People frequently ask me if that boy is “The Boy”; that is, my son.I’d like to clear things up here and now:Nope. He’s not my son. He’s not “The Boy.”The Not So Fast boy is, however, going to be a big part of my life. He’ll travel with me to various speaking events. He’ll grace the blog and might be projected onto screens during PowerPoint presentations. His face will be associated with my name for some time.I feel that I should get to know the little guy. We need to bond.So I decided to name him.Here’s where you come in!Enter the “Name That Boy!” contest: Win a copy of Not So Fast!UPDATED: Time’s up for entering the contest. The winner of the random drawing will be announced soon!Yes, that’s right … Help name the Not So Fast boy and win a book (maybe two!).Two ways to win:

  1. Suggest a name in the comments to be entered in a drawing—you can suggest more than one name in your comment, but one person is one entry whether you suggest one name for the boy or five (multiple comments by the same person will be considered one).

    Noah, Luke, Matthew, John, Joshua, Samuel, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Daniel, David… you see where I am going with this. I can’ t narrow it down either! LOL.

  8. Jackie says

    Kevin…….a very uncomplicated name…as you can see from the pic, he already has too much put on him!

  13. shepherdsgrace says

    okay….Maximillian Machivelli or Harry D. Childe, hahahah, get it, harried child…

  14. Jane Anne says

    Here are my suggestions:

    Jonathan

    David

    Thomas

    Henry

    Cade

    Matt

    Aaron

    Ryan

    Hayden

    Yep, the names of the kids in the family (mine + their cousins)

  16. Jen says

    A name says a lot about a person and i think if you want to pick a name you must look at his eyes. To me he is either an Emerson or a Maxwell.

  17. Seth says

    I know his name. This little boy lived down the street from me.

    His name is: Chauncy William Robert Salmon, III. His nickname is “Bone-Crusher.”

  18. Sharinskishe says

    You know this is a very hard request! We all have names for this overwhelmed boy, because we all experience the heaviness of over-activity in our lives.

    I love Shepherds Grace’s suggestion of Harry D. Childe, harried child… That is so clever.

    I came up with:

    Jeffrey O. Verload – Free Jeffrey, Free Jeffrey, Free Jeffrey!!!

    Skyler S. Full- (mom said the sky’s the limit to what I can do)

    Justin Cage (Stop the insanity, just put me in a cage!)

    Thanks for inviting us to help you.

    My first thought was Tucker (he looks like a Tucker?) and then I thought…yes, because he’s plumb tuckered out with all those activities! 🙂

  24. hopeannfaith says

    He looks like a Marc Allan to me…

    His parents are trendy and keep up with the Jones’ type. He would have a big name. A name that is just a little too heavy for a kid, like all that he is holding and the size of his jersey, just a little too heavy.

    🙂

      My dad’s name is Mark Alan, and he is definitely not a keeping-up-with-the-Joneses type, haha – he’s a 6’6″ cowboy who will not eat at restaurants without his cowboy hat, even though he just has to take it off and set it in its own seat the whole time. 🙂 Thought it was fun that you came up with my dad’s name (except for the spelling!).
