"Name That Boy" Poll

A lot of really great names were proposed (with a few repeats). Some were sweet little boy names, some were symbolic, and a few sounded like names that the little boy inherited from a high-achieving great-grandpa.After a grueling evaluation, I narrowed them down to just a few.By the way, a friend dipped into his creative juices to come up with (among others) Loaded-Down Logan, Swamped Skyler, Stressed Sammy, and Tied-Up Trevor. His family already has two copies of book, however, so he asked to be left out of the poll. Another suggestion that wasn’t submitted in time was from my friend Bill who suggested “Bill” because the boy will eventually have to “pay” for his busyness in one way or another.I’ve never used the poll feature on WordPress before, so if it doesn’t work, please let me know. I’ll figure out a plan B.Here’s how it will work:Vote once for the name you think best fits the boy on the cover of Not So Fast (see below for one last look).Voting will stay open until 9:00 (EDT) Saturday morning, August 8.

The person who suggested the name that gains the most votes will win a copy of the book.NOTE: If the name that wins the vote was suggested by more than one person, I’ll do another random drawing between the two or three (or more) who suggested it.Ready?Name that boy![polldaddy poll=1835741]

    HA! Great names to choose from! Had to go with one of the clever ones…

    I’m offering your book on my blog as a prize for this month. I am so very proud to be a teeny part of your amazing book. I started reading it and absolutely love it. You have a way of writing that is encouraging, friendly, honest and challenging. Not an easy feat…great job.
