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

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!

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

AAACK! 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!

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

I know! I was just giving you a hard time!

errrrr, you might want to re-think evan williams.



(i can't tell if that image is going to work since my stupid work internet is blocking it, but http://www.evanwilliams.com)

Did you just link to a porn site cause I got a big stop sign and flagged now probably because I clicked it. Great. I'm getting fired now.

NO!!! and i don't know what's so horribly wrong with it - evan williams is a brand of whiskey. i kept getting ACCESS DENIED when i was searching for pics of a bottle of evan williams. OH TEH HORRAR

LJ - LMAO!!!!

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.

From Edog:

How about Korben Dallas? Of course he would come up with sci fi type names!

Marie, I can't believe your MIL bought De Shaun. Her comment is Priceless!

Do you now understand better what I'm dealing with here???

Wait you can use Eric's first choice of names for Jon...

Sirre Stephen....

Yeah and he wonders why he didn't get to pick

Otis

I used to call my daughter that before she was born.

Marie, can you drop the "s" at the end of Williams and just have William? I mean it's not going to be a last name anyway, right?

Here are some:

Aram
Archibald
Averil
Barclay
Beaumont
Bjorn
Dieter
Dorian
Kumar
Jayden
Leif
Montague
Nolan
Royce
Salvatore
Thaddeus
Winston

I've dated all of these:

Napolean
Shino
Wauca
Solo
Askari
Famous


that should shut her up

But LJ, Xander is an AWESOME name! 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! ) 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.

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.
