We hadn't really discussed boy names at all, but I had a list in my head. "What about Rowan?"
James scrunched up his nose.
"Lucas." When he didn't have a reaction, I decided to just start giving him more options. "Noah. Oliver. Elijah. Ryan."
He just stared blankly at me.
"James Junior?"
He laughed. "Absolutely not. Rob Junior is going to be enough juniors."
"Jace?"
"Two J names in the house would be bad. You'd probably yell Jace when you meant to yell James."
I laughed. "I don't make a habit of yelling at you."
"But if you did, it would be a problem."
"How about Liam Hunter?" I held my breath as I waited for his response. Liam was at the very top of my mental list.
"Yeah. Maybe. But it's probably going to be a girl." He leaned forward and put his hand on my stomach. "Isn't that right, Arya?"
I laughed. "We are not naming her after a Game of Thrones character. I've already vetoed that one."
"But you like Game of Thrones too. I don't understand what the big deal is."
"Everyone is going to be naming their little girls Arya. And it doesn't even sound good with Hunter."
"Arya Hunter," he said slowly. "It slides right off the tongue."
"Fine, it sounds okay. I just feel like I picture the character from the show when you say it. I don't want our daughter having an identity crisis."
"That character from the Big Bang Theory has the name Penny. Does seeing that show give you an identity crisis?" He let his hand drop from my stomach.
"No. But I look nothing like her."
James laughed. "So if our daughter comes out with red hair, which she probably will given our last one, we can name her Arya since she'll look different from the character?"
"That's not what I said."
"But we couldn't name her Sansa because they'd both have red hair and it would be super confusing for her growing up."
"I don't know. No one had my name growing up. The Big Bang Theory didn't come out until I was in high school."
"Well, plenty of kids had the name James and I turned out fine. By the way, Liam is on the top of the list for boy's names this year, so doesn't that kind of count that name out?"
"You've been looking at the list of most popular boy's names?"
"I mean...I may have glanced at it."
I smiled and grabbed his hand, pulling it back to my stomach. "I swear to you, this is a little boy."
His eyes twinkled as he spread his fingers out. "You said that last time."
"Everyone likes to rub that in my face. But now I have experience. And I'm telling you James, I feel it. He's stronger and more energetic and he's just...he's a he."
"I'm kind of used to coming home and asking how my girls are doing." He stared at my stomach. "What if it is a boy? What if I mess him up?"
