New!

[spikedshinizzle.livejournal.com]

Hi everyone! I'm new here. I just found out that I'm 6.5 weeks pregnant, and my husband and I have had names picked out for months now. We've decided to go with names that are important to us. For instance, should I have a girl [which is what i'm hoping], she will be Lynda Guadalupe, named after both of our grandmothers. Should this baby be a boy, he will be John Gonzalo, for both of our dads. The problem will be, though, if we have more kids, it'll be hard to pick names. Well, then. I guess that's it. Anyone have any suggestions?

What if you are carrying twins?

Yes, that would create a situation, but I don't think that's the case. Twins don't run in either of our families, and I had an ultrasound on Tuesday, and there was only one heartbeat.

You could always give them different variations of the names. Like John could be Sean, which is John in Irish I believe. After Lynda you could use Lindsey which sort of sounds like Lynda but is still different.

Are there other family names you could use; Aunts, Uncles, Brothers, Sisters etc?

Yeah, that's what my mom was saying. She suggested Lyndia, which would incorporate her name, my grandma's name, and mine. And we were thinking about Juan for a boy, since my husband is Mexican.

I'm sure there are. He has lots of family. Tons of cousins and brothers and aunts and uncles. So, it's quite the possibility. But, I hadn't thought of that. Thanks! ;D

Well that's good to know, it's so comforting to have an ultrasound so you can not have that big surprise at the end. :-) There's no twins on either side of the family either, but it could still happen. the odds are lower though. I'm glad to see you here on the board. Welcome.

Thanks so much. I'd kind of like to have twins, though... Get it over with at once. ;D My husband's quite a bit older than I am, and we'd like to have two children, so there you go. But, unfortunately, it's just one baby. That's probably better, since neither of us have any other kids. Get some practice first.
