"Name That Boy" Book Giveaway Contest

You’ve seen the cute boy on the book cover loaded down with activities, right?

If not, here he is:

People frequently ask me if that boy is “The Boy”; that is, my youngest.

I’d like to clear things up here and now:

Nope. He’s not. 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! Take a long look at the boy.

What do you think? What should we name him?

Suggest a name in the comments.

“Not So Fast is a gift to every reader who takes time to slow down and breathe in its pages.” —Lee Strobel, bestselling author of The Case for Christ

  1. 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.

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

  3. shepherdsgrace

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

  4. 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)

  5. 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.

  6. 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.”

  7. 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.

    Shari

  8. 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! 🙂

  9. 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.

    🙂

    1. 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!).
