babynamesI am going to be 33 weeks tomorrow and we haven't decided on a name yet for if the baby is a boy!
I want something kind of traditional and historical-sounding, but still unique. My name is Jennifer so I can't use something boring like that.
So my question is, what do you think about Ainndrue S. Jaxson?
The S is short for Skeletor because that's what we've been calling the baby since we saw an u/s at ~20 weeks and it looked like a skeleton. It's a nickname.
Of course the baby could be a "Skeletorette" but we already have names we like for girls. :)

Date: 2005-11-12 08:52 pm (UTC)How about Andreaux, he can be French. Or Androo, as an ode to Winnie the Pooh's pal Roo. Or Ayndroux since "x"s and "y"s are so cool, it's all about algebra.
Gaw. Gotta be a joke.

Date: 2005-11-12 01:38 pm (UTC)ainndrue is DEFINITELY a bastardized form of andrew, right? i'd avoid that. if you like the sound of traditional names but don't want something very popular -- i'd go with a simple james or jack. if you're trying to be unique atleast get creative, not wordy!
skeletor i can deal with cause that's sort of neat i guess -- but not many people are going to find it interesting like i do.
it's your baby, but ainndrue is too much for me to not be vocal about. good luck ♥ & congrats.

Date: 2005-11-12 10:25 pm (UTC)How do you pronounce that name? If it is a different spelling for Andrew, I have to say I don't see the point in making the same name harder to spell. If it's a different name altogether, I'd have to see the pronunciation key to say what I thought of it.
By traditional do you just mean a name that already exists and not one that's made up?
Flipping through the A section of my nearest baby name book, I have found these:
Alaric
Alastair/Allister
Alois
Amias
Anastasius
Anton
Asa
Ascelin
Asher
Augustin

Date: 2005-11-13 07:02 am (UTC)I think I'm going to just let my cat walk across the keyboard, and name my baby whatever the cat types. By the time my kids start school, that'll probably be the only way they -won't- be made fun of for their name.

Date: 2005-11-13 08:27 am (UTC)I'm waiting to find out for sure from the OP.

Date: 2005-11-13 08:33 am (UTC)Although I AM having my second baby and his/her nickname in utero IS Skeletor. That part is true.
My son's name is Jack so I'm kind of amused that someone commented saying I should go with Jack if I wanted traditional. :)
no subject
Date: 2005-11-13 08:47 am (UTC)I thought so, but the scary part is that it could have been true. I was waiting for some righteous indignation. You know, "OMG WTF its my baby and we want it to be meaningfull, your so rude and it's none of ur bussiness!!!" ;)
I love the name Jack :)
Great post. Too funny.

Date: 2005-11-13 09:00 am (UTC)the name I proposed itself ("Andrew Jackson") is not that bad, but yeah.. sometimes people go overboard trying to "personalise" the names via weird spellings/phonetics/whatever.
And our last name actually starts with an S so there is really no way the kid's initials are going to be "A" "S" "S."
