Say My Name!

For the past 35 or so weeks we have been asked what we are going to name our Baby.  Some people haven't asked as much as just tell us what our Baby's name is.  The day we found out we were pregnant we started thinking about names that we liked and even had a list on the fridge for a while (too bad none of you thought to look for it).  We checked out a few books from the library and laughed at many of the names and pondered a few of them.  We both have very traditional names and really like the idea of our baby have a traditional name that everyone can spell and pronounce.  Dave and I have listened to everyones' suggestions and have really appreciated the fact that everyone has cared as much as they have.

Here are just a few of the names that Baby has been called:

Giuseppe-Dave and I started off with this name.  It feels funny on the tongue and was just fun to say.

Hermione-Renee decided that baby needed a strong British name and picked this one before we found out Baby was a boy.

Rupert-When I let Renee know that Baby had a penis she quickly said "Well, you clearly checked the wrong box when you put in your order.  Rupert is his new name!"

Megatron-A good strong name.  We are pretty sure nobody would want to mess with a baby named Megatron.  Why not Optimus Prime?  We thought it was too southern of a name-being a double name and all!

Britican-This one came about when I decided that Baby will be half BRITish and half AmerICAN.

Tadpole-Granny Roady came up with this one.  She has also made more than her fair share of suggestions for Baby's name (many of which never made the short list).

Reba-A popular name amongst the gay community.  Uncles Rick, Rob and Marcus have named Baby Reba and Marcus is pulling out all the stops to make sure "Reba" won't get beat up even though his name might be Reba.

We are going to continue to keep Baby's name to ourselves for now, but we cannot confirm nor deny that his name might be featured in one of the following clips:
