Hello, my name is...



We are so excited to share what we are naming our son: 

KAMDEN

We, well mostly me, wanted something a little different than Michael, Matthew, etc. since our last name is so common. While Jeff would say I came up with some pretty crazy ideas, we chose a name that you may not hear everyday but isn't completely unknown. And we LOVE it! There is no background story to why we picked it, other than we just liked it. However, I did start thinking about how we both grew up going to baseball games at Camden Yards. Like Camden Yards, the traditional spelling is with a 'C' and as an ode to my initials - KAM - we are spelling his name with a 'K'. We anticipate we will call him Kam for short. 

Kamden \k(a)-mden, kam-den\ as a boy's name is pronounced KAM-den. The meaning of Kamden is "winding valley". 

The origin of the name Camden is English.

Middle Name:

Sherwood

Jeff and his dad both share the middle name Sherwood. Jeff wanted to carry on this tradition to our son. Sherwood was his grandmother's maiden name. I like that it gives him a strong, distinguished name.

We can't wait to meet Kamden is plus or minus 17/18 weeks!

  2. Love his name and that you're using 'Sherwood' as his middle name. Grandma would be thrilled! Praying for your son, and the Godly parents you and Jeff will be!
