(soothing acoustic guitar music)
- Hi Daddy.
- Hi Duncan, how are you today?
(laughing) - Hi future-Daddy.
- I can do the whole thing.
- Are you saying hi to me when I edit?
- Hi Jake.
- Hi guys.
- So we're expecting our fifth child,
and our fourth boy, and oh, my goodness,
how tricky is it, you guys, to pick out a fourth boy name?
(quirky music)
- We used all the good ones.
(laughing)
- We used 'em all!
So we've been really pondering
what we're gonna name this new little guy,
and today I wanted to share the baby names
that we love, but won't be using.
- I want you.
- You want me?
Okay, come on over here.
Oh, do you like sittin' there?
(laughing)
- Oh, there you are.
- What are your ideas for some names for this little guy?
- Tim Taco!
- Tim Taco.
- Tim Taco, the classic.
So Tim Taco is the name that Jacob wanted to name Parker
when I was pregnant with Parker.
He said he wanted to name him Tim, for grandpa,
and Taco, because tacos.
(laughing)
- Tacos for Tim! - Good reasons.
- I would like the name Roland, because...
- Roland?
- Yeah.
- All right.
- 'Cause it's just...
Rolling in my mom's tummy.
(laughing)
- I like the name Ruby, because...
There's an umbilical cord in there, because...
Like, rubies are pointy and like, straight,
if I have to say that?
- Is that why...
You've liked the name Ruby for years.
Parker's named like, all of his stuffed animals
and everything Ruby.
- Is that because of umbilical cords?
(laughing)
Or you just like the name?
- I just like the name.
- Okay, you don't have to have a reason.
(laughing)
- And I also like the name Blue Boy because...
- Wait, Blue Boy?
Okay, Blue Boy, do you know anybody named Blue Boy?
- I know several acquaintances.
Several Blue Boys.
(laughing)
- There's like this hair dye that's called...
Blue Baby.
Wait, Blueberry...
- Blueberry maybe?
- No, Blue...
It's something with a person.
- Baby Blue?
- Baby Blue!
But it's a hair dye.
- Okay.
Yeah, and I have it, and...
(laughing)
- Lot of baby food!
- Lot of baby food, will that get you
through the video you think?
- Yeah.
(laughing)
- 'Kay, you ready?
- One of the names I like is Gwen, because my...
Friend is named it, and my grandma is named it, and...
- I like the name Gwen too.
I think in...
I think there's a guy in the Hunger Games named Gwen,
or maybe not.
Maybe his last name's Gwen?
I don't know.
- Is it spelled with an I?
- Gwin?
I don't know.
- I like the name Grace, because...
It was my babysitter's name.
- That's a good name, I like that name too.
Thank you.
- Okay, so I have a few names.
- Okay.
- They're pretty cool.
I really like Flynn.
- I like the name Flynn too.
- And also Finn.
- Okay, I love the name Flynn, and Finn,
and I actually like the name Griffin,
and then shortened to Finn,
Even Jacob, I think I wanted to name Finn,
and I wanted to name him Griffin,
so I wanted to name all three of these boys
at one point Finn.
(baby cooing)
And the full name being Griffin.
But Christopher doesn't like that as much, right?
- Well, at this point, like, there's already a Flynn.
- Well, yeah, at this point, but I mean, in the past...
Christopher was...
Said no to that one, so that's why these boys
aren't named Finn.
- This video has become a baby food mukbang,
I'm just gonna say...
(laughing)
That's basically what we're doing here.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
So everyone needs baby food.
- (laughs) No, not everybody gets...
We've only got...
This is all Duncan, he needs to take this all down.
- I also like the name Reynie.
- Reynie?
- Yeah.
It's from his book, right?
- Yeah, it's from a really good book that I like.
- I really like the name Reynie too.
- Daddy, do you like the name Reynie?
- Reynie?
Yeah, it's good.
- It's short for Reynard.
- That's a great name.
- I thought it was Remy that whole time.
- No, it's Reynie.
- Reynie?
That whole time I've been listening to that audiobook,
thinking it was Remy Muldoon?
(laughing)
And it's Reynie, with an N?
(laughing)
- So Reynie is from the book,
The Mysterious Benedict Society, the book series.
- The three books.
- And we've been listening to them on audiobook
on the long drives that we've been taking lately, and...
They're good books, it's fun.
- Ford.
- Ford? - Ford's a good name.
- Ford's a strong name. - I have a feeling
I know where that's from.
(laughs) Is that a little...
- Harrison?
(laughing)
- Harrison, that's a good name too.
- How about Ford, middle name Harrison?
Ford Harrison?
- Ford Harrison Han Solo Indiana Jones Ballinger.
(laughing)
- I think Christopher would be on board with that.
- If that's the full name, yes.
- I think he's actually suggested it a few times.
- Put that paragraph on the birth certificate.
(laughing)
- 'Kay, Duncan's gonna go play, we'll see if he comes back.
- You got a lot of baby good though.
- Got a lot of baby food.
- In the meantime.
- For our baby food mukbang.
And I should say that we have one name right now
that we really like, but we are not 100% committed to it,
we don't know if it's gonna be the name.
And then there's another name...
(laughs) That Parker is fighting for,
and really, really loves, and I actually really like it,
but I don't know, I don't know how to make that name work.
And then we are also open to other names,
like, I feel like I could change at the last second even
at this point, so I really wanna hear names
from you guys too, so in the comment section,
please, please, please give us ideas.
- And I have a name picked out,
just in case he gets born on my birthday.
- So this baby is actually due somewhat close
to Bailey's birthday, and... (laughs)
I told her that if he's actually born on her birthday,
that she can name him.
So I'm really hoping that I don't go a week overdue,
which is what that would entail,
and I kinda am betting on that.
I told Bailey that if this baby was born on her birthday,
she could name him.
- This was not discussed with me.
- It wasn't. (laughs)
- This is a side deal.
- If he's born on my birthday, I'm gonna name him Jamie.
- Jamie, like from Outlander.
- So who's actually naming this baby?
Where's this actually coming from?
- Bailey, it's Bailey!
Only if he's born on her birthday though.
- What do you wanna name the baby, Duncan?
- Um...
Pete!
- Pete?
- Pete? I love that name!
That's one of the names that I totally would use,
except we already have a Parker,
and I feel like having a Peter, and a Parker...
- Da Da!
- For Da Da?
That's a good name.
- This boy.
- This boy?
(baby babbling)
- Parker.
- A Step To Parker.
- A Step To Parker?
- And Da Da!
(laughing)
- And Da Da?
- Any other names?
- Jake!
- Jake! (laughs)
- And Jake!
(laughing)
- Do you like any other names?
- Yeah.
- What other names?
- Spitting Things.
- Spitting Things?
- Spitting Things? (laughs)
I don't know about little Spitting Things.
(laughing)
- No!
(laughing)
Daddy, it's funny!
- It is funny.
What's another name?
(baby babbling)
What?
- Chewing Things.
- Chewing Things. - Chewing Things.
So Spitting Things, or Chewing Things.
(laughing)
- A Step To Parker, Pete, and Da Da.
- I want you.
- You want me?
- (laughs) Okay.
So Duncan's put in his two cents.
And actually, I don't think we're going to use any of those.
- What, no?
Not Step To Parker?
(laughing)
- I like Connor, and Owen, and...
- I really like the name Owen.
I've tried to talk Daddy into Owen a couple times.
- Owen's a good name, what are you talkin' about?
- All right, that's his name, it's done!
It's on camera, it's recorded, he agrees.
- This whole video is just tricking me into names,
that's what it is.
(laughing)
- So are you saying you're not okay with the name Owen?
- Not anymore.
- Like you've been telling me for years.
- I like the name...
James.
I like the names Jacob, Parker, and Duncan.
- (gasps) Thank you.
- Those names sound really familiar to me.
- Yeah, I don't know...
- I also like Charlie.
- Charlie, that's a cute name, I like it.
So let's hear what Christopher likes.
I'm excited to hear this.
- I like kinda old-fashioned-y names.
- Which I like too.
- So I like the name Walter.
- No.
(laughing)
- Little Wally!
You got a little Wally!
- I love Wally.
- I love Wally!
- Wally is very cute.
- Walt?
Call him Walt?
- I like Walt.
- Walt is the oldest man's name that I can imagine.
- Also the name of a genius,
that brought us Mickey the Mouse.
- Which explains...
Why you like the name Walter.
- Yeah, okay, that's where it comes from, yeah.
Another name that I liked was Carter.
- Are you gonna pronounce it like that?
- No, I was just pronouncing it
so that people knew what I was saying.
- Okay.
- 'Cause I kinda go Card-er,
like it's a little back-of-the-throat-y when I say it.
- 'Cause you were like Cart-er,
like someone who pulls a cart.
- Cart-er.
- Like very specifically.
Carter's a nice name.
- Yeah.
- Yeah, I like Carter too.
- Yeah.
But Carter Ballinger doesn't really...
- Well, and it kinda sounds like Parker,
and I think that's what's tricky,
is that when we have so many kids,
we have to be really careful about how they go together.
- I really like the name David,
but I have an Uncle David, and I feel like
there might be confusion there.
- Yeah.
- Or what have you.
- And that actually plays a lot into my list, because...
I like a lot of names, but there are already family members
with the last name Ballinger that have those names,
and I don't know why,
but that's always been a thing I haven't wanted.
So I know people go for that, like...
Like, people have suggested, "why not Chris, Jr."
or things like that, and I personally,
like, I don't want a duplicate name,
even in extended family, if we can.
Little Dave, little Davy?
I don't know.
- Davy Crockett Ballinger?
(laughing)
- That got the laughs, Christopher!
- Never smile at a...
- Davy Crockett-dile.
(laughing)
- The word association that's going on here
is pretty intense.
I like the name Noah.
- Yeah, that was on my list.
- And we've talked about Noah, even like,
as early as Jacob, but I feel like we just have never...
- Yeah, it's always been on the list,
and we came really close to naming Duncan Noah.
- But I like that we named him Duncan.
It fits, Noah wouldn't fit him as well as Duncan does.
- Lil' Dunc.
And also, I have this hashtag that I used
for the longest time, which was PBandJKids,
and that stood for Parker, Bailey, and Jacob,
and then when we had Duncan, I used the D for Duncan
for like, the a-n-D.
It's a really cute and fun thing, and I love it,
and I think people...
There are people that comment saying,
"oh, well, you need an A or an N,"
and Noah fits in that. (laughs)
But at the same time, I don't wanna base naming
our people off of a hashtag need, like a hashtag goal.
So like, I think this probably will divert from that,
but I don't know for sure.
Like, if we found a perfect A or N name,
like, I would go with it, but at the same time, like...
I feel this weird pressure to like, fit into that hashtag,
and that's so silly, like, that's just not...
The thing that should matter. - And I have another name.
Al...
I forgot it.
- Al, Al I forgot?
- No, no, no, no.
- Alexander?
- No.
- Alejandro?
- No.
- Al...
I really wanna know, I wanna guess it.
- Al...
- Ouch?
- Alabama?
- Alex?
- Alex!
- Alex?
That's a nice name.
Do you like the full Alexander?
- No, Alexander the Great.
- Alexander the Great.
(laughing)
That's excellent, I like that.
And that works with the hashtag.
- It's from the past.
- It's from the past!
What about Xander, that's the end part of Alexander.
- Oh, yes...
Alexander...
- Yeah.
- Oh.
(laughing)
- What about...
- Yeah, he's the great...
- This little pinky went to the market, so Pinky.
- Oh, he started moving.
He either really likes the name Pinky,
or Alexander the Great I think.
- I feel him.
- I have one last name that I've very much let go,
but at one time I really liked it,
and I wanted to name Parker this name, Milt.
- What?
- Milt.
- That sounds like milk.
- No, Milt, with a T.
- It does sound like milk.
- We can name him Milky.
- But Jessica shut that down pretty quick.
- I'm shutting it down right now.
(laughing)
- That's a name.
- You like it?
Do you like it?
You having a change of heart?
- He definitely stopped moving.
- Oh.
(laughing)
- In fear, he was like...
He was like, "this is great, Alexander the Great,
"Alex, I like it, Milt..."
(laughing)
But I mean, no offense.
- I don't think no offense.
- No offense.
We've been on the fence for Noah for a long time,
it's a good name.
- We've been on the Noah-fence.
(laughing)
- I feel like it's gotten more and more popular,
and that's why it's harder, like...
- Yeah, that's true.
- And actually, okay, well that leads
into my names really nicely, because...
I really like the name Jonah, and we used to talk
about Jonah, Noah, or Jacob, when we named Jacob.
And we knew that if we said Jonah or Noah,
we couldn't use the other, but then they kinda like,
canceled each other out, and we went with Jacob.
Hey!
And I feel like a Jonah and a Jacob...
I know a lot of people do like,
the same sounds for their kids too,
but I would have trouble with that.
Like, I already mix up their names,
and I feel like if I had two J-sounding kids,
like a Jonah and a Jacob--
- And a Jessica.
- And a Jessica, like, I don't know how you do it
with both of us, but I feel like
that would really mess with my head.
- Along the same lines of like,
having the same kind of sound in a name,
I think there's a lot of -er names that we had
on our earlier list that now, since we have Parker,
and our last name is Ballinger...
- Right.
- Like, we have a hard time, so like Hunter, or Fisher...
- Yeah, Fisher I always loved.
So I love Fisher, and I love Fletcher.
I love both those a lot, and I love the name--
- I like Fletcher.
- Yeah, and I love the name Tucker.
- Oh, yeah.
- And I also like the name Foster.
Another catch with me though, is I love to have a name
that you can add like an -ey sound to.
So I like to abbreviate, and then...
Like Jakey, or--
- Wally, like Wally for example!
(laughing)
- That's the best part of the name Walter.
- And Milty!
- Milty doesn't work as well.
Milty sounds like the name's gone bad.
(laughing)
I'm gonna start calling food
that's gone bad Milty from now on.
Oh, I don't know, this is a little Milty.
- It's like in between wilted and mold.
- Yeah.
- And I call Duncan Dunky,
and we call Parker Parky sometimes,
and I call Christopher Chrissy!
So I like to be able to do that at least a little bit.
- Jessie!
- Yeah, Milty!
- So a name that I like is Grayden,
and it would be Gradie for short, like mostly Gradie.
And I also like the name Grayson,
I have a cousin named Grayson.
- Grayson's a cool name.
- Gradie sounds like gravy.
- Gradie does sound like gravy,
but I don't know why I like it.
Another name that I think is like, the perfect name
is the name Trent, and it's a family name for Christopher.
His brother's name is Trent,
and then in his family it's also a last name,
and I really, really like the name Trent,
but I think because we already have somebody so close to us
with the name Trent, it doesn't work,
but I think of it every time, 'cause I love it.
I think it's like, the perfect name.
- It's a good name, it's a good name.
- I think it's so cool.
And then a lot of people have suggested Andrew,
especially when we were pregnant with Duncan,
because of that PbandJ thing,
like they wanted the "and" in there,
and that's really cute, but again, like,
we have somebody named Andrew in our family--
- I have two cousins named Andrew.
- Yeah, it's a popular name in the Ballinger clan.
And again, I don't wanna name our kids
just because of a hashtag, so...
As much as I think it's really cool,
like the PBandJ thing just actually happened,
and then the Duncan worked with "and,"
and I was like, that's cool,
but I don't know that we're gonna stick with that.
I like the name Milo a lot,
and you've always said that it reminds you
of the movie Milo and Otis, that it reminds you of a dog.
- And also, it also is kinda like--
- I'm also open to Otis.
(laughing)
- Oh, you don't like that one, huh?
How 'bout Otis?
(laughing)
- I like 'em both, they're cute!
So I know that was quite the variety
of very interesting names, and basic names,
and again, we'd love to hear from you guys,
because we're still trying to figure out
exactly what we're gonna name this little guy.
We have a couple good ideas, but we don't know for sure.
