Possible Name Change

Little Landon has had his name for a week now. From Monday to Thursday I would look at him and almost call him something else. Landon wasn't rolling off my tongue. Then Brad confessed when his co-workers asked him the name he couldn't remember it for a few minutes. There we were late Wednesday night questioning whether or not we named him right? Is he really a Landon?

Low and behold, I finally figured out why "Landon" is not "landing" for us! It's because we've received some not so positive feedback concerning his name. However, after Brad and I talked some more we decided we need to shut out the noise and fully commit to the name we gave him. It wasn't easy for us to come up with Landon. However, with meaning we came to the conclusion to name him Landon. Sorry if others think it's weird or not good enough. Or should I say "Sorry, Not Sorry"?...like the song by Demi Lovato! As I said before, I was absolutely floored when Brad came home 2 weeks ago then swiftly handed me a carrier with this little sugar baby in it. He basically with great surprise "landed" into my arms. 

Not that I feel I have to defend my/our name choices over the many years but I will say this...I like slightly different names. I'm not adventurous enough to use some names but I do not like super common names. I like names that are familiar sounding yet a little unique. Hence the names: Cody, Simon, Piper, and now Landon! None are unheard of but none are as common as Jack or Joey or Emily. As for Brad...he gravitates towards names that originate from England. He loves anything and everything English/British. Plus his ancestry is from England. Hence, Piper and Landon the two we've named together are names straight out of London! Landon--London, nope no similarities at all! ;)

I also believe Piper and Landon sound like a good fur-baby sibset. I think for me it's a natural progression when considering Cody and Simon's names. Cody, Simon, and now Landon. There's a few letters and sounds in common between all 3 of those names. And without a doubt a similar feel between Simon and Landon. So there you have it...the name is staying....Landon Leo Vaughn!
