names, names, names!!!

It has been so stressful trying to find names for my little dude!! I have always been very excited to discuss names ever since i was a little girl, I loved the thought of giving a little baby a cute name!! That is until i got pregnant!! now that it is something that i actually have to do i am very nervous!! What a huge responsibility, giving another human a name!! He will be stuck with it for the rest of his life!! what if he hates it? what if kids tease him? what if people can't pronounce it? what if its hard for him to spell? what if its hard for him to say? these thoughts have been like a train in my mind for the last 5 or 6 months!! not to mention middle names!! I want it to be meaningful and sound good... but what to choose, what to choose? Anytime someone in my family brings it up i just say "i am not going to talk about it right now!!" I want to choose a name so badly, i feel like it will make it more real for me to call him "____" rather than just baby. So i pray every night that Heavenly father will whisper the most perfect name in my ear and i will just know..... Well that wasn't the case! Dallas and I have had names picked out since we were dating, and as soon as i got pregnant they all went out the window!! We had on boy name picked out and i just loved it, but i didn't like the way it sounded with Nelson. any way, it has been stuck in the back of my mind for ever... but i kept refusing to think about it!! well last night i prayed again to know the name of my son... and that night i had a dream and Dallas and i were calling him by this name... so i just can't refuse it any longer. I have decided to name him Kingston! i am so excited about it! it feels like a huge weight has been lifted to finally know his name!!
