Names

Today I'm pondering the idea of names for our future son.  Until we find out who he is and what his name is now, we won't know if we'll want to give him a new name.  Even still, it's fun to wonder.  The more time that passes, the more comfortable we get with the idea that we have another child out there waiting for us to find him.  Odds are that his Ukrainian name will be virtually unpronounceable to most Americans, so it's safe to assume that we'll do as many adoptive parents do and give him another name.  Mike and I agree that we'd like to retain his original name, likely as a middle one.  That leaves the first name to consider.  It's really weird to think about naming a child who is not a newborn.   Will we automatically know the perfect name when we first meet him?  Will we pick something out ahead of time?  Should the girls be involved?  Marisa has already suggested that her little brother be named Buster, but I hesitate to name my child after my parents' dog.  Talk about a straight trip to therapy!
