How My Husband and I Decided on My Son's Name

When my Husband and I first found out we were pregnant we knew that picking out a name would be very difficult. Michael, my Husband is the 8^th child out of 10 kids. Alone he has over 30 nieces and nephews and this amount does not include the great nieces and nephews.

After factoring in my Family about 100 names were gone. We did not want to name our child after another Family member and we had a lot of work to do. Settling on Bubba was not going to work, so the research needed to start.

My Family is 100 percent half German and half Russian, but my Father insisted on an Irish name . My Husband just wanted a decent name that was not taken. We both picked our favorites and compared notes, but we disagreed on everything. We kind of just gave up after a while hoping to figure it out after we had the baby. Almost 5 months had passed before we even talked about this anymore.

I was almost 9 months pregnant and had a dream about Brandon. The dream was about my unborn son and that his name was Brandon. I woke the next morning and discussed this with my Husband and that is how we picked the name of our first born. We are very happy with that name and it fits him perfectly.
