I like Emerson (one of Vernon's nicks is "Emerson Bruiser", actually g)
and Elijah. I probably lean towards Emerson, actually, which is a bit odd
for me as Elijah's obviously more "traditional".

Girls:
Hypatia
Ruby

I like Ruby better than Hypatia.

This week's special at the English Language Butcher Shop:
"Loose weight, feel great!" -- fair booth sign

What does it all mean? I have *no* idea. But it's my life and I like it.

My grandfather's name is Elijah Walker, and he goes by Walker. Evidently the
name Elijah was hard to go by, even for a guy born in the early 1900's. I
think it'd be harder today.

That's odd -- I've run into several small Elijahs, and it seems to me with
Biblical names being so common, it shouldn't be any problem. Well, it may be
different where Daye is (Australia, right?), but around where you and I are.

I like lastname-firstnames like Emerson. I also like Elijah (but for me
personally, didn't want the religious association). Not a fan of Magnus
though.

Girls:
Hypatia
Ruby

I'm not sure how to pronounce Hypatia? Ruby is fairly nice I think--I know a
13 year old girl named Ruby (have known her since she was an infant) and for
me that did away with the whole "old lady name" stereotype that a lot of
people may place on it.

Have fun choosing!

Elijah is not an uncommon name, but I am not sure if it is used
very much. I know no Elijahs. Elijah is actually a family name.
It is the name of my DH's great and great-great grandfathers.

I'm not sure how to pronounce Hypatia?

Several people have said this. What's hard about Hypatia? High-pay-sha. How
else would you say it in English?

For those who said they didn't like either girl name, DH and I
added another maybe to the list today -- Emily.

Well the Python crew might just pronounce that "Mango-throated warbler" or
"Luxury yacht". *g*

And there are some who call me ... Tim.

Well, I *love* that name, but it is very very very very very very very common.

Fortunately my daughter doesn't mind :-)

I wouldn't personally name one daughter something really unusual like Jayan and
then name the next one something really common like Emily. It would feel funny
to me. But it is up to you, and certainly they are both nice names and there is
no law.
