I really like Samuel as it is an old family name on both sides. but we cant use that name because i have a close cousin with a 3 year old with that name.

I really LOVE Jack but we cant go with Jackson Samuel... for obvious reasons. LOL.

but Walker Miller doesnt sound right...

its all jumbled.

Ok, it's still early hear. I don't get it why you can't go with Jackson Samuel...for me it isn't to obvious.

Re: Help me with a baby name.

What I have discovered, is that for the most part, the middle name of a person is rarely mentioned or used. On most papers you only fill out your middle initial. If he becomes a famous person he'll likely go by Jack Miller or Jackson Miller, or Jackson S. Miller...

But, if you can't say the name without thinking of Samuel L. than you're probably wise not to use it. Unless he comes out black.. and that would be sign from heaven.

Re: Help me with a baby name.

I thought Jack Walker Miller reminded me of a beer company lol... but I still love those names and would use them myself.

Prov 22:1 A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches, and loving favour rather than silver and gold.

"Jack" is a 'cool' name, but the reason I voted against it is due to it being an evasive synonym for "satan."

But "Eli Samuel," now there is a name full of great meaning! "ELI" is "MY GOD." "SAMUEL" is "HEARD OF GOD." To me, to KNOW your God and to know you're HEARD by your God, is a powerful thing for a son to be known by.

if you go thru the thread you will see a picture of an actor named Samuel L. Jackson.

He is a great actor but I wouldnt name my kid Hank Thomas either....

Tom Hanks (also a great actor)
