Since beginning his tenure as Georgia State University's seventh president in January 2009, President Mark P. Becker has provided a vision for the future of Georgia State and led the institution into a period of marked growth and advancement. Reflecting his vision of the urban public research university for the 21st century, the university adopted a dynamic 10-year strategic plan that has Georgia State well on its way to becoming one of the nation's premier urban research universities.
As a first generation college student who began his educational career at a community college, Becker is personally and professionally committed to ensuring that students of all economic backgrounds succeed and are given opportunities to compete on a level playing field. Under his leadership, Georgia State's graduation rate has already increased by 10 percent, and the university is becoming a national model for undergraduate education. It leads the nation in eliminating disparities in graduation rates based on race or ethnicity, and, as one of the most diverse universities in America, is first in the nation among non-profit institutions in graduating African-American students and is among national leaders in graduating Hispanic and Asian-American students. Becker has aggressively promoted the achievements of the university, making it more visible locally and nationally, and demonstrating the value of a Georgia State degree. Under his leadership, the university has set a series of records for enrollment, graduation rates and total graduates.
Becker's passion for student success has been matched by his commitment to increasing multidisciplinary research and economic development as facilitated by the creation of new research centers, the Second Century Initiative—an ambitious program to hire 100 new faculty members to serve in interdisciplinary research clusters, and an enhanced emphasis on the translation of faculty research into products and companies. This commitment has brought the university to new heights of research accomplishment, as reflected, for example, in new university records for sponsored research funding and federal research funding. Becker has advanced the campus' physical development and made Georgia State a major contributor to the revitalization of downtown Atlanta. Georgia State has made major additions to campus housing and dining, research and academic facilities, and intramural and athletics facilities.

Well it came out nice, looks like you put more effort into it then that.The wood was simple; spray on stripper, clean it up with some steal wool, left all the nicks and dings in it, spray on lacquer, done.
I guess I over simplified the spray on lacquer process. It was 6-7 very thin coats over a two day period. Spray, let it dry and stray again. I was trying to go for the thick shellac look that was originally on it. Oh, to AKarl 12, this is my first build, and yes I'm hooked. Besides, what am I going to do with all the friggin jigs, tools, and whatnot that I've made to put this thing together.
If a man speaks in the forest and no woman is there to hear him, is he still wrong??
That's the best reason to build more, don't want those tools to go to wasteBesides, what am I going to do with all the friggin jigs, tools, and whatnot that I've made to put this thing together.

Settings Changed On my MBP...
Alright so its a mid 2010.
I sat down in front of it like I do every day..and everything is different??
When I select a folder in finder, Anything and everything above it is selected to, same when I select something in text. And my double click isn't working, I can only open files from the right click. You're probably thinking, well check the settings! it must be there?! Welp, I did that and my settings are the same as when I left it, but its still not working right?!
Even when minimizing windows into the dash, they move really slow! just like when you click shift, except I don't have to click it and it does it,...ALL THE TIME. I can't figure out how to change it all back.
And when I want to open up the Force Quit window, it just automatically closes what I have open..
It wont let me copy past either...Help :(
If anyone can help me out, or anything would be greatly appreciated..
Folks here that can help you the most will ask you for the specs of your Mac...model, year, RAM, hdd size, OS version, etc. That information will enable them to help you faster and easier.
For now, I recommmend downloading the correct version of Onyx (software) designated for your Mac's OS and run it in Automation mode (Automation tab). It will fix permissions and take care of internet caches and cookies and such.
p.s. Do you have a cat?
Macbook Pro 13-inch Mid 2010.
8GBs ram, (Originally 4GBs) 750GB hdd, (250 original)
and Mountain Lion.
Nop no cats >.<
I feel kinda stupid for not doing this before,....But I hit the ol' restart and now everything is working again..hah thanks anyways man :)
I can't figure out whats going on :/
Light...go here http://http://www.titanium.free.fr/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=399 and download and install the version of Onyx for Lion. It will repair your permissions and delete old internet garbage and do many other wonderful things. It will check the S.M.A.R.T staus of your computer, remind you to make a back up (which hopefully you already have...if not, ignore for now). It will request your admin password. Type it in and run Automation...you will see it. Restart and let us know how things are.

Relationships of smiling and flirtation to aggression and 2D:4D, a prenatal androgen indexEvolutionary Psychology 9(1): 28-37
Smiling has been reported to be a signal of submission/lower status, or a sign of cooperation. In the present study, use of smiling and flirtation to "make people receptive to my ideas" was conceptualized as mild aggression, since it is mildly manipulative of the perception of others as to one's internal emotional status. For 91 participants (55 female, 36 male), use of smiling and flirtation to make others receptive to one's ideas were associated with relational aggression and a more male-typical (smaller) right 2D:4D finger length ratio. The only significant relationship in the male sample alone was the relationship between smiling and relational aggression. In the female sample alone, use of smiling and flirtation to "make people receptive to my ideas" was associated with a more male-typical 2D:4D finger length ratio pattern, and there was a trend for flirtation to be associated with greater physical aggression. Both 2D:4D and physical aggression have been associated with higher prenatal androgen level. It is concluded that deliberate smiling and flirtation are mild forms of relational aggression, and are related to prenatal androgenic activity in a manner similar to physical aggression. These findings are discussed in terms of the different evolutionary strategies of men and women to control their social environments.

Report: Mel Gibson Mounts Comeback in 'Hangover 2'
Mel Gibson has been in Hollywood jail ever since the disastrous fallout from his relationship with ex-girlfriend Oksana Grigorieva went public, and now he's planning his great escape, starting with a cameo in 'The Hangover 2,' according to New York Post's Page Six. He'll reportedly be playing a tattoo artist.
"It's a done deal," a source told Page Six. "Filming is taking place on the Warner Bros. lot, where a Bangkok set has been built and Mel is expected to film his role in two weeks. Then the production moves to Thailand at the end of October."
The 'Hangover' sequel catalogs yet another disastrous vacation for Bradley Cooper, Ed Helms and Zach Galifianakis, which this time takes the boys to Thailand.
Fortunately for Gibson, he has some experience playing roles as weird body artists. Back in 1997, he played "Scott the Body Piercer" in a short scene in 'Father's Day.'
Also, the guys from 'The Hangover' are starting to make a habit out of rehabbing controversial celebrities with key cameo roles, as they did for Mike Tyson in the original movie while he was recovering from his "drug abuser" image. Similarly, Tom Cruise pumped some new life into his career when he played Les Grossman in 'Tropic Thunder.'
Neither Gibson or Warner Bros. have commented on the report.

Mel's a great talent who married a gold digger.
- Tuesday 19 OctoberBy Mike
A "great" talent who couldn't keep his pants up and who is suffering from a bad mid-life crisis! Amazing how people like Mel and Charlie Sheen can get away with murder and still get/keep a job. Had Mel been faithful to his wife, he wouldn't be in this mess.
- Monday 18 OctoberBy SueLow Ranked Vote downVote upReport this
Gibson has been married once and I've never heard anything bad about her. His girlfriend is who you maybe referring to. Gibson is the lunatic and why do people always call the woman involved a gold digger? He dated her, lived with her and had a child with her. I have a name for him *astard!
- Monday 18 OctoberBy Nico Toscani
She IS a gold digger, just like he IS a racist, abusive, jerk. A match made in heaven.
- Monday 18 OctoberBy Bella Mia
Mel's one and only wife Robyn is NOT a gold digger. The plastic baby mamma Oksana is though. Please don't mistake an upstanding honorable mother of 7 legitimate children for the manipulative husband stealing adulterous.
- Monday 18 OctoberBy Joe
Mel didn't mind having her as his girlfriend for what, three years? He didn't mind having a baby with her either. And judging by his track record, he is prone to rages. Hollywood may have a lot of money invested in trying to revive his career, but I wouldn't pay money to see any movie of his. And I hope the girlfriend has a happy life with the baby and without him.

Considering that Mel Gibson is supposed to be anti-semetic, it is no wonder that the media is after him .Well, that is one movie I definitely won't be watching.Mel would rather pay attorneys than take care of his child.My boyfriend and i both think so ...He is almost 11year older than me .i met him via kissmilita ry.c 'oma nice place for s'ee'king Army, Navy, Mari'nes, Air Force, Police Force and their admires.just love it

Oh, the Jew-hater? Almost forgot about that guy.
- Monday 18 OctoberBy D
Mel has a serious alcohol problem. When that is gone, all of the other characteristics seem to disappear. Danny Glover said on E, or Entertainment tonight, something like that. Jackie Mason said after the "traffic-Jew-stop" a few years ago, that he knew Mel, he was or is not racist, but has a drinking problem. His first wife said in various things after these tapes broke, that the only problems they ever had were because of alcohol. It's not a "drunken actions are sober thoughts deal for him," he would start doing and saying things he didn't do or say sober after just one or two, but after one or two, he'd have to have twenty drinks. He needs to go back to rehab. A real intense rehab, and STOP drinking. It just causes more problems.

Mr Gibson is a very talented man I've always enjoyed watching.
What has happened to him will only make him stronger and will show in his future work.
ps. to someone that mentioned 'wife'. He has had only 1 wife in 28 years. The Mother of his children and a very respected woman.
There was that 'other' person but they were not married and she did have a child. Her 2nd, both children with different fathers and both out of wedlock.
- Monday 18 OctoberBy Barbara
Right! Do you have any idea how many men and women are parents of children out of wedlock? If you are married you will probably find you have a little secret somewhere. Just do some checking. LOL

Electropalatography (EPG) measures tongue contact with the hard-palate during speech and provides both qualitative and quantitative data on the place of articulation.
How does it work?
EPG determines tongue-palate contact by using a special artificial palate that contains a number of electrodes embedded on its tongue-facing surface. A small electrical signal is fed to the patient, which is conducted through the tongue to any touched electrodes. These tongue-palate contact patterns are then displayed on the computer screen.
icSpeech supports multi-channel EPG and is compatible with the Linguagraph system. The palate is custom-made by a dental technician and simply clips to the upper teeth.
Palatograph Display
The real-time palatograph display is a useful biofeedback tool that allows the patient to visualise tongue movement during speech. Segments are arranged in palatal zones and rows to depict the individual EPG contacts.
This example illustrates the palatograph for the /s/ sound. The individual segments have been colour coded to highlight the following palatal zones:
Waveform Display
The Waveform display is often used in therapy because it allows the patient to see the dynamics of their speech during the utterance of complete words or phrases.
This example shows the Alveolar (blue), Palatal (green) and Velar (red) tongue-palate contact waveforms for the word "Missing".
With Linguagraph, up to nine waveforms can be displayed:

My Top Ten Favorite Baby Boy Names
First, excuse me while I crumble over this photo of my older boy, who is about to turn ten, and who was the happiest, roundest, smiliest baby in the universe. I'm dying inside.
Here are my ten favorite baby boy names! They're in no particular order, but I did save my current favorite for the end. As you will see, my preferred boy name would be a cross between Italian-Biblical, with a little Western Movie thrown in.
(Note here's my girl name list if you missed it: My Top Ten Favorite Baby Girl Names)
I'm just going to start this off with a bang. I'm sorry to everyone who hated either Gone With the Wind or Ashley Wilkes' character, or who dislike female names for boys. I love the name Ashley for a boy. Always have. And I'd probably call him Ash.
Possibly my favorite biblical name for a boy. It conveys a sense of solid goodness, and the shortened name "Ben" is a name I've always associated with inner strength and good looks. I'm weird.
I wouldn't shorten it to "Sonny." It'd be all Santino, all the time. Santino Drummond. It speaks to me.
I can't explain my lifelong love of this name. I knew a Preston when I was a little girl. He was a few years older than me, played tennis, and was tan. I don't know if that played a role. But I've loved the name forever, and I love the shortened version, pronouned "Press." There's something romantic about it.
I changed my mind. Samuel is my favorite biblical name. My grandpa's nickname was Sam, the title of my favorite children's book was Sam. There are just too many positive associations in my mind and heart to deny it: Sam or Samuel (I love either version equally) is way up there for me.
One of my best friends in college, Nicole, was from a beautiful Italian family and had a brother named Nino. I thought this was just about the best name I'd ever heard, and I decided the day I met him that my firstborn son would be called Nino. Then I married a cattle rancher who wanted to name his firstborn son Bull. We met in the middle somewhere. But I shan't be satisfied until I have a son named Nino. And may his first child be a masculine child…
My dad's name. My baby's middle name. It's strong, reliable, and good. And I wouldn't shorten it to Will, though I do (separately) love the name Will. I just think William stands on its own.
This is a huge name in Marlboro Man's family, going back many generations. We shortened it for our daughter, made it our first son's middle name, and I love the name more now than ever, whether for a boy or a girl. The name Alexander means "Protector of mankind," which gives me chills.
This is one of the few names I prefer in the shortened form: Joe. To the point. Simple. Confident. Classic.
Sigh. Beau. My favorite name. So Western Movie. So swoon-worthy. So romantic. I want one of my daughters to marry a man named Beau. But only if they're over thirty. And only if he's nice. And only if he likes Broadway show tunes. Is that too much to ask?
Honorable Mentions
Dante (Clearly I have a profound Italian hangup)
Smith (So unabashedly a last name, I love it as a first)
Oliver (Remember the little blond cousin in The Brady Bunch?)
I'll stop now.
Share your favorite boy names! I loved reading your girl versions.

My husband is a Deputy Sheriff and loves old western movies, so after having two daughters and finding out we were having a son, he really wanted to name him Wyatt (after Wyatt Earp). Well, I wasn't too fond of the name, so I suggested Garrett and told him it could be after Pat Garrett (the famous western Sheriff)… he agreed! I love the name and couldn't imagine my little "Gare- Bear" with any other name

My son's name is Rylan, which I love but I wanted to name him Reed or Boyd. Boyd just seems so manly but yet simple.

I have a Clark. Yes, after Mr Gable. Was going to add Kent after my husbands best friend but thought that might be cheesy. So we used Gray which is a family name.

I'm all about classic boy names…they need to sound good when they become president. : ) My boys are: Thomas Daniel (and he's Thomas, not Tommy. Occasionally Tom ) and Patrick Faulkner (ALWAYS Patrick. Never, ever Pat…shudder). My daughter (as long as we're chatting), is: Phoebe Jane (selected years before "Friends", so don't even THINK it!)
Mumsy On Thursday, August 23 at 11:12 am
Although this warning is way to late: Never, ever give your child a name if you hate the nickname that goes with it! I was so careful about this, and i don't hate the nickname Ty that goes with Tyler, but it annoyed the heck out of my husband and me that his mother kept trying to get our son to go by the nickname. To make matters worse she didn't like our second son's name so decided to just call him by my husbands first name, not even his own middle name, Patrick. Which was better than her own mother, who was opposed to the very Irish name we gave our son, do to ethnic hatred, and so she called him," Scott's second son." She never did forgive her daughter for marrying a "drunken Irishman."

My oldest son is Benjamin Alexander. Both names go back generations. Benjamin is named for "Grandsire Benjamin" who settled the small town we live in. Grandsire is buried in the family cemetery on our property. Alexander is for my maternal great-grandfather & has been used every generation since then.
Darla On Thursday, August 23 at 10:23 am
Family names rule! We used family names from both sides of the house for our son, born in 2009: Brooks Bradley. I had some good alternates: Garrett, Will, Clay…but my husband said they didn't mean anything in the family. Names should have meaning to the family, right? If he'd been a girl, we were going with Arabella, a combination of two family names. The middle name — according to my husband only — would have been Deladis, the character in "Songcatcher," who was adopted by the city girl and country boy similar to our own situation. That's funny, since my city has a population of about 15,000 people, but to the country boy who grew up on the farm, that's a city!

My dad's name is Beau and my brother's name is Joseph! Shortening names is a no-no in my family and my brother was almost Adam Joseph for just that reason. Unfortunately, my mom realized at some point during her pregnancy that if she named my brother Adam, she'd have given birth to Adam and Eve. (They went as Adam and Eve for their first Halloween together. PRECIOUS BABIES!) — As for my (current) favorite baby boy names: Cosmas. I AM SO IN LOVE WITH THAT NAME. I also love Jude, Alexander, and Cyprian. Then there's Lawrence and Ignatius. I really love Marcellinus but would probably use it only for a middle name.
Lindsey On Thursday, August 23 at 10:24 am
Jace… just sounds so cowboyish. It is my oldest boys name and I still love it so much!
Tuesdey On Thursday, August 23 at 10:24 am
I love the names, Bowen, Connor, and John. My fiancé is the 8th John in a row!
Jessica On Thursday, August 23 at 10:24 am
Cole is a favorite of mine. My oldest son had to have the family middle name of Lewis and I didn't like the flow of Cole Lewis so we named him Colby with the intention of calling him Cole. He goes by Colby more than Cole. Then our youngest we named Isaiah Reid, I never had plans to shorten his name but we call him Zaiah all the time!
Lori @ The Davidson Den On Thursday, August 23 at 10:24 am
We named our fourth child Atticus Joseph. "Atticus" means fatherly, by the way. Awwww… Our Atticus is fast approaching the ripe old age of four and has the biggest personality in the free world, enunciates words with utmost precision, and is currently obsessed with transformers and maps (of all things). If you want to see pictures of Atticus, he's plastered all over my blog: davidsonden.blogspot.com
I happen to like his big brothers' names, too: Noah Paul and Gabriel Isaiah.
Jeanine On Thursday, August 23 at 10:24 am
My favorite boy names are, David, Ryan, Jakob (Jake), Emory, Jared, Joseph, Mitchell, Daniel, Norman, Charles.
Karen On Thursday, August 23 at 10:24 am
I was once very biblical and loved Matthew – I'd call him Matty, I thought. But now, I love the name Jack – such a strong, sturdy name and Henry – my pop pop's name – a gentle name for a strong man. My first grandchild is Samuel – Sam – just love that name too. My fourth grandchild is to be named Liam, which is William in Irish, which is where my husband was born and raised.
Alice On Thursday, August 23 at 10:24 am
I have a Stan Oliver (not Stanley, just Stan) and a Henry Holden (we call him Hank). So we have Stan the Man and Hank the Tank and they completely live up to their names.
Ara On Thursday, August 23 at 10:24 am
I love your list…some of my favs are there (William, Beau and Joseph) but I'm currently in LOVE with the name Finn, Peter and Luca. Praying daily for one more baby and hoping it's a boy to go with my sweet Evalyn. Thanks for a fun blog post!
Joni On Thursday, August 23 at 10:24 am
Each are members in my family and they each have made their names favorites to me. Wonderful men and great names.
Malia On Thursday, August 23 at 10:25 am
There arent a lot of boy names that I like. Our top choice would be Alex Lloyd (our grandfathers names). I also like Julian, another family name, but my husband isn't really into it.
Patti On Thursday, August 23 at 10:25 am
Sergio. I have two boys and I didn't name either one Sergio, but it's always been my favorite. And for girls, I love Renee. I used to fantasize that my name was Renee and I was elegant and fancy and everyone envied me. LOL!
Terri On Thursday, August 23 at 10:25 am
Logan and Lucas
cas On Thursday, August 23 at 10:25 am
My late father's name was John but everyone called him Jack. My best friend's father was also a John and they called HIM Jack too. Must've been popular nickname back in 1925.
My son is Jeremy David…Jeremy because it was the only name we both liked, and David after my husband.
My grandson is Patrick and he has no nickname. He's Patrick to everyone!
Diane On Thursday, August 23 at 10:25 am
Michelle On Thursday, August 23 at 10:25 am
My boys are Patrick and Connor – all Irish, all the time! But I have to add, I hate when people call my eldest son "Pat". That was never on our radar as a nickname. I call him "Patch" – remember the movie Patch Adams? I loved it!
I also like Brody, Daniel, and Seth.
Eva On Thursday, August 23 at 10:25 am
My son's name is Justin, and I have always loved that name! If I would have had another son, he would either be named Noah or Tristan…
Brittny On Thursday, August 23 at 10:26 am
We had the hardest time naming our oldest. My husband was about to head off with the Air Force and I was big ol' preggers and I couldn't bear not having a name for the baby when he left. So the night before he was to leave we sat down, me with the baby name book on my belly and we went through the whole thing with different colored pens circling the ones we liked the most. We had three lists, one he liked, one I liked and one that we had both picked. He really really liked the name Jonathan, and I DID NOT want that as a first name. I wanted something unique. I had liked the name Tristan (think that old role by Brad Pitt and the story Tristan and Isolde and you know what I mean) I got sooooo shut down by anyone I knew I had vowed not to tell another soul what I was naming him until he was born…So on we went and I ended up in the biblical section of the book after trying the lists didn't work and was looking at the name Cain, now I had liked Kaden but the hubbs wasn't having it, so I kept going and an saw Canaan with Cainan as the variation. So, I changed the C to a K and now we have our Kainan Jonathan. So having settled on the name the hubbs goes off and barely gets back in time for the birth, my mother (the biggest Tristan naysaywer) was in the room and the baby was just one push from being born and she finally asks his name. I tell her (while gritting my teeth I might add) "Kainan Jonathan" and she just started bawling saying how much she loved it! :o) He's as strong as Jonathan portrays and as unique as a Kainan can be! Not to mention the great song lyric "to Cainan's Land I'm on my way, where the soul (of man) never dies: :o)
Mrs. Shaw On Thursday, August 23 at 10:26 am
I agree with your comments about Benjamin. But, then again, I'm married to one.
I also have a nephew named Beau, but spelled Bowe.
Charlotte In OK On Thursday, August 23 at 10:26 am
#1 Thomas
#2 James
#3 Philip
#4 John
What to name # 5? (We are assuming it's a boy until we find out otherwise.)
Travis Cotton On Thursday, August 23 at 10:26 am
My first sons's name is Alexander Michael and the other one is Nathaniel Christopher. I win!
Angela On Thursday, August 23 at 10:26 am
Victor… It is a strong name!!
Sandy M On Thursday, August 23 at 10:26 am
I named my son Jamin (the end part of Benjamin) and it is pronounced Jay-min. It is funny when he flies somewhere – he is always checked even though we have a scotch-irish last name! Jamin means "right hand of God". Love your show and she does he!
Rhea On Thursday, August 23 at 10:26 am
My younger son's name is Remy. Short for Remington.
Kim On Thursday, August 23 at 10:26 am
Since my husband and I have been trying to conceive for over 2 years, I have already decided that if God blesses us with a son, we will name him Samuel. It means 'God heard'…all my prayers to have a baby.
corinne On Thursday, August 23 at 10:26 am
My husbands name is Benjamin, mine is Corinne our oldest son is Riley Edward and our 2nd is Elijah Benjamin. If we are blessed with a third boy it will be Abram Asher
Migs On Thursday, August 23 at 10:26 am
I like Miguel. Very manly.
Jessica On Thursday, August 23 at 10:27 am
We have a nephew named Everett. LOVE that name So strong and old fashioned. My grandfather was Rex and I would love to use it if we have a son! We also like Waylon and Lincoln.
Mary L On Thursday, August 23 at 10:27 am
All my life I wanted to have a son and name him Adam. I love that name. I've never known an Adam — well Adam West aka Batman. Unfortunately, we have never been blessed with children. So I'll just keep that name roaming around in my head forever.
Teresa On Thursday, August 23 at 10:27 am
Truett, I love that name for a boy, but I'm done having kids so……maybe a grandson??
Kelsey On Thursday, August 23 at 10:27 am
We're naming our son, Weyland. It's a family name on my husband's side. I love that it's unique and strong without being weird. It's also english and makes me think of an east coast boarding school boy.
suzanne On Thursday, August 23 at 10:27 am
My sons name is moses i love it!
JessicaD On Thursday, August 23 at 10:27 am
George and Gilead are my boys.
I should quit now.
Val On Thursday, August 23 at 10:27 am
I love the names Christopher, Nicholas, Michael, Ethan, Samuel, Joseph, Joshua, Caleb, Benjamin, Jackson. Those first three names are the names of my sons, and Ethan will be my very first grandchild due any minute, if the baby is a boy!
Whitney On Thursday, August 23 at 10:27 am
My sons are Griffin and Dayne. Both family names.
Shauna On Thursday, August 23 at 10:27 am
My grandfather is Swiss-Italian and the names in his family are over the top! His father was Guido Martine, his grandfather was Battista. Battista's father was named Defendente. Defendente was married to Clara Teodora Eugenia. There are Aquilliono, Ettore and Angiolino's back there as well. The women's names are pretty amazing too, Martita, Marta, Felicita, Allesandria, etc.
Anyhow, sorry to ramble on about the Italian names!
Jayne On Thursday, August 23 at 10:27 am
I was so glad to see the name William. My oldest is William. We do call him Will. The only time in school that he went by William was when he was in class with another Will. The teacher started off calling them Will M. and Will E. (my son) but it sounded like Willie and he hated that so he ask to go by William. It means "will (or desire) for protection" Sounds so strong to me.
My second favorite name is Dillon. My youngest son's name. It means faithful. Describes my son very well. I also can't help but think of the western character Matt Dillon. haha.
So now I have a Will and a Dill. Good thing I didn't name my daughter Jill.
Michelle On Thursday, August 23 at 10:27 am
Our sons name is Oliver and he is actually a blond haired, energetic little guy. If baby #3 (due in February) is a boy his name will be Alexander. I also love the name Miles but our daughter & son names both begin w vowels so we're sticking w it for baby #3!
Betsy K On Thursday, August 23 at 10:27 am
We have two boys, Henry Phillip and Thomas Michael–all four names are family names. My sister used William, which I also love. And call them Henry and Thomas–not Hank or Tom (or Tom Hanks) or Tommy. We wanted names that were serious grown-up men names, and not trendy or overused. I still love these names and I love Henry (18) and Thomas (15), who are not yet serious grown-up men, but will never be serious all the time–it's a genetic thing.
Hannah On Thursday, August 23 at 10:27 am
I have an Alexander. We call him Xander. He lives life with his caps lock on, like this: "I'M XANDER! I LOVE THOR! I LOVE BANANA BREAD! I'M TIRED! I DISAGREE WITH YOUR OPINION THAT IT IS BED TIME!" Like that. He is the 8th generation of Alexander Mackie and ironically comes from a long line of protectors of mankind (read: police officers). My husband's family is super-duper Scottish, so his middle name is Lachlan, which means "from the waters". And Mackie means "with a strong arm", which is a nice way of saying "stubborn as all get-out". He's so much fun it's ridiculous.
Connie On Thursday, August 23 at 10:27 am
Cole (Cole Porter fan my whole life)
Edward (my father's name and he was always Big Ed because of being so tall. I had dreams of a little Ed to go with Big Ed)
Preston is one I like as well. (Music Man fan, love robert Preston)
Gabriel (Gabe is cool for short too)
Allison H. On Thursday, August 23 at 10:28 am
I am named after my great-great grandfather who's name was Allison. I've always wanted to name a boy Allison.
Phoebe On Thursday, August 23 at 10:28 am
I really do like the last two.
Mrs. Jerz On Thursday, August 23 at 10:28 am
When my husband and I were first married, we talked about baby names ALOT. I liked the name Dalton Thomas. Hubby did not. I liked the name Miranda Rae. Hubby did not. He liked simple names: William, Robert, Joseph. Wifey did not.
One evening we were watching "The Quiet Man" with my father-in-law. John Wayne was his favorite actor, and as he became sick later in his life, he watched many hours of John Wayne, and Clint Eastwood.
Then it hit us. "Johathan Wayne". We agreed immediately. It covered so many requirements. 1) Father in laws favorite actor 2) True name was Marion Morrison, which was my maiden name. 3 Hubby got his simple name.
The girl's name was easy peasy. Jeana Rose: a combination of Hubby's mom and my mom.
Although we never had any children of our own, those names will stick with us forever.
Mumsy On Monday, August 27 at 10:00 pm
LOl we also chose a name from the Quiet Man, but didn't get to use it. Had our daughter been a boy her name would've been Michaleen, after Michaleen O'Flynn. We were planning to call him Mick for short.
Lisa's On Thursday, August 23 at 10:29 am
I love the name Caleb. You can't really shorten it. I would probably name another boy Henry…
Natalie On Thursday, August 23 at 10:29 am
We named our son Evan because when we were in the hospital and I was on the verge of an anxiety attack, feeling like the worst mother ever for not having a name picked out, all I could think was 'there is no name that is perfect enough for him' but somehow I remembered that Evan meant "a gift from God" and that is exactly what he was to us, so it was very fitting. His first and middle name is Evan Foster. I just love it!
Sarah P On Thursday, August 23 at 10:29 am
My three sons …
Luke Paul
Aaron Joseph
Levi William
We obviously went for the biblical theme.
Leah On Thursday, August 23 at 10:29 am
I really love the name Emerson. It's starting to become somewhat of a girls name now though with the spelling "Emersyn"…I have a few years to decide on names though.
Melinda On Thursday, August 23 at 10:29 am
I, too, LOVE choosing names! My 3 kids all have special names- my twins Elisa Ray (I loved the books "The Zion Covenant" and vowed to name my first girl after the main character. Ray was my maiden name.) and Reece Jefferson (Reece is the maiden name of my husband's great grandma and Jefferson means "son of Jeffrey", which is my husband's name!). My third child is Lindy Sue- Lindy after a dear family friend and Sue is my middle name. If Lindy had been a boy, she would have been Kurt James. My current favorite boys name is Clark- after Superman
Dana B On Thursday, August 23 at 10:29 am
Our son's name is William Barret. He goes by Barret. Named after William Barret Travis who fought at the Alamo.
Jill On Thursday, August 23 at 10:29 am
I have like the name Cheyenne for a boy. Reminds me of a good lookin' cowboy!
Kadie On Thursday, August 23 at 10:29 am
I'm partial to Wyatt (my 5 yr old's name) – we had the name picked out for YEARS before we had him … infertility messed up our baby schedule, and the name has become increasingly popular & less unique in the 5 yrs since our Wyatt was born. That's a trend for us – picking a name that wasn't super popular, until we chose it for our kids (we have a daughter, Amelia, who is one of 3 Amelia's born at our local hospital in 1 month!)
I'm also partial to Callan (pronounced like Alan w/a "k" sound in front)- which is my 2 week old son's name. We couldn't agree on a boys' name this time (he's our 3rd baby and we kept his gender a mystery until birth) – happened to be surfing the channels one night and settled on NCIS: Los Angeles, which has a character whose last name is Callan. We looked at each other and said "Callan…that's it!" We live in a relatively small town, so we know he'd be unique!
And then Drew Brees and his wife had a baby and named him Callen (same pronunciation as our Callan). So I'm guessing our Callan won't be too unique after all – at least in name
The Imp On Thursday, August 23 at 10:29 am
Ooh. Benjamin and Samuel are two of my favorites as well. (Benjamin is my brother's middle name, actually, and it means "son of my right hand" which derives to "strength".)
Asher (means "blessed")
Mary Beth On Thursday, August 23 at 10:29 am
G.Martie On Thursday, August 23 at 10:29 am
Wow, PW, that's quite an interesting list of boy names. I can't say I liked any of them. For some reason I don't like a lot of boy names, but here are the ones that I do like. I like boy names that are strong and manly. Ashley doesn't evoke that for me, sorry. : ) Here are my few favorites:
Juli On Thursday, August 23 at 10:30 am
Augustus and Hazel
sara On Thursday, August 23 at 10:30 am
Jake. Gavin. Dylan. Finn. this is fun =)
Maureen On Thursday, August 23 at 10:30 am
I have always LOVED the name Preston. Since I was like 12 years old! I also like the name Atticus from "To Kill a Mockingbird." I think it's a strong name.
Bonnie Taylor On Thursday, August 23 at 10:30 am
My grandson, husband, father, father-in-law and more further back are all Charles with variations so we can tell who we are talking about. Chuckie, Chuck, Charles, Charlie and Chad. My son is Weston James.
Janine On Thursday, August 23 at 10:30 am
Ashley was actually a boy's name long before it was a girl's name….in fact, anywhere outside the US, it is still predominantly a boy's name!
Julie Galloway On Thursday, August 23 at 10:30 am
1st and middle names random order
Simon Thomas
Stuart Abraham
Grady Morrow
Alexander Cannon ( call him Xander )
Eziekle Ferrell ( call him Zeke )
Axel Cannon
Kaden Mathew
Rylie Cannon
Cannon Ferrell
Easton Levi
You probably noticed repeats on some of the names , this is because they are family names which I love. All of our children have family names .
Kelly On Thursday, August 23 at 10:30 am
If we had a boy we would have named him Trenton James. I like the name Shane too.
jennifer On Thursday, August 23 at 10:31 am
Top ten..
Susan J On Thursday, August 23 at 10:31 am
Daniel is my favorite name for a guy. I just wanted names that would suit my children throughout their lives – didn't want to go too cute or trendy.
My pediatrician came into the room after the birth of my third baby. He really liked our choice of names and wanted me to know that. He had just examined an infant who's name was "Cinnamon Dyck". Yep – that's right. Poor Doc saw all kinds of problems for that kid as he grew up.
B-Dub Writes On Thursday, August 23 at 10:31 am
I had a hard time naming my boys! My 5 year old is Jacob (we call him "JAKE") named after my father-in-law. #4 was a complete surprise and we took WEEKS coming up with a name for him. Chose FINN in the end. it fits him PERFECTLY!
My other faves are:
So, 3 of my 4 kid names are classics: Emma, Lara, Jacob. Finn is the only one that we stretched for. And he deserves it! Born 14 weeks early at 1 pound 14 ounces, he is now 10 months old and 16 pounds! SO proud of him!
karen roper On Thursday, August 23 at 10:57 am
I love the name Finn!! Ever since I read a quirky little book called "Mister God, This is Anna" Probably out of print now but wondering if you've ever read it? Hoping my daughter uses Finn for my-soon-to-be grandson's name. With her surname of McCary I think it would make a fine and proper Scottish name
Mallory On Thursday, August 23 at 10:31 am
I must say that you have impeccable taste. My first son (who just turned 10 months old) is named Beau. Such a classic and strong name indeed.
Shelley On Thursday, August 23 at 10:31 am
Love the names Brooks and Baylor for boys. My husband is a football coach and wanted to name our son Clete.
christina On Thursday, August 23 at 10:32 am
This is a great list! All our kids names come from songs…
so my sons name is Jude … favorite boy of all time
I love the names : Finn, Baylor, and Abram///
Leslie On Thursday, August 23 at 10:32 am
My son's name is David Hugh. My husband wanted Hugh (his grandfather's name) to be our son's first name but that was not happening for me. I wanted his name to be Noah Gordon (Gordon is my Mom's maiden name) but my husband hated Noah. So, David it is and we both love it!
Sarah On Thursday, August 23 at 10:32 am
We have 4 girls & no boys. So sad. But we have a laundry list of boys names we love.
Bradley, Nico, Makafana (Polynesian), Jesse, Giovanni, Sterling, Harrison, Jameson, Liam, Declan….I could go on. Lets hope this baby I'm expecting is a boy.
Jenn @ Jenn Likes It On Thursday, August 23 at 10:32 am
My boys are Alistair and Wesley and I obviously am fond of both names. If we have another boy someday, I want to name him Hugo. It's short but still a little fancy/French. You just know a kid named Hugo will grow up to be brilliant and creative. I also love the name Owen, but my friends have used that named already, so it's off limits.
Amy On Thursday, August 23 at 10:32 am
I have an Alexander! My other son is named Miles – and it fits his fast car-loving personality perfectly!
Jeccaess On Thursday, August 23 at 10:32 am
My nephew's name is Jude Henry – I love it!
kristi On Thursday, August 23 at 10:32 am
My son's name is Jude and that is my all time fave boy name. (Yes, he is named after the song…and therefore no, he is not named after Jude Law.) My baby boy on the way will be named Leonidas – Leo for short. (His daddy got to name him.)
Emily On Thursday, August 23 at 10:32 am
We just had a baby boy. He was 11 weeks yesterday and his name is Max. I've always thought that name was so masculine sounding. Also, I love that I can make awesome t-shirts for him when he is a star football player. They will read…"MAX POWER" or "MAX EFFORT" or something to that effect
Diana - Highland, IL On Thursday, August 23 at 10:33 am
My three sons are named Joshua (Josh).. his middle name is Charles, which is my husband's, father and father-in-law's middle names as well…. second son is Aaron Patrick, and the baby (Ha.. he is 29!! .. how did THAT happen) is Benjamin David… I LOVE all their names, though by the third one we were having to really think about it.. IF I had been blessed with a daughter, she would have been named Sara, or Hannah, or by the third time, I knew I didn't have to worry about a girl's name!! LOL… I love Sam (Sam Elliott anyone! :-)…too, or Samuel. and Joe was in the mix for son #3…I am partial to strong biblical/old-fashioned names too…but you could throw in a Beau. My hubs name is Steve (Stephen)…. Shane is a good one, Brody…oh, I I think I'll stop now!! LOL.
Jena On Thursday, August 23 at 10:33 am
Always wanted a little boy named Kelly. If anyone watched Guiding Light in the 80's u might remember a doctor by that name. But my husband was having none of that. So I have a Will and Drew which I couldn't be happier with.
Alysia On Thursday, August 23 at 10:33 am
I have a friend who just named her baby GIRL Beau….LOVE IT!
Kimberlee On Thursday, August 23 at 10:33 am
My no. 1 favorite boy's name is my son's name, Patriot William. We needed to find a different name for him since our last name is sooooo common. We named him Patriot in honor of all the many veterans in our family. William after my granddaddy. Little did I know after doing some genealogy this past year, that my sixth and seventh grandfathers (father & son) served with George Washington at Valley Forge, and helped him cross the Delaware River in his famous crossing. Their names? William, two patriot soldiers named William, that gave me goosebumps when I found that.
I have always loved the names Ashley and Beau!
Tisa in So Cal On Thursday, August 23 at 10:33 am
My son is 15, Evan Matthew. My boyfriends name is Matthew and his 5 year old son is Evan. I guess those are popular names!
Kelly On Thursday, August 23 at 10:33 am
My husband and I love family names, so if we ever have a boy his name will be Jesse Augustus. Jesse, after my Granddaddy and a wonderful biblical name and Augustus, after his great-grandfather and because we're obsessed with Lonesome Dove. My younger brother's name is Kane Kennedy (Kennedy is my mom's maiden name) and that is my MOST favorite boy name of all time
heidik On Thursday, August 23 at 10:33 am
1. Thomas. I'd call him Magnum after the Tom Selleck role.
2. Samuel. Sam is a wonderful boy's name.
Chad On Thursday, August 23 at 10:33 am
My sons are Rowan and Reece.
We had a hard time deciding, had a lot of absolutely nots, we both agreed on these, purely coincidence that they are both "R" names.
Liza On Thursday, August 23 at 11:57 am
My boy is a Rowan, too! Love this name and love that it's also a tree. My daughter's name is Lily, so I have a flower and a tree. Perfect!

Danice On Thursday, August 23 at 10:33 am
Clark for a boy, definitely, and Petula, Priscilla or Penelope for a girl. I'm wondering why the baby names posts personally!
cindy d On Thursday, August 23 at 10:33 am
In order to use the name I wanted for my youngest son I convinced my husband that he could name the baby if it were a girl and I would get to choose the name for a boy. I knew chances were great that it would be a boy since his brothers only have boys….our youngest is named Joshua Tyler. I love the name as much today as I did 30 years ago! By the way if he had been a girl her name would have been Rhona.
