This Or That, Plus

If I'm posting these too close together, let me know. This will put three on one page (barely!), but they're all with a day or two between them so....?

[Poll #1551495]

Also, yesterday, I stumbled upon the show 9 By Design. The couple, Robert and Courtney (actual spelling unknown), have six kids with one on the way. Children are as follows:

Wolfgang, nn Wolfie (11)
Bellamy and Tallulah (10)
Breaker (8)
Five and Holleder, nn Holly (3)

The story with Five is that they were referring to the baby as Five when they thought they were having a singleton and it stuck. Five and Holly are both boys.

Names for number 7--if a girl, Liberty Grace --if a boy, Geronimo (wife vetoed), X (wife said he was being silly and that's mean), Major (both liked)
She was going into labor as the episode ended so I guess you find out the name on the next one.

My thoughts:
Wolfgang isn't my style, but it's not awful. Bellamy intruiges me. I think I kind of like it. Tallulah is on my list. Breaker is ridiculous and Five would be fine as a non-name-related nn, but seems a bit cruel to legally reduce your child to a number. I don't like Holleder, but as someone with a weakness for girly nns on boys, I kind of like Holly. Liberty Grace isn't my style, but she could always go by Libby, which I think is cute and anyway, it's nowhere near as bad as some of the names they've already used. I don't like any of the boy's names they discussed.

I love Tiernan. I also love Tierney, although it is one syllable off from tyranny.

I know, right? I'm hoping he was joking about X, but I've only seen the one episode so I don't know what his sense of humor is like. Apparently, the grandmother was trying to get Five's name changed for awhile. They're pretty cool/cute kids though, very savvy.
