It didnt take us long to figure out a name for our son, when we were pregnant with Albury we had decided on names, so even before Logan was conceived, he had his name.
We both wanted names that were known, but not common. And we wanted names that meant something to us. Mike is a massive comic book nerd, and one of the things we both bonded over during our relationship was Marvel comics. We both loved X-Men, and our favourite character was Wolverine whose real name is Logan. Instantly we knew that would be our sons name.
When we had the bleeding at 7 weeks, and we had found out that our baby was still alive, we sat in the room saying "If our baby is a boy, his name is perfect, little indestructible baby", and we hummed the X-Men theme song. Very dorky yes.
John was important to us for many reasons, the first being it is my fathers name. He has been such a huge, important part of my life and I couldnt think of a better was of showing how much he meant to me, then naming my son after him. John is also the name of the first Corrigan on Mikes family tree, as well as his best friends middle name.
And now you will have to wait until we have another girl or boy to find out what the names are for them!
