Name Predictions for Keyes-Bates #1

**I had already typed up this draft (except for the introduction) before Nathan and Esther had the joint sex-name reveal on June 19. I am still choosing to publish it, even though they have now announced the baby, their daughter, will be named Kenna Joy.

On May 8, 2022, (Mothers’ Day) Nathan and Esther Bates announced they were expecting their first child. Their announcement also joined Tori and Bobby Smith (prediction here) and John David and Abbie Duggar. On June 18, 2022, Nathan and Esther announced the sex of the baby to friends and family. They announced that the baby was a girl to the public on June 19, 2022 (Fathers’ Day). Because this is the couple’s first child, it presents a unique challenge in that I don’t have any previous naming examples to look at! Consequently, this prediction is based on intuition, assumptions, and vibes alone.

Previous Naming Information

As for previous naming information... we have pretty much nothing. The only thing we really have to go off of is the parents’ names: Kenneth Nathaniel “Nathan” Bates and Esther Joy Keyes Bates. If they were having a boy, I might predict a little Nathan Jr. but that isn’t nearly as common for girls. It is very possible that Esther may pass down her first or middle name to her daughter. This is fairly common within the Bates family (see Zoey Joy Webster, Brooklyn Elise Paine, and Khloe Eileen Bates).

Preliminary Predictions

I could totally see Nathan and Esther using the type of super trendy girls’ name that I absolutely hate. Something with a unique spelling that won’t fit well on an adult and will sound outdated in 20 years, like Kinsleigh or Oaklee paired with a Biblical middle name like Esther or Ruth. I could also see them using a really basic first name that’s been top 20 for years, like Emma or Mia.

Alternatively, maybe they will choose a feminine name similar to Nathan’s name to honor him, like Kennedy/Kennedee or Natalie/Natalee. They might also use a variant of Ann, Esther’s mother’s middle name. And this might be a stretch, but perhaps Elizabeth since they got married in Elizabethtown, Pennsylvania.

My Final Predictions

Having an official guess is really difficult given so little background information! The only thing I am confident in is that the middle name will likely be Esther or Joy, probably Joy. I usually don’t like to predict names that have already been used within the Bates family since to date there hasn’t been any overlap, but I think it makes sense in this case. I’m going to just throw out a bunch of first names that seem like they could fit for Nathan and Esther, although I have no idea if I'll be close.

Kinsley Joy

Mary Esther

Kennedy Elizabeth

Natalie Joy

Annalise/Annie Joy

Nevaeh Joy

Mia Esther

Luna Joy

Paisley Ann

Kylie Faith

Isabella Joy

Avery Joy

Lemon Sky “Dos” 2016. Silver and gold splatter on translucent yellow vinyl. Lemon Sky is a five-piece modern psych-prog rock band from Cincinnati - I hadn’t heard of them before this past weekend when I saw them play with fellow-Cincinattians Suck the Honey at a hole-in-the-wall tavern in Beaver Dam, WI. By the end of the show I was lining up to pick up some vinyl and oh boy, is it psychedelically pretty! Even the cover has trippy elements; designed and printed by vocal/guitarist Aaron Madrigal, the back has a cool imprint that when lit by black light, comes to life.

From their Facebook page “a heavy yet highly-melodic brand of psychedelic garage rock that combines the classic rock pomp and stomp of Led Zeppelin with the paisley pop melodies and modern musicality of Queens of the Stone Age for a forward-thinking sound rooted in the past. The band's signature three-guitar attack consists of vocalist Aaron Madrigal, lead guitarist Ed Bruker, and noise machine Eric Cronstein while the he foundation of the the group is laid down by drummer Eric Keyes and bassist Steven Korfhagen. This pairing of instrumentation allows Lemon Sky's live show to recreate and expand upon their recorded material with visceral textures, tonal layers, and rhythmic intricacies. A Lemon Sky show is nothing if not full, heavy, and intense.”

Yes to all of this. The show was pure joy to watch - there were times when their toes, choreographed in unison, reached out to touch the amazing expanse of foot pedals.

Lemon Sky’s drummer, Eric Keyes, was particularly expressive as he thrashed away, providing power that could easily fill a stadium.

I wasn’t familiar with Lemon Sky’s catalog prior to this show but I definitely remember a few songs they played that appear on Dos, the Halloween-ish “Ash and Bone,” the excellent “Guillotine” (the intro reminiscent of Zeppelin’s “D’Yer Mak’er”) and the absolute killer track “Kept in Beyond” which is an epic psychedelic hard-rock thrasher that brought to mind Zeppelin’s “The Crunge” but -- I like it better! (Here is an acoustic version of “Kept In the Beyond” which is also amazing.) Strains of the more trippy aspects of the Beach Boys peak through in the harmonies on tracks like “Dos” and “Bad Bad” (though way heavier than the Beach Boys). I hope Lemon Sky ventures back to Wisconsin soon, hopefully to somewhere less remote.
