The last name is easy: Ling. Chris is choosing a Chinese or Korean middle name. The first name is to be determined.
I would like a nice-sounding, unique & respectable name for our son. With a last name like Ling, jokes abound. Suggestions to date have included "Ding A.," "Dump," "Dar," "anything starting with the letter B so that his email address at Lewis & Clark could be bling," "Ling like the panda," etc.
Other nice names seems to run into the last name, such as Neal.
We are open to consideration of Irish, Scottish, Hawaiian, Muscogee or family names.
All suggestions are welcome. Also please feel free to add to the list of joke names for our entertainment.

I like the name Robert; however, I also like the name Jospeh because Joseph was the son of Rachel:
Joseph or Yosef (Hebrew: יוֹסֵף, Standard Yosef Tiberian Yôsēp̄, Arabic: يوسف, Yusuf ; "He (The Lord) increases/may add"), is a major figure in the Book of Genesis in the Hebrew Bible (Old Testament). He was Jacob's eleventh son and Rachel's first.[1] He is also mentioned favourably in the Quran.
Joseph, son of Jacob, is one of the best-known figures in the Torah, famous for his coat of many colors (although this may be a mistranslation of the Hebrew word for "sleeves") and his God-given ability to interpret dreams. Due to jealousy, his brothers sold him into slavery. Eventually he worked under the Egyptian official Potiphar, but was freed and became the chief adviser (vizier) to the Egyptian Pharaoh, allegedly during either the Hyksos Era or, according to Kenneth Kitchen, the Middle Kingdom of Egypt. The controversial Egyptologist David Rohl, in his book "Pharaohs and Kings", proposes an alternate chronology for the Old Testament. Dr. Rohl believes that Joseph was vizier during the reign of Pharoah Amenemhat III.[2] Other writers have placed him even earlier, owing to the famous inscription from Upper Egypt mentioning a seven-year famine during the time of Pharaoh Djoser (Third Dynasty).[3] Christian scholars point on Apopi, Thothmes III or Amenophis III as a possible Joseph's Pharaoh.[4]
The shrine called Joseph's Tomb in Nablus/Shechem is traditionally considered to be his tomb.[1]
What about Lawton?! He has so much of the law swirling around him:)
I agree with Spider... I like both Joseph and Jacob especially. I offer a couple more suggestions of names for the handsome-to-be little man:
(And I must credit April, too, for a number of the names below we have brainstormed during Easter weekend... from tombstones near Ward's grave...;)
1) James aka Jamie
2) Alexander aka Alex
3) DAVID
4) Mom said Robert
5) Russell (then he would be a 'rustling in the leaves'... nature bound)
6) Samuel aka Sam
I'm not too keen on Francis, unless you want a lil Frank. Keep in mind that little man can have four names (First, two middles, and the Ling). Thus, Francis could be his second middle name next to Keoung-Fu or what not. I love you bunches. Thanks for the updated pictures. P.S. I just foudn out that my best friend Heather is 11 weeks pregnant and due in November.
When I asked Isabella what her cousin's name should be, she immediately responded, "Ryan."
Followed closely by Palelle and Rinnen (the creative imagination of a four-year-old).
