So, if they have 4 kids, they will have to use H and y for each of the names???? No, they will never do that, so they didn't need to bother this time. 

Hailey, Harvey, Henry and Holly? They have some names to play with if they do it. Not alot tho

Harvey Weinstein ruined that name for a lot of people so I imagine a lot of people have a hard time separating it from him. 

Maybe they're Suits fans. . .

The Coveretts are Hallie, Heidi, Hope, Hayden, Hunter, Hazel. 
 

Of course they wouldn’t use Hazel because that’s Josie’s. And Hallie is too close to Hailey. But there are quite a few H names out there. They just might not like them too much.

I like the name Harvey. But not with Hailey. They are too similiar for my taste.

But they could name #3 Harley. It's unisex. Hailey, Harvey and Harley. Reminds me of Huey, Dewey and Louie.

Gray is boring. Not good not bad. Just boring.

"Harvey Gray" sounds like a villainous, mustachioed doctor in the old West who runs a whorehouse on the side.

Like Harvey Dent (two-face) but boring.

On the house tour vlog, Katie really comes across as preferring a finished house rather than one that requires some renovations. Travis, however, seems to prefer the idea of a house to which they can make changes and do a little light renovation. 
I am anticipating them going with Travis’ choice.

I like Hermione. They  could look to Travis musical aspirations and use Harmony 😂😂.

Is it awful that I'm actually starting to like that name? Especially with the context of how they pronounce it.

It's actually not so bad after hearing some of the name tragedeighs out there coupled with khree8tyv spelling.

I was talking with my colleague Jack today. He told me that his sister’s name is Jill, and when they were expecting a little brother, they nicknamed him “Upthehill.”

[Expectopatronus]

When I was in university my lab partner had an aunt and uncle (twins), whose idiotic parents named them Roméo and Juliette. You can probably guess what school was like for them.

DD has a friend Eden with a sister nicknamed Eve.  Dd refers to the brother as Not Adam.  I crack up everytime.  She’s not met the brother, but every story of Eden and Eve’s house includes a mention of it being Not Adams house, too.

I knew siblings Kyle and Kylie.  A few years apart in age.

New video this week.. They meet Lawson's baby and Travis records some songs. The song snippets he played in the video sound lightyears better than anything Lawson ever recorded. Travis had a meeting with a record label. He also mentioned that he leads worship music at their church in Knoxville... the same one Carlin and Josie attend. He does a tree job with Gil in this episode too. Hope he got paid for that!

Imagine what Lawson will think if Travis gets an actual record deal as opposed to paying Andy Leftwich to pretend to like him.

I think Andy actually liked Erin and helping her put together her piano albums. Lawson on the other hand...

Andy likes the money he gets for playing along with the Bateses and their vanity projects. If he actually had respect or interest in either of them professionally, he would have offered them with performance and collaboration opportunities that he has provided to other artists. He was in it for the paycheck and as a favor to Zach.

ETA: Erin's were all vanity projects to protect her reputation and that of her parents for sending her to Crown. They were able to point at her albums and say that she had done great things. Andy probably enjoyed that process more because the expectation was low and he got the opportunity to perform and to produce. With Lawson, the expectation from Lawson was that he was one song away from being a big star. Erin could read music and adjust to the style she wanted to play. Lawson basically writes poetry like a 14 year old and wants credit for writing and arranging. 

Travis sounds phenomenal in comparison to Lawson. However, I sound phenomenal compared to Lawson and I have no skills with music at all. Does Travis have the it factor? I don't know about that. I'm not a fan or consumer of Christian music. To me he's a little too generic white boy, but maybe that sells. 

It looks like to me that someone (a label? producer?) is trying him out to see if they get anything good from some recording sessions and his opening act gig. From my experience in the publishing world (books), this can be very typical. Some agent or startup "discovers" you and says great things while wowing you with meet and greets, fancy dinners, and recording sessions in this case or retreats with famous authors in mine. Then after you have something for them to shop around it can be radio silence if it doesn't attract the right people.

I wasn't done pontificating

Travis and Katie's lease is up in February I think, so they will most likely be out of that apartment before Harvey can even crawl and long before he and Hayley start to actually play together, so I wouldn't obsess like Katie seems to be in their new video. I am certain that they will be in a house by the end of next spring, and it will have most likely  have at least 4 bedrooms.
