Baby baby!!
 
Well, as most of you know by now - I'm expecting my first baby! ...and it's a boy :wub: I just found out last week! My bf and I CANNOT agree on a name though! I am way open to suggestions, I really need them. Please offer some :)

lauren313 10-16-2008 09:59 AM

Congratulations again! I like the names Caleb, Ethan and Finlay for a boy! Good luck choosing!

pinknic38 10-16-2008 10:04 AM

YAY! CONGRATS!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D

for boy names, I love Joel, Aiden (spelled Aidan sometimes too), Landon, Liam, etc. let us know what you guys decide on!!!!!

Diorama 10-16-2008 10:06 AM

wow! joan thats crazy news . Congrats!

I like the name Colby,Keelan and Aubin.

benna2 10-16-2008 10:55 AM

Congrats! I didn't know you were expecting. And a boy, that's great news, a little Tpunk boyfriend for my Izzy!

If Izzy was a boy, we had just one name picked out. We were so sure she was going to be a boy as well, so deciding on a girls name turned out to be a lot harder! We had the name Cohen Tristan picked out.

When are you due?

ScarlotteDorian 10-16-2008 12:48 PM

congratulations joan! that's awesome!

names i'd pick

Boy - Knud (my grandfather's name)
Mateo

Girl - August
Susan

pretty weird or generic, but i thought i'd throw in my two cents. :rolleyes:

joanofarc 10-16-2008 01:28 PM

I'm due February 25 :)

I LOVE the name Mateo, that was one of my first picks - my bf said hell no though. WTF :angry: He keeps picking these really American names and I want something with a lil more flavor! ... we'll see.

HEEYY CONGRATS GIRL!!! :afro:

And yea, I agree, I personally do not like having a boring-azz generic name picked off the same short list. Oh well..

aliz 10-16-2008 02:07 PM

Yay! congratulations!
I have to say I like boring names for boys... William, James, Peter, etc. I think a boy needs a good strong name!
I also love the name Jude though.

joanofarc 10-16-2008 02:14 PM

thanks, voyd :kisscheek: i'm so excited!

i don't know, i dont want anything TOO excentric, but mateo is great, i also like the names duncan, francisco, ezra... he picks stuff like dylan or dominic, :mf_plasmawhore:

seriously, bring on the name suggestions! i'm desperate

joanofarc 10-16-2008 02:17 PM

oh, and not that i'm not completely stoked about this, but technically, it was unplanned -WORD OF WARNING TO ALL PUNKS ON THE BIRTH CONTROL PILL- it really is only 98.5% effective. I took that thing RELIGIOUSLY, didnt miss any pills, same time every day - and still. so be careful ladies & gents, i suggest using the pill AND the pull-out method. sucks, but better safe than potentially sorry :)

Diorama 10-16-2008 07:22 PM

^ It's crazy eh..How one hot sexy moment can change your life.

Well at least your stoked and have accepted it. I think i would be on the floor rocking back and forth in denial.

As for the name thing yah I hate generic michael, tim, brian etc.. names. I currently know about 10 Tim's so I say change it up a bit!!

expatben 10-17-2008 12:57 AM

Congratulations!! For a boy? I like Dylan, James, Jacob or Micheal. If it were me, I would pick a name that is long and formal but can be shortened which gives the kid leway.

Esterina 10-17-2008 12:38 PM

For some reasons, I can't seem to picture your son, "Joan's son", with a well-behaved kinda name... :lol:Won't suggest anything though, because my references are from Quebec. I have no clue what sounds good or bad in english, what is in or out in the US, to me all names are pretty much alike.

When I chose my daughter's name, everyone had an opinion about it before she was born. Some positive, some negative. However, once she arrived in the world, everyone accepted her name as it was. Moral: do not let yourself influenced !

benna2 10-17-2008 12:44 PM

I almost completely agree with you Esther, about everyone accepting the name after the baby is here. You are spot on right about everyone having their opinions before the baby gets here though. I had so many people tell me that they hated the names I had on my lists before Izzy was here. It's like they don't think it's insulting to you since the baby isn't actually HERE yet. ANd for the most part, everyone tells me that they like the name NOW that she is here...BUT for one lady, a stranger in the grocery store, who when Izzy was a week old (and I was seriously hormonal and crying all the time) told me that she was going to hate me when she gets older because of the "stupid nickname I've stuck her with!" Needless to say, I burst into tears on the spot.

Don't let others influence you Joan, like Esther said. The name you pick for your baby is all yours and your bf's choice. I hope you find something awesome.

Oh, also, I remembered two other names we liked. Leland and Rowan

joanofarc 10-17-2008 01:14 PM

thanks everyone for the suggestions! i guess we have to figure something out eventually! :p

space virgin 10-17-2008 01:43 PM

OMG WHY THE HELL DID I NOT KNOW MY BEST TPUNK GIRLFRIEND IS HAVING A BABY?? AM I REALLY THAT OUT OF TOUCH WITH THIS JOINT???

Regardless: Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!! :kisscheek: :bday: :cheers: <-- well, not much of that I guess.

Don't stress about the name just yet, it will come to you in time. -_- Love you!!

MolsonGirl 10-17-2008 01:44 PM

Hey congrats!! I thought I always had my future son's name picked out, Weston, but recently that's been changing. I'm hoping that's a sign of maturity :)

space virgin 10-17-2008 01:45 PM

^Heh, I work at a Westin hotel. :cowboy:
