Thanks to all who voted in our poll. It helped us eliminate some names. All of them, in fact. As Henry Higgins would say, "Your reply will be concise, And she'll listen very nicely, Then go out and do precisely what she wants!"
Landon made good on his threat to use a comic book name. I readily agreed to it, however, after seeing him browse through a list of Star Wars names (Wedge, Dooku, or Dash, anyone?), lunar planet names (Rhea, Triton, or Oberon?), and finally a list of names inspired by the animal kingdom (How about Colt, Bear, or Buck?). So when he took a shine to Wolverine's name in the X-Men comics, I jumped on it. Logan -- suddenly a beautiful name. Even more beautiful is that we are both happy with it. It would be a bonus if he turns out to look like Hugh Jackman.
Landon took Tristan on his first Father and Sons campout this weekend. Tristan came home with mosquito bites and a popped blister, looking like he thoroughly enjoyed himself. He kept saying, "Camping! Daddy! Camping!" Landon shared a bed with Tristan, and only the latter got much sleep.
All of the kids are excited about Logan. Tristan tried to crawl up my dress today in sacrament meeting as he cried, "See baby! See baby!" Joss and Chloe are intrigued by the idea of an umbilical cord turning into a belly button. I put Chloe's hand on my belly last week while Logan was kicking and jabbing. As soon as she felt my belly moving, she jerked her hand away and wiped it on her shirt, as if trying to rub off the strange sensation.

Well, I'm glad you guys could settle on a name. And Logan is a good one! I have a nephew named Logan. Although, some of the other names wouldn't have been too bad either--I have a brother called Buck, another nephew named Fisher (often called Fish), and a friend who just named her 4th boy Dash. Hulk and Thor would have been a stretch. Good luck these next couple weeks.
