jonathan scot ramsey
matthew was almost named jonathan, and 4 years later we still like the name, so we decided to name him after the collective jonathan's in our life... good name.
scot is my middle name. my parents have informed me that the one 't' is in deference to our scottish heritage. i don't have much evidence of this scottish heritage, but i like the idea of it. someday i will return to visit my people. a lot of scottish folks settled in western nc because it reminded them of the highlands of scotland. there's actually a town (a stretch to call it a town) named 'ramsey' out there. we visited once. no one was around.
i'm actually 50% croatian, so we considered my grandma's maiden name, kutuzovich, but jonathan kutuzovich ramsey doesn't exactly roll off the tongue.
so here he is... with the rest of the clan (get it... scottish... clan?)...

Yes! I won!!! I won!!! I really liked Scot as a middle name. Sweetness. Jeff, you are a funny guy. Maybe that's why my husband likes you so much.
is it weird that I got teary-eyed when I saw Matthew's smiling face holding Jonathan? Beautiful baby, beautiful family. Congratulations!
Congrats on #4!! He is a beautiful addition to your loving family. Hope you are all doing well!!
kim, glad i could help you win. was their any money involved? if so, i'd like a cut...
kendal and megs, thanks. he's a cute kid. i like him a lot already and i think the rest of the family is pretty excited.
like the name. My friend is pregnant and married a guy and his name is "Scot" with one T. And they are naming their son Scot as well. :) I told them I had only ever heard of that name once with one T and that was you ;) He is adorable!!
Congrats Ramsey Clan all the way from Indiana! Glad to hear all is well with your family!
We came across your blog from the Wenger's blog.
Kendal, yes it is weird.
Jeff, could have done without the last picture there. Thanks for being on the spot to catch precious moments such as that though. If I ever have major surgery I'll call you in to document.
Lastly, Congratulations. I am honored to have a child named after me. Only there is no "athan" on my name, so if you could go ahead and kick that off there, that would be great. Thanks!
SUCH a cute fam :)
Jeff- you are 50% Coroatian? Me too...we need to talk!
I spent last summer visiting my relatives there, and I'm going back next summer.
mandy, yeah, i hadn't heard of anyone using one 't' before. my mom explained it yesterday saying she was 'young and foolish'...
wow, the cornwell's... how are you guys doing?
jon, i agree, a little tmi on that last pic. got carried away, just like when i gave you that hug...
emily, let's hear the family names. my mom's maiden name was domovich. maybe we're cousins...
Congratulations!!! Love the name - sounds very strong. I hope everyone is doing well. Can't wait to see more pictures.
Tell - BJ Leish said hi!
Mattew.... Put your little brother down!!!! Now!!!!
sorry I got carried away.

We're excited for you! Your son is very handsome:)

Jeff, sorry to say that no money was involved. I just won bragging rights; that's all.
Congratulations! I'm glad I got to see Bobbie Jo with child for the last day :) He is beautiful and so is his name! Jonathan is honored. I hope the sprinkle goes well today and you get some diapers, etc :)
