\"\"<\/a>By popular demand, below are the clues to deciphering the long awaited, much anticipated and oft debated naming of the twins. Who knew that this would become such a popular guessing game \u2013 from the center of elementary school gossip in the grass seed capitol of the world (Albany, Ore.) to the<\/strong> topic of conversation among the ladies in Camarillo, Calif.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. We are expecting two baby boys. They are boys names.<\/li>\n
  2. They are both real, actual, previously existing names. We haven\u2019t created anything new. (We are also using standard spellings.)<\/li>\n
  3. Our last name is Stream. Out of respect for our children and the desire to save money on future therapy sessions, the first names are not nouns.<\/li>\n
  4. In order to prevent schoolyard bullying, we are very conscious about potential initial issues. The names do not invite any embarrassing initial combinations.<\/li>\n
  5. Yes, they are twins. But they are going to be individual people. The names do not rhyme or match.<\/li>\n
  6. No alliteration occurs \u2013 neither between the two first names nor with our last name.<\/li>\n
  7. Each name has multiple syllables. (Hey, we are having multiple babies!)<\/li>\n
  8. The first names are of Gaelic origin. You\u2019re on your own regarding where the middle names came from.<\/li>\n
  9. Neither child has a first name bestowed upon him in honor of someone we know.<\/li>\n
  10. There are no Juniors anywhere in the near Stream future.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Please ponder and enjoy. Jon and I were very lucky in that we didn\u2019t have much of a battle deciding upon our sons names \u2013 we certainly think they\u2019re priceless regardless.<\/p>\n

    Feel free to share your thoughts and guesses \u2013 we\u2019ll share the results when they arrive. Any winners will be offered first visitation rights.\u00a0 Bonus points if you get the middle names as well\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
