I can't take it anymore. We are sharing the name. We've been sharing with all of our friends and coworkers knowing that it would never get back to our family. The doctor has been putting his name on all of our patient paperwork. It almost killed us not to call him by his name when Chad's parents visited. My sister has been guessing some really interesting names (Wilson?) since she found out it was 6 letters. Chad's dad had a premonition that it was some name that started with a "J." It's not. So much for his psychic abilities. So...here it is!
Graham Leachman Haynes. We decided to keep the Leachman tradition going (sorry mom). Chad's middle name is Leachman. It was his mom's maiden name. The Leachmans had all girls so we decided it shouldn't die with Chad. We wear the Leachman wedding rings on our fingers. His Grandma Leachman told us "They work really good," and she was right. So there's a lot of sentiment to the name "Leachman."We could have carried on any of my family names, but there are boys in the family and they will all be safely passed down to the next generations. I like that Graham will be named after his daddy and, hopefully, he'll appreciate the meaning behind his name when he's older.
So now you know. Chad said he didn't mind having his delivery day thunder taken from him. Getting Graham here will be exciting enough that day.
Whew! What a relief!

Yessssssss, now doesn't that feel better?! Oh, man, I am so excited. I love Graham! Graham Leachman Haynes. Is it pronounced leekmen or leechmen?? Either way the entire name is great. I am peeved, though. I have been on a pms graham cracker and peanut butter kick the past few days. I have looked at that box every few hours! I really thought I could guess it. My mind is at ease now, thank you!
heehee!! I just want to see him!
PERFECT! I love the whole name, and Leachman is absolutely the perfect middle name for our little guy....guess I can quit using Elroy now...you held your 'secret' for a long time, good job Holly and Chad.
Cool - now we don't have to hold back on monogramming things - lol.
Oh I am so excited to know Kicker's real name..... and I agree with Rae....I can't wait to see him. Thanks for the sentiment.
