while my wife was pregnant and before we knew what we were having, one of the boys name we strongly considered was Tanner. we had a really, really difficult time trying to decide on a boys name because of me being a teacher - it was too easy to associate different kids with different names, and neither of us wanted to think of some troublemaker every time we mentioned our kids' name. We automatically decided we would not use any boys name that began with the letter "J" (john, jordan, jonathan, jason, etc.). nothing but trouble in that group.
