So remember that my boy's name is Carsten Joseph Mayer? Well, I've been told that it was stupid (basically), so I've changed it.
We have either Andrew Joseph "Andy" Mayer or Patrick Joseph Mayer. Good, classic names. Andy sounds like a laidback kind of guy, right?

On the bandwagon
No, not on the baby bandwagon! It seems half the people I went to high school with are, and good for them! I'd prefer to wait a few more years. But as stereotypical as it is, I already have names in mind:
For a girl - Audrey Catherine "Cate" Mayer
Audrey was my great-grandmother, and quite a hoot from what I understand! In my mind I've always perceived her as a strong woman, especially someone who fought breast cancer and could joke, "Let me go put my boobs on," before going to town.
Catherine is a good traditional name, with "C" being the English spelling. It is also a Catholic name, and since our children will probably be raised that denomination, it seems appropriate. Catherine is also the name of many, many strong women in history.
For a boy - Carsten Joseph Mayer
I've always said that my children need to have names that can be found on a bicycle license plate, but you can have them custom made now.
Carsten is the German variant of Christian. I'll probably have to fight Michael on this one, but Carson would also be okay.
Joseph is Michael's middle name. And his brother's. And his dad's. And his grandfather's. And his great-grandfather's first name. See where I'm going? If we had 10 children and they were all boys, they'd all have the middle name Joseph.
Cate Mayer and Carsten Mayer.
