My cousin let her son name their youngest. Course baby #3 is now has the same name as a historical president Alexander (last name too). But it isn’t as cool as Hot Dog Baby ;)

Hot Dog Baby! I love that. I can’t imagine why you wouldn’t consider it. :)

If we had taken Sophia’s suggestions, Maeve would have been named “Hot Dog Baby.” But some of my friends have had better luck.

I totally think kids should be involved. If they are old enough, you have all family members contribute names to a list and then vote a few times to narrow it down to a few names. I’m a big fan of taking two or three names to the birth and then waiting to see which one fits the best. Plus, kids can have more than one name. If you are truly concerned about them feeling left out, try to use one name from each child.
