when is the baby due? Is it a boy are a girl

Ekaterina- I am going to reitirate what other posters have said: HE did NOT name the girls! His EX-WIFE named them! Therefore HE did not name them after himself! It was his EX-WIFE that named them after him (and, for the record, after her as well).

All of that said, while I do think kids shouldn’t have their first names be the same as one of their parents’ names (it creates confusion, for one thing, and, IMO, a kid should have his/her own identity), I don’t see anything wrong with naming kids after family members (including doing as Clay and his ex-wife did and having one of the parents’ names be only part of the kid’s first name).

My middle name, for example, was also my great-grandmother’s name. She had quite a few kids, all but two of those kids had kids, and most of THOSE kids had kids. Of her many grandchildren and great-grandchildren, none of them had been given her name in any way shape, or form. When I was born and my parents decided to give me her name for my middle name, my great-grandmother was absolutly thrilled!

She was very lucky my parents did decide to give me her name as my middle name, as she more than likely wouldn’t have had the chance to meet any future great-grandchildren that might have been given that name (none of them did get that name, to my knowledge). She died just a few years after I was born. I find it very touching that my parents chose to honor her in that way.

Also, my brother’s middle name is the same as my dad’s first name….and my dad is one of the LEAST egotistical guys you’d ever meet!

MaClay and ClayAnne??? hmmm..I see a theme….

Back to my previous comment, I have met Jessica briefly and I read that she didn’t want kids. I may have misunderstood (and I didn’t mean it in a bad way– it was just badly worded), but I have nothing but good things to say about her. She was very sweet when I met her and I’m glad that she and Clay are starting a family together and that Clay is getting his son– whether he is named after Clay, or not.

I wish them nothing but the best– they are a cute couple and I can’t wait to hear about the arrival of Baby Boy Walker. I’m a big fan of Clay’s.

Wow. Those are some yooneek names/spellings. lol. I understand the sentiment behind his daughters’ name but quite frankly…here’s hoping his second wife Jessica breaks the tradition altogether.

It is indeed cocky, and it’s also got a bit of a Y overdose.

There should really be a law to keep this under control.

I love Clay Walker. He’s a great guy. I hope he does name his son Ernest Clayton Walker III. They can call him Trey or Trip. So cute and southern =)

Before posting I think its important to read Mtoo and Loralie’s comments.

My sister in law was named after her mother and aunt. My father in law named her.

My mother in law was diagnosed with MS in the early 1990′s. By the time my husband was a senior in High School she was in a wheel chair. When my husband and I met she had an operation to correct a birth defect on her heart. The meds they used caused her kidney’s to fail and she had to undergo Dialysis 3x a week. She also started getting pressure problems because she was either in the wheel chair or in bed.

She wanted so much to be a grandmother. Everyday she’d tell me how much she wanted to be a grandmother. We started Trying as soon as we got married but two years later nothing. So we decided to try to adopt. We found and fell in love with two little girls who were sisters, we started the adoption process knowing that the judge might return them to their mom (she was fighting to get them back) 9 months into it we learned the judge ruled in her favor. That was in February.

My mother in law was in and out of the hospital from Nov. through May 8th and only had been home for 20 days that entire time. May 8th she died at 56. Mother’s day was so difficult because we had just lost her and her wake was planned for that day.

We plan on naming our 2nd daughter after her Marissa Lauren and our first son Matthew James in her honor.

My cousin is friends with his daughter Skylar and my Aunt says that they are very nice. I wish them all the happiness.

Congrats to the happy couple! Looking forward to hearing the name. I hope by guessing the following, that I will jinx these names. Claymison, Claynard, Claymond, JeClay, ClayJay, Pat Clayjack, hehe.
