Oh, I finally saw it! Thanks B!
Well, I got some baby names picked out. Jack for a boy and Mae Lynn or Veronica Lynn for a girl. I have no idea for a middle name for a boy, though. Any ideas? I get to find out the sex at the end of April. Then I can start some shopping!
I did also find out that my company has no paid maternity leave, just like a lot of other companies here in the States. So, kinda bummed about that because I'm gonna have to save at least a month's salary before September gets here and I don'e know if that's possible. And probably have to get my next year's vacation advanced as well. Sometimes I wish I lived in Canada!

You also have B'day wishes over in the Womens Room, Red.
Very cute names! I'm not very good at giving name ideas, but Jackson Lyle would be masculine. I love the name Veronica Lynn. Her nickname would be Ronni or Ronni Lynn, and that's just too awesome. So perky and feminine. I was going to name my daughter Jamie Lynn, but she ended up as Lynn Ann. As a baby, everyone called her LynniePoo. I'm so excited for you. We'll be waiting anxiously for the April sonogram for the gender. Take extra special care of yourself, dearheart. I'm really happy for you!!!
I do too! If you say it just right, it sounds like it has an Asian flair to it. Love it!
When I moved into my college apartment we all got envelopes with our keys and the other roommates names written on it.
Both my roomies thought I was chinese before they met me~!
I'm one of those weird people who either love or hate a name. I love Jack and Jackson but they both seem to be very popular. I also love Mae. My grandmother was Ruby Mae.
If by some great catastrophe I became pregnant, I'd probably name my sprog some variation of Mercy, Ruby, Elizabeth or Iris. All are family names. I love-love-love Eleanor but every 3rd kid signing up for Library summer reading was Ellie.
OMG at the bad baby names @ the Library. My Librarian friends and I are always playing this game of what we'd name our children, using the worst summer reading names. Most of our patrons were high-middle class and I was amazed at their choices.
BTW, Enid means soul in Welsh.
If you want to usher in a hell-raiser, I'd suggest these: Eris Discordia, the goddess of chaos, and my favorite Hindu Goddess Kali.
My name in RL is Melanie Anne and I HATE it. My mother named me after Gone With The Wind.
Honest to Gawd, my friends call me Melanoma and my sweetie calls me Napoleonette/ Meanie Tyrant.

Jack Jason sounds very cute - they might call him JJ though b/c of his initials. That would be darling!
Jack Nathan is another one I thought of.
I have 4 daughters and my last one was going to have the same name boy or girl, since she was a girl it is Jamie Rae if she had been a boy would have been Jamie Ray. I always liked Wesley for a boys name though but never got to use it.
I decided when I was 14 if I ever had a kid I would name them Drew Nicolas or Drew Nicolene. Not meant to be.
I was named after my aunt and uncle, Marilyn and Leecester. I hated Lynlee when I was younger because noone could say it right, but now I like the uniqueness of it.

Same here. I named one of mine Austin Lee and there are so many on both sides of the family with Lee as their middle name boys and girls
One thing to take into consideration also are the initials so the child doesn't get teased in school. For example, you wouldn't want a name like Frederick Ulysses Kapersky. I'm a natural redhead, and I got teased mercilessly in school and was called Woody Woodpecker, Rusty and Red on the Head. Also my maiden name is Kehoe, and kids used to call me Doorknob, and some of the meanies called me ...... instead of Kehoe.
Seabrook I wish I would have talked to you before naming my youngest lol he has two middle names and his initials are A.J.P.P. The poor kid I think he gets teased more by cousins than anything. Then there is my son that I have with my ex and being his middle name is Lee and last name is Key people call him leaky. I never even thought about it when I named them but now seeing what they are going through I wish I would have .
