Names

Probably the easiest thing in preparing for our son's adoption was choosing his name. For those that don't know, he was named for 3 grandfathers:

  • Zack's Dad, whose middle name is Hoyt
  • My Dad, whose first name is William (goes by his middle name)
  • And Zack's Grandfather, whose name was William Hoyt

Here's a fun quiz that tells what types of names you prefer. My results were not at all surprising. "You are the type most likely to name someone after a family member" - exactly!

Zack's first and middle name are on the "male names you might like"! And, our top boy & girl names were among the choices in the questions I had to answer.


You Like Names That Are Classic and Timeless

You prefer quality names that have stood the test of time.
You don't like anything that's trendy today and outdated next year.

Names are important to you, and naming someone should not be an social experiment.
You are the type most likely to name someone after a family member.

Some female names you might like: Andrea, Elizabeth, Hannah, Julia, Marie, Nicole, and Victoria

Some male names you might like: Aaron, Benjamin, Christopher, Jonathan, Matthew, Thomas, and Zachary

I love the name you chose for William. Our little boy's name was Parker William. So sweet. I always like names that have a reason behind them. I heard you all are at the beach so hope you are having a great time!!!
