Why the name Stockton?

Well, I am asking myself the same question. I think that boy names are rather hard to come up with. To be honest I like more traditional names like Zachary, Steven or Benjamin. I also pondered the names Ryker and Mason. Before Seth and I ever got married I would tease him that he would probably name his child Michael Jordan, John Stockton or even Karl Malone. During this pregnancy we joked a lot about calling the baby Sloan (after Coach Sloan) and we started to joke about calling him Stockton. There was no way I would ever give into that, right? I took a trip to Utah and I joked with family and friends about the name. The name kind of started to stick and that is what I started calling him when he was in my belly. Seth actually became a little hesitant and we both became rather unsure of what to call our baby boy. Well, when I went into labor Seth put up a few names on the dry erase board. Stockton just seemed to be his name.When Stockton was born he wasn't a Steven or a Zachary, he was our baby Stockton. Who would have thought that I would name my son after my husband's favorite NBA player? Not me, that's for sure. Seth is overjoyed about our son's name and I am happy that he is happy.
