Our other boy name

Jen asked if our only boy name was Max. It is not. I did not mention that we DO have a second boy name because we were trying to keep it secret in case anyone else tried to use it. But I'm feeling okay with mentioning it here since someone asked.

Mose
Origin: English
Meaning: Farmer of Beets
Additional Info: Dating back to the 19th century, the name Mose first appears on a birth certificate of the Shrute family. Mose Shrute was a highly successful beet farmer, thus instigating the meaning of the name Mose. In the 20th century, the Shrute family started the first bed and breakfast in the United States.

How sweet would this name be if we were having a boy?

How exactly do your pronounce it? Are you thinking that he would one day become a beet farmer?

OK, ignoring the nice name of Mose but knowing you, i was a bit suspicous when throughout the description of hte origin the "Schrute" family was consistantly mentioned. I'm skeptical because i'm aware that one of your favorite television shows is The Office....

I guess you are having a girl. I was thinking boy so far, but yesterday I changed to girl, so that's what my official guess is.
