a weekend of arguing over names we decided to put three names in one of Brads hats and use which ever name that got to 3 out of 5 first. We both put our favorite names in and then picked a name that we both like for the third name. We put in Carter, Aiden and Braxton. Everyone who knows me well knows that I am pretty anal about most things and I couldn't stand to not have a name picked out for our baby since we know what we are having....most likely.
We shook the names up every time before we drew a name. I drew 3 times and Brad drew once, every single time we drew it was Aiden. After we drew Aiden 3 times in a row I said ok lets do the best 4 out of 7 and we drew Aiden again on the 4th draw. It was actually pretty funny even though it's not my favorite name I really kinda felt like God was trying to tell me something :). I do like Aiden I just like the others better but it has grown on me and I'm sure it will fit our baby well! Aiden means little fire so that made Brad like it even more.
Ever since I thought about wanting to have my own kids I have always wanted a little girl but through everything we have been through God has definitely shown me a new light and taught me to be thankful for everything even the little things. I am getting more and more excited about having this little boy. I know I will love him to pieces, he is our miracle from God and that I will never take for granted.

Yeah, can't believe the choice!!!! Aiden will go perfectly with his little sisters name...Alexis :) Best Wishes for our Little Aiden.
Yay for Aiden!! :) I personally love that name and I am sure it will fit him WELL! I know you always thought you wanted a girl first-- but wait til you hold that baby boy in your arms and you will never ever be the same. There is just something about a momma's boy. Your mom always told me that and I never knew how true it was until I had my own. Little boys just have a way to their momma's hearts like no other. I always KNEW I wanted a boy and a girl, and now I could have all boys and be happy as a lark! And Allison is right--- Aiden and Alexis go great together!!! :)
Well, after reading both Allison & Emily's comments, I am in tears. There are no words to describe how very deeply you will love and admire your little boy. He will be your world, and you will have to be careful that you don't worship him. I love the choice, Aiden Robert. It is God's given name to our miracle baby!!
Love you,
Mom
I love the name!! It is perfect... And how much fun will it be to have Jaxson and Owen and Aiden running around church in a couple years... I am SO happy for you!!
I can't remember what I guessed, but I'm thinking I guess you'd have a boy. I'm NEVER right!
Congrats on your baby boy!
