Silly Names For Unborn Babies?

[cozyjeans.livejournal.com]

My husband and I are expecting our second child, another girl, at the end of May. Unlike with our first baby, we’ve had one hell of a time coming up with a name. My dad, with his weird sense of humor, got tired of us changing our minds and decided to dub the baby George. We have recently settled on a name, but we’re keeping it under wraps, so George has stuck. It’s also spread. Family and friends all call her George. We don’t mind, we think it’s kind of funny, and we don’t think there will be any trouble transitioning to her actual name when she arrives. So, did you all have any silly or funny names for your babies before they were born? My parents called me Baby Huey. I think that’s kind of cute too, and they didn’t seem to have any trouble transitioning to calling me Jennifer after I arrived. I think their biggest issue was that I was supposed to be Steven. Oops. LOL.

My mom just always imagined she would have boys, so she never even considered the possibility that I would be a girl. When my folks were thinking of names they only thought abut boy names, and I was going to be Willem(Vill-um), so they called me that. Then she had an amnio and found out I was a girl, and they were super confused because they had literally not considered that at all. So I became Wilhelmina, nn Mina. That stuck super hard until right at the end of the pregnancy when they decided my name would be Georgia, but my mom said that they were SO SURE that I would always be called Mina because it was so ingrained.

Needless to say I have zero memories of ever being called Mina, but they do call me George :P

Do you like your name? I love Georgia but my husband vetoed it (along with everything else). Are you glad you're not Wilhelmina/Mina? I am Rosalie but I was almost Guenevere. I think I could be a Gwen but I do like Rosalie a looooot better.
