I am looking forward to see how each of them grow over the tour to come and as for the name maybe they going old school and letting the sound guys name the new songs they are testing out since is this tour they are spending this tour celebrating 25 years together.

i don't think the time off is due to dave having another kid. they announced taking 2017 off in late january, so if it was because of ashley having a baby, they would have had to have known by the time of the announcement. that would mean she would already be like 4 months pregnant and due around october. back in 07 when dave's son was born, he was due towards the start of a traditional summer tour and they just moved the tour back two months. i can't see them taking a year off from touring because of a child that was born 6 months before the tour would even start when they didn't do that when a child was born during what would have normally been tour time.
i think the time off is more "holy shit, we've been doing this for 25 years in a row. we're pretty fucking old now and never spent a summer with our families. lets take one off so we can enjoy a summer, and we can finish up the album during that time."
