  1. The name popped in my head as a consideration two days before he was born. It felt random to me at first but as I pondered the name along with the rest of the list (there was only one other name so far on the list), I realized it’s because I deeply admire a couple of fatherly figures in my life with the name Glenn. And as usual, we wait till we hold our baby and meet them for the first time before officially naming him or her.

  2. This was my husband’s grandfather’s name he passed in 2018. We chose to give him the same exact name making him a II.

  3. I’m wondering if I either have twins in me: (a boy & a girl: An “Elsie Renata Keyes” & a “Glenn Lindy Keyes;” (most of time; my pregnacy feels upper & lower; mostly upper; like I’m having a girl; or I’m having a boy period; (the dehydration parts; Dehydration wise: it seems more like a boy. Beth

  4. I don’t know what to think: looking at my private tonight; I think it’s starting to look like a boy; but upper wise; it seems more like a girl. (It might be twins; a boy (A Glenn Lindy Keyes;) & a girl: “Elsie Renata Keyes“. Beth

  5. I think this link is right; that I am getting ready have a boy. If it is; I’m thinking “Glenn Lindy Keyes” (Glenn’s my friend & minister at New Hope; Lindy’s my Dad’s middle name; who is also a kind friend & used to be a minister);. Beth

  6. Was his grandpa’s name on dad’s side
