Baby Names

Sorry - we're still not telling :) I know my mother-in-law is having a hard time with that, but I didn't cave in.

We have a few names narrowed down, but I'm still curious about new possibilities, so I got on the bump board for baby names. All I can say is that in another few years there are going to be a lot of screwed up children because of their names. And I feel sorry for all the teachers that will have to ask for pronunciation and spelling. Coming from a line of teachers in my family, I think they'd be rolling their eyes and saying shame on those parents. Here are a few that really stood out to me (with some commentary from me in the parentheses):

Xander, Aeriella (too close to areola for me), Braxton (maybe she read up on braxton hicks contractions too much), Calliope (guess it's a foreign thing), Harpo (um, Oprah is kinda using that one), Linkin, Thor,
Trayden and Keld (some scifi character)
Then there is the 'y' fascination - Alyx, Felyx, Wyllyam, Jaymes, Jordyn, Bostyn, Paytyn

I say this in hopes that when we do release the name of our lil one that people may remember some that are so bad, that mine will be a blessing. And so far only one name is not 'normal' but it's popular in other countries. Yep - just keep guessing - you'll find out in March :)
