For most of the pregnancy, we didn't really even talk about names. Mostly just the reality of coming to grips with the fact that "this is actually happening." But at the end of the day, we've created a pattern for our kids names and we decided to continue following this pattern.
Finn Edwin Horvath
1. The first names are Irish in origin. Partly because of my maternal extended family history, and partly because we just like the Irish names. Finn is a name with enormous energy and charm, that of the greatest hero of Irish mythology, Finn MacCool (aka Fionn mac Cuumhaill), an intrepid warrior with mystical supernatural powers, noted as well for his wisdom and generosity.
2. The middle name will be from Allison's Family. For Owen, we chose to use Donald Ney, who was Allison's Mom's Father. Molly has the abbreviated middle name of Lin, after Allison's mom, Linda. Finn has the middle name of Allison's Dad's father, Edwin Stapler.

3. And of course, the last name will carry my family name of Horvath. The surname Horvath is a common Hungarian, partly Jewish name for a Croat, derived from the Hungarian word Horvath. They were Slavonic people who settled in what had been the Roman province of Pannonia in the 7th century AD, and who were therefore the southern neighbors of the Magyars when they settled in what is now Hungary in the 10th century.
