Ben and Michal are expecting a boy this month (although Elisabeth insists that only Crum girls may arrive in September). I would like to go on record with my guesses as to his name--and the reasons for my guesses. I invite others to post their guesses, too. I will personally award a prize to anyone whose guess is right-on (barring Ben and Michal, of course).
Mom's 1st Guess: Noah or Job
This guess comes from my reading in Ezekiel 14. Three righteous men are mentioned by name--Noah, Daniel, and Job. Since Daniel has already arrived, I'm guessing Noah is next in line.
Mom's 2nd Guess: Bjorn
I had a dream about the new baby, and his name was Bjorn in my dream. No, he wasn't a skin-changing bear. I will be content if this is his middle name, but I may call him Bjorn, no matter what his given name is.

Is Mom cheating at her own game? You can't have 2 guesses under the heading of "1st Guess". I like Bjorn because of the Abbot and Costello implications; "Was he just born?" "He's always just Bjorn!" "Was he just born yesterday?"... you can see the potential. Good call Mom.
Since I made the rules, I get two guesses. (Notice how I got three in two?). Everyone else can have two guesses, too.
Mom, I don't want to say to much here, but you should know that merchandise related names kinda scare off us hippie types... baby bjorn? I don't know about that...
I didn't know there was merchandise called "bjorn"--what do they sell?
the link above takes you to their site... it's a baby carrier brand (really popular).
This is my guess...
First name - Timothy: keeping it biblical and named after Michal's father.
Middle name - Tolkien: keeping with the LOTR trend.
What do we call him?
Timmy Tolkien Twum!! Right Bob? Right!!
Maybe this Lord of the Rings Name Generator will help?

Syngwen 'Proudfoot' Norther of Buckland (aka Aunt Marty)
Stephen P.B Crum
I got two guesses for you my first guess is Michael after his mother and my second is Stephen Michael Francis Murphey Philip Bensen Crum the 2nd
I'm making another suggestion/ guess (since it's my game, I get to do that)--with a LOTR and family connection, plus the Scandinavian tone I'm hoping for;
Thengle. That was my grandfather's name.
I think his name should be Daniel Peregrine Crum, Jr. If it worked so well for your first child, stands to reason it'd be great for the next one, too.
And that would just one more way you could make yourself more like George Foreman.
I win!
The prize is a trip to Indiana for me and two friends, plus lessons in painting with oil pastels from Nate.
