The Name Game


We have had endless drama in deciding what to name our little guy. We settle on something, but then decide we don't like it. We feel like it's such an important decision. We have always loved Baylie's name. So after trial, error and deliberation, we have settled on the following:

Jalen W. Batchelor

The 'W' will represent a few different family names.

So you are going to call him Jalen instead of Willie? I always stressed about the name thing--you want it to be perfect.

I love the name Jalen--I think his birth mom did a great job there. Willie is also a great nickname.

Don't stress too much about it--Jalen is great, Willie is great, there ya go! :)

Jalen is a really cute name - and the W can represent Willie. You have to name him what is right for you. He's your son!

I say just call him Baylie, too. I find myself calling my kids by whatever comes out of my mouth.... and they will answer to pretty much anything anyway, so why stress about it? :-) I have a nephew named Jalen and I think it's adorable.

I really admire that you went with the BM wishes and kept his name Jalen. I love the name!

I think that's perfect...He's so cute it doesn't matter what you call him. Like Shakespeare said "What's in a name..." Well OK I guess it kind of matters what you call him! But Jalen is really cute (both the name and the boy himself)!
