Hello Barris,
It's a lot of work, choosing a name for a human being. Luckily one came to us fairly quickly once we found out about you. There was really no discussion of different names. We just knew what we wanted!
In the past we had talked about names. Your dad always liked Dutch, just because he was almost named it. We also talked about Otto and Oliver. However, right after our celebration dinner of finding out about, your dad came up to me with the perfect name.
Barris Russell Hite
Russell - Is after your Great Grandpa Russell.
It's weird to think about it now... because being a "boy-mom" is just who I am.. Even though you haven't made your grand entrance yet. You're a boy and it just works! However, we did have to choose a girl name for you, just in case the sonogram was missing that key piece.
In the past we had discussed Olive but I knew I wanted to name you something a little funky and your dad and I have always loved boy names for girls. So if you had been a girl, your name would've been Milo Corrine Hite.
Corrine after the most incredible person in my life. My grandma. You'll meet and learn more about her... but she has had such an impact on my life. I wouldn't be who I am today without her strong, gentle and kind guidance.
BUT you're a boy! Your name is Barris! Yay! I can't wait to meet you.
I hope you like it.
Love Mom
