Jessika and I stewed over the name for this fury fetus all during her pregnancy. I still wanted Cash (round 2) but she didn't want an accountant being named Cash Hunter (or any professional really). She wanted Ryan, but I exercised my veto powers because all growing up I had like 2-3 Ryans in my class, only one of which I liked. So we put up a poll, as some of you have noticed on our blog (apparently too late) for some input into our cute quandary. Although Chase won by popular vote, our last name yet again let to the downfall of a Chase dynasty now since our nephew (Dana's son) is named Hunter. Chase Hunter becomes a command, not a name.
So (sigh...) back to the drawing board. The poll names were evidence of the names we liked.
We decided on JACOB RYAN HUNTER.
I couldn't shake my imprinting on Jacob while reading and enjoying the Twighlight series so when Jessika suggested Jacob I already liked it. Plus, as one of my friends said, Jacob is the name of the great Book of Mormon prophet. Then when we add Ryan in the middle it was a win-win...-win (according to Michael Scott).

I like your description on the name Chase and how it would be a command, that is funny! Jacob Ryan is a great name very strong! Congrats once again and I hope Jessika is recovering well and I am sure Jacob's big brothers are so excited!

Jes & Nick,
We sat by your Dad yesterday in church (yes, I am so happy to have them in a ward with us!) He told us you had named the baby Jacob Ryan and my Jacob (almost 7) got a great big smile. He is such a sweetie and I know your #3, Jacob will be too!Congratulations!

p.s. I am a HUGE Jacob (Twilight) Fan too! Do you think Nick could get John to read them??
it was about child pornography on the interent and the pervs that find pictures and trade with each other, it got a lot more graphic. i'm sure no one is looking on my blog, but it freaked me out so bad i just decided to make it private.
on that note:) hope you guys are doing good and adjusting to the new baby! he is just adorable!
