Ds the traditionalist (baby names)
I like the way your son thinks. I like old traditional names myself.
-- Sue (mom to three girls) JennP wrote in message news:IWnxc.5064$0y.4800@attbi_s03... Well, apparently my ds has inherited my sense of style taste for classic, suble and non-trendy. When we found out we were having a girl, he told me it should be named Emma. I told him I'd put it on the "short list". Yesterday he told me that he also likes Emily and Katherine. He made sure to tell me to "put them on the high list, not the low list". LOL. -- JennP. mom to Matthew 10/11/00 EDD #2 10/24/04 remove "no........spam" to reply |

Ds the traditionalist (baby names)
Emily has become quite trendy lately. It's my grandmother's name, and when
my sister & I were born I think my parents considered it a little fuddy-duddy and old fashioned, but it's right back up there now. It's pretty, but I couldn't talk DH into it, besides this one is getting his grandmother's name as a middle name, and the two wouldn't have gone together.

"Circe" wrote in message news:_1pxc.192$tI2.105@fed1read07... I love all those names. Alas, I think they are way too popular at the moment for me to use them. _Friends_ appears to have boosted the popularity of Emma dramatically--it was the #2 girl's name last year. Oh, I didn't even think of that. But having a popular name yourself, perhaps you don't mind so much the idea of giving your child a name that's popular. Exactly. See above. -- JennP. mom to Matthew 10/11/00 EDD #2 10/24/04 remove "no........spam" to reply |

He was very sure that the baby ate while in my uterus by my breasts squirting milk into my mouth, going down to my belly and to the baby, lol. I had to have the whole umbillical cord/placenta discussion. He's stubborn though. He still *insists* that she's drinking breastmilk in there. -- JennP. mom to Matthew 10/11/00 EDD #2 10/24/04 remove "no........spam" to reply |

"ModernMiko" wrote in message ... I love that name as well as Emma Grace and Elizabeth Grace. Now we have to wait to see if "Flutterbee" is a girl :-) Yep. Emma is the first name he chose. Middle name is Grace no matter what because of dh's deceased grandmother. We want to honor her. I like Elizabeth Grace is very pretty also. Elizabeth is my middle name. -- JennP. mom to Matthew 10/11/00 EDD #2 10/24/04 remove "no........spam" to reply |

See above. Well, ya know, I recognize that a lot of parents clearly choose names that they like regardless of popularity. That's how names get to be "popular" in the first place g. I'm just funny this way and my husband is even funnier--he is *so* difficult to please when it comes to finding names that are both traditional enough and unusual enough to suit him. -- Be well, Barbara Mom to Sin (Vernon, 2), Misery (Aurora, 4), and the Rising Son (Julian, 6) Aurora (in the bathroom with her dad)--"It looks like an elephant, Daddy."

Yes, I remember that thread you started about choosing a possible fourth child's name. So many syllables in one name, so many in the other, ends in certain vowel, etc...lol! My head hurt trying to think of something so I never did. -- JennP. mom to Matthew 10/11/00 EDD #2 10/24/04 remove "no........spam" to reply |

If it's a girl, I am pretty sure we will have it somewhere in the name. If it's a boy, then John or Jonathan will be in there for my dad who is deceased also unfortunately. -- JennL DS 06/26/98 1 tiny angel 11/03 EDD December 4 2004 aka CatnipSlayer @ livin-it-up.net -- Leader of the Cult of Worshippers of BiPolar Long-Haired Sexy Anime Guys with Swords |
