Bates' official name will be:

Bates Martin Choe Brown

We decided to keep the two middle names. Bates will have the option to decide to just keep one keep them both when he gets older.

And we decided Choe over Jeong or Hwan because Bates and Martin are family last names, so we decided to keep Choe (his birth family last name).

So he's a boy with four last names!

Thanks for your voting! We will have a few other votes coming up soon, including paint color for his room.
