We find out next week if we're having a boy or a girl. I'm really excited but having a hard time with names. My brother in law just passed away in July and I'm actually due a few days after his birthday. His name was Nathan and for a girl, we've decided on the name Natalie. It's a feminine version of Nathan and it means "birth day" so it's pretty perfect.

As for a boy...we're having some issues. We had our sons name picked out FOREVER and I guess we're spent on boy names haha.

We liked Derek at first (after the main character in American History X.) That character reminds us of his brother in SO many ways (jail, skinhead, then reformed into a good guy) but now we don't really LOVE that...

Then I thought when he was going to have a baby with his ex-wife they picked out the name Caleb if it was a boy...the baby never happened though and so I wondered if it would be wrong to take that name... plus my husband wants to spell it with a K because he is Kyle, his mom is Kathy, and our son is Kade and I HATE when people do that.

So, what do you think? Is it appropriate, should I ask my MIL and see if she cares/thinks it's a poor choice?

Thank you.
