Patrick as in Patrick Cleburne?
Benjamin is out as he'd be nicknamed Spoons.
Ulysseus is out as the poor lad was called useless.
Phil as in Sheridan?
William Tecumseh is good as in Marching Through Jawja or William Taliferro (defender of Charleston).
Joshua as in everybody's favorite colonel from Little Round Top.
Warren if you prefer grey on Little Round Top (second place winner).
Joseph as in Uncle Joe.
John as in Papa John Sedgwick, but not John as in J. B. Hood who destroyed the AoT. John as in John Gordon is good too or John Mosby.
Gouveneur as in V Corps Commander and the man who watches over Little Round Top.
Hiram as in the marksman turned coward but he was still an accomplished inventor.
Nathan if you can see a tree but not the woods.
Robert as in Marsh Bob or Granny Lee.
Pierre as in P. G. T. Beauregard
Quincy as in the capturer of Fort Pulaski (but got stalemated at Charleston).
Truman as in the most famous sharpshooter on the Union side (Truman Head, aka California Joe).
Jubal only if he's trained to get up early or
Pete if he's trained to get up late (Longstreet)
Thomas if he's partial to long, quick marches.

You name that child Quincy or Gouvenor and I will personally come over there and stamp your computer into mush. All kidding aside, what are you leaning toward?

ok, wanted to update you as to what I used the gift certificate for!

After our baby shower we realized we didn't have any crib sheets or mattress pads, so that is what we used it for! Somethings I am sure we will need lots of!

They haven't come in yet, but I am already very excited!

Thank you very much!
