Wait - does this mean that you're not telling US the name until the peanut is born either? If so, I'm not playing. :huffy

If not, here are my suggestions -

Really Trendy, Celebrity Baby Names (e.g., Moses, Pilot Inspektor)

Girlish-Sounding Names Ensuring Playground Beatdowns (e.g., Dale, Terry)

Ethnic Names (e.g., Leroy, Amir, Pierre, Juan, etc.)

This is fun! :lol

Ooh, you could also do old-school Biblical names (e.g., Hezekiah, Ezekial, Abner, etc.) or really old-fashioned names (e.g., Seamus)

AAACK! :tearhair You guys, nothing is WRONG with the names I just want ones SHE won't like but that are normal so she'll believe us and leave us alone. Honest.

For the record, she replied that it was a "nice" selection of names that sound a lot like the ones the basketball players on tv have - I'm thinking "basketball player" = ethnic sounding for her?

LB, of course I'm telling you guys! :lol

I listed our top choices in another thread a while ago. For a girl we liked Emily Rose and Emily Anne. For a boy I like Mason Evan, he is ok with Evan Williams but isn't sold on anything yet but he knows he hates Mason.

ok I'm going with Scottish baby names here:

Angus
Argyle
Lennox
Malcolm
Nairne
Ogilvy
Uilleam

Then when she asks where you came up with such a name you can tell her your celebrating Jeff's Scottish heritage.

I dunno about Mason . . . it makes me think the kid will be born wearing a fez and wanting to hang out at lodge meetings

Aly, it is just a website for that label of whiskey. Nothing indecent at all.

LJ - I'm cracking up over here. I emailed that to Jeff as further proof that Mason is the better name. :lol

Archibald
Averil
Barclay
Beaumont
Bjorn

But LJ, Xander is an AWESOME name! :lol I'm only half kidding, though as a nickname, not the whole name.

We were talking about alternate boy names (and since at least one of the top two made the lists here, I'm not saying what they are! :huffy ;)) DH decided he likes the name Christopher.

Nice, "normal" name, right?

It is . . . until he let me know that it was so that his kid would be named after Superman. :spit

Marie--

You should just tell your MIL that you were totally in love with the Emily Rose name, so you're going to name your son--

Emil Ross.
