Kids Names

I'm not sure if you do this with your kids, but on several occasions I have had discussions with the boys about their future families. We have prayed for future wifes and thought about where they might live right now. We have talked about children and how many there might be. I think it is a good practice for them to be thinking about things like this, espeically when they pray for their future families!

So today, we were talking about kids. After I explained that the boys could not be daddy's until they got married and there was a mommy, they began thinking of names.

Ronnie's list:
1 - Ronald Lee Adkins, IV
2 - Jonathan
3 - Moses
4 - Alicia
5 - Maddie

Nathaniel's List:
1 - Nathaniel Blake Adkins, II (he actually wanted the fifth, but I explained that a son of his had to be the second - not sure that sunk in)
2 - Elisha (not to be confused with his brother Elijah
3 - Ronald (like Ronnie and Dad)
4 - Simon
5 - Maddie

Eli's list:
1 - outside
2 - Nathaniel
3 - Maddie
4 - Paci
5 - water
6 - cars
I think he might be a little young to be thinking about these things, although he loved getting laughs from his brothers. His list continued on and on, but I listed the shortened version.

Thankfully all 3 will have a wife who will hopefully get some say on these matters. I was impressed though that all wanted a Maddie. They love their sister!
