Hi all!

I'm due Feb. 13th - my fiancee and I have been thinking of names now that we know we're expecting a little boy. :)

Thus far, we've been really set on the name Drake. We both like the meaning behind it (dragon, and namesake of Sir Francis Drake, who discovered the islands I grew up in, in the VI - we've also read that it means "male duck" lol).

So... what do you think of the name Drake?

Any recs for middle names? (Last name Reardon, so we're thinking a 3-syllable name might be the best - lol wow, so much analytical-ness goes into this. lol)

Thanks in advance - glad to be here!

i like it! but my first thought is 'dr. drake ramora,' a.k.a. the soap opera character joey played on friends.

god, it is embarrassing that that was my first thought.

but i think the name Drake is completely adorable. it sounds nimble and grinning and flashy and cute. i'd date a Drake. ^_^

Thanks! :) I've been getting the soap opera reference a lot, too. lol

Your icon is awesome, btw. :)

it could be worse, he could be named specifically and deliberately after a REAL soap opera character.

like my boyfriend, blake. was named after 'dr. blake carrington' on general hospital.

yeah, it's a pretty amazing icon. i wish i could take credit. :D
