Name Update!

Update on Baby Girl or Boy Fink! Heather writes:
We have not had baby boy #3 yet but we have selected his name. My father in law passed away very unexpectedly on January 20th after complications due to a hospital stay for minor out patient surgery. He was only 62 and very healthy so it was a shock to us. My FIL loved Harley motorcycles, riding them and being outdoors. I am not a fan of the name Harley so we decided to go with the name Ryder as our own inside tribute to the great man "Paw Paw" was.

Baby #3 will be named Ryder Donald Fink. First name at tribute to the hobby Paw Paw loved and the middle name Paw Paw's first name. We love it as our personal tribute to him and now our baby will carry on a piece of the grandpa he will not be able to know.

Thank you so much for the name ideas and the polls. Carter had been our choice until we lost Paw Paw.

Thank you again!

Grant, Brady and Ryder. Great sibling combination, and an awesome tribute!

I love the sibling names together and the tribute is so special. I named my daughter sort of after my mother, who passed away when I was a teenager. Her name was Felicitas and I named her Felicity. I LOVE seeing her name. I LOVE knowing that a piece of my mom lives on.

I am so sorry for your family's loss. That is a charming way to honor Paw Paw.
