Boy Names

For those of you who have been reading this blog since the beginning (or at least since we've made it public), Em & I had an agreement on the naming of the boy.  The short story is that if it is a boy, I get to select the name (with certain agreed upon provisions). 

I told myself (and no one else) that whoever became the 1st Browns free agent signing, that is who I'd name the boy after.  It could have gone a number of ways.  There were rumors of them resigning Peyton Hillis and there have been talks of the Browns going after Matt Flynn as a free agent.  Peyton or Matt wouldn't be the worst names in the world, I figured. 

But last week, the Browns signed their 1st free agent, and Emily (without knowledge of my agreement with myself) found out about it before I did.  (Which is a small miracle in and of itself.....given my astute attention to these sorts of things.)  I thought that was a terrific "sign" that this MUST be the correct name to name our boy. 

Does anyone know off hand who that free agent signing was?  It was a pretty big signing.  He was the starting middle linebacker for the Browns last year and he signed a new 5 year, $42 million contract. 


D'Qwell Rosenvold.  It has a nice ring to it, don't you think?

  2. I was told that agreement had be voided:) On the other hand, if he comes out with your skintone...the name may be fitting;)

  3. The agreement had been ammended, but the bones of the agreement stayed in tact. (i.e. I name the boy)
