Our Babe NEEDS a BlogName!!

So... would you mind helping?? I am creating a "poll" over in the sidebar for choosing a blogname for our newest little guy. I hope that you will choose your favorites (I have allowed for you to choose more than one favorite!) to help me choose ONE name for our little guy!

Some of these names have been suggested through previous comments, some found and suggested by Grandpa when he was out visiting, some I found before the babe was born and just hadn't chosen for sure. If you don't really like any of those options... or you have a BETTER one, select "other" and come over here and leave a comment with your other choice!!

Here are the options and possible reasons for use...


An assortment of tree "terms"...

Berry (a small roundish juicy fruit without a stone)
Bonsai (the art of caring for and shaping trees with love and care)
Broadleaf (a tree with wide, flat leaves)
Burl (woody swelling where the stem joins the roots)
Bundle (a bundle scar is what is left on a twig after a leaf falls)
Bract (very small leaf, usually scale like and associated with a flower)
Blade (leaf excluding the stalk)
Basal (originally from the base)
Bole (another name for the trunk of a tree)
Bur (a prickly seed case or flowerhead that clings to animals and clothes)
