"Braby" Parker Scott


It has taken longer than a minute.










  1. So, you probably don't what to name him after a so-so baseball player, but what about the name Bronson? Or Brant? Or Bradford?

    Just some thoughts from a random blog reader :)

  2. hey man...i'm gonna have to go with Meghan on Bresee...what about Bryce? Although I do cast my vote for Bronald.

  3. I actually had a dream last night that you called him Bryce...I dont think I even knew that was one of the main choices until I just read your blog.

  4. We had two children: a girl and a boy. From the delivery table when the boy was born, my wife said, "Oh good, one of each. We can stop now." As much as I loved my two kids, I was ready to move on in other things: career, ministry, grown-up stuff, maybe even eventually grandparenting. Then a third child was announced, and it just meant "not so fast", or something. I knew I'd grow to love him, but it wasn't part of the symphony I had been fantasizing. From the very first, he was joy all over again, and we've been blessed, honored, humbled and powerfully happy. His name is Jeremy David Scott, and I can't imagine life without him, his bride Meghan, or his almost four children.
    love, dad

  5. Marsha - I actually really like Brock, and I like it's biblical connections. But if you say it fast, it sounds just like the president's name. And I voted for him and all, and I pray for him and hope he's the best president ever...but I don't want people to think that I named my kid after him.

  6. It's funny that the annonymous poster above had a kid with the same name as you, with a wife the same name as yours! HA! I'll bet the first two little brats in the family were ticked!!

    Man, I can't believe you're not considering "Breffrey." It's at least as cool sounding as "Bresee," and it's not as close to "brazier."

    How about "Brooks" as in Robinson?

  7. Brax, Bram, Brixly, Brother, Brave, Brinton, Bradford, Bravis, Brick, Bronx, Brincy, Brass, Bruss.....

  8. So, I voted for Bryson, but I have to admit, I like Bryson Scott better than kinda runs together. But, obviously, if you chose Bryson and called him Bryce, it would be perfect! :) Can't wait!!

  9. I picked Bradford in my head as soon as I heard you were having a boy. Brad Scott isn't a bad name. Bram's kinda cool, though; I hadn't thought of that one.

    You could always copy Ashlee Simpson and go with Bronx - then you'd also have two Borough's covered, which, to be honest, is all New York can expect from one family.

  10. Jeremy, Julia Roberts named her boy/girl twins "Phineas and Hazel." I even think she calls the boy Phin. She named them after much older relatives to honor them.

    Oh, well, it will be interesting to see who this little Scott Boy turns out to be. My friend had her 8th this year, and the naming of each child has been a great blessing.


  11. Hmm... Brock, Barach. You make a good point there. This is why those who don't have to live with the results probably shouldn't make the big decision. :-)

    By the way, my favorite baby name lately won't work for you, but it's too good to not share -- Summer Raine, born in June 2008. Her five-year-old brother came up with the "Summer" part and her parents added the "Raine".

  12. Brock, Barach, Barack, whatever. Can you tell I'm not exactly a news junkie?

    Since I have already demonstrated a small piece of my great ignorance, I may as well unveil some more. How have I overlooked the biblical character named Brock? What exactly is the biblical connection to which you referred?

  13. Bradley.

    Or Bryce, Brody, Bryan.

    ; )
