Whats in a Name?

I have been having trouble with names. I don't want to name the bean before I see him but to prevent him not having a name for weeks while Terry and I fight over it I think we should have a few favorites picked out. We have to decide on something that bean is going to live with forever. For those of you who know Terry and I, we are definitely on opposite ends of the spectrum. Terry insists that all my names are down home southern country boys. I believe that Terry's names are boarding school preppy kids. Dilemma, much.

I wanted to post some of our favorites and see what everyone else thinks. I also added nicknames, meanings, and stereotypes from this book I have. We still have a few months to decide but honestly it might take that long. I am going to add a polled so that you can vote on your favorite. We'll see which name wins before I pop.

Finn (maybe Finnian) - gaelic, little fair one. There's never a dull or quiet moment when Finn is around. People find this name fit for a gregarious, cheerful Irishman who has a great sense of humor as well as a short temper. Whether he owns a pub or works some blue collar job, he's said to be loud and fun loving. Not surprisingly, Finn is imagined with freckles and red hair.

Wesley - english, western meadow. Full of personality, and he likes to share it. He's seen as a vibrant, popular, and amusing guy who's as smart as he is kind. He's most likely lanky with light-brown hair. Some people say this hard worker is eager to please, but others describe his as a bit of a showoff.
