my lists

When I was cleaning out a junk drawer today, I came across the lists I made when I was pregnant with my second son and trying to come up with names.

Boys:
August (nn Gus) -this is what he's named
Theodore (nn Theo)
Cormac (possible nn Mac)
Declan

Girls:
Eliza
Eliazabeth (nn Betsy)
Audrey
Louisa
Lydia
Lyra

Middle name suggestions for Theodore!

I thought we weren't going to try for another baby for another year or a little more (I was hoping not more!) but that's changed. Now we're saying as soon as we can move into a 3 bedroom place we'll start trying immediately after. That may still be some months off, but it's a lot quicker than I had expected!

I've been playing around with Henry and Theodore ever since the name combo game. Which is unusual since I usually avoid the more classic names. But I felt maybe some of my boy picks weren't masculine enough. So I started looking in different directions to cover my bases. I am not worried about either of them gaining more popularity. I love them because they're definitely masculine.

I think Henry Theodore is just terrific in that order so I don't need help for Henry. But I would also like to come up with a combo using Theodore as the first name, on the premise we would call him Teddy as a nickname.

I've already considered Theodore Henry, and Theodore Henrik, but I want to see what else we can come up with. So it would be Theodore ______ Gibbons.

Another question: Is Hank the only nickname for Henry or am I missing one?

Robert Downey, Jr. and wife welcomed a baby boy this morning: Exton Elias Downey. Little Exton has an older half-brother named Indio.

If you were a celebrity parent....

Celebrities tend to name their kids some weird names. Sometimes, the names they pick sound like reasonable names,
Example:

So, are there any names on the list you would name your kid? Or what odd/exotic names do you like?

My friend Stephanie Lynn and her husband Eric (no middle), along with older sister Kaylie Lynn (2), have welcomed Tessa Marie.

I really am not a fan of any of the names.  Kaylie doesn't age well to me (most names that end in that -ee noise don't sound right if you add Gramma before them, except old names like Elsie) and Tessa makes me think of Degrassi High: School's Out. (I really hope someone gets that reference....)

Baby name list

Today I got the lovely surprise of discovering that a co-worker that I really don't get along with and I share similar taste in names. A third co-worker is having a baby (due in early May) and there are lots of jokes going around work about names and gender (the parents aren't finding out the gender). I found a list of names written completely seriously and am both amused and concerned by some of the choices.

From this month's Glamour magazine...

I bring you, from this month's Glamour(Page 259), this gem:

Mom: Erika
Dad: Jheudys
Daughter: Jheidelys

I would really, really like to know how to say that little girl's name. Because I have no idea. Pretty sure dad is pronounced like Judas? I think?
