And the winner is...
Balen George Allain
We did a little more research into the meanings of the names and came up with this:
Cade - "Round" or "barrel" in old english, also, "Left by the mother and raised by hand" as in "a cade lamb" (from Merriam-Webster)
not a terribly positive result
Balen - in Latin "Brave"
also, Cade is climbing sharply in popularity according to past censi. Balen isn't even on the list. Michel liked the combination of old and new with Balen George, so when we finished working it through, that's what we decided.
So, welcome to the world, Balen George Allain.
Btw, he's not even a day old and has garnered a pile of laundry. The kid is a virtual sprinkler! Collateral damage is at an all time high with each diaper change. Good poo, good pee, and good gas. If we could harness methane as an alternative fuel, our house would be getting money from the electric company.
More pictures coming shortly!

Love the name. Wonderful to talk to you today. Michel, you sound great (and tired)! I won't say don't push it because I know you will anyway. I spoke to my
Dad this morning before the name was decided - He will be happy to know that George is in the name.
Love to all - Mom
Actually, I did look at what everyone wrote. But like I said, we would ignore it :)
You should see the excel file that we made to narrow down our rather large list of names.
Our only real rules: middle name has to be a name used by a current family member, we have to both like them. I really liked Felix, but Michel said NO. Abigail liked it, too. In fact, I will post the excel file.
