The Name agreement

This baby boy officially has a name, but not without some serious legal advise and official documentation. His name is Max Jensen Dockter but only under the agreement that our next boy's name (if there is one) will be chosen by yours truly. You see, I really like the name Max just like I really liked Sam when we named him. However during both of these events there was a name that I also liked a lot. So, the agreement is that I concede my current holdout on naming Max and if we ever have another boy, that boy will carry this other name. All who read this statement stand as witnesses that this agreement took place. In a couple years I may be searching out your testimony.


Max and Lindsay are both doing really well!! Sam is loving his little brother a lot. Everytime he comes to the hospital the first thing he says is, "Where is the baby?" He loves to hold him and give him little kisses. When he left for home tonight, he gave baby Max a kiss and said, "I love you baby Max." So far the adjustment has gone well...everyone hold your breath!!

Congrats! We are so happy for you. Eric, you should have done what Dan did to me...talked me into the name when I was drugged out right after I had Kylie...still love him, but still working to get her name changed.

You guys are so wonderful and you will love having two...give it about 4 months and you'll get it all down.

Love you guys and hope to see you soon.

Congrats on picking a name! Kaitlyn was happy that you two picked Max. She really liked it- maybe because she already can spell it?!?

Is this going to start the trend with 3-letter names? :)
He already looks like a Max too.

Dear Lindsay, Eric, Sam and Max. I love the new name and the new baby boy. Your Grandpa Leon would be very pleased with your choice of names; to use the Jensen is touching and Max was a favorite cousin of Leon's. Max Jensen Dockter. Sounds wonderful. I love you all. Grandma VERDA

Sam's behavior just goes to show what sweet parents he has. Seriously, Eric and Lindsay, you are both the nicest people I have ever met! I like the name Max. I hope the name you are holding in reserve is Luke so all our animals names may be represented in your family. If you name one Luke, we will promise to name our next boy Eric. Sounds fair to me. Oh, Lindsay, when can I come and hold baby Max again?
