I like the name Jackson – well, I used to. The most horrible child I’ve ever dealt with is named Jackson, and I think he ruined the name for me.

I think part of our problem is that we’re too old – we already have so many prejudices regarding names, know too many people with the name, that it’s hard to see it as a name for a yet-unborn baby.

Or it could just be that we’re completely unable to compromise…

Hank is, seriously, in the running. As a nickname for Henry, which was my grandfather’s middle name, and which I love.

Yep. She’s a bit, ehrm, concerned about weight issues. (read: severely anorexic.) Her kids had some problems as infants – brittle bones, and digestive issues, but they’re healthy adults.

She, on the other hand, is still a wingnut.

Heheeh. My nephew’s name is actually Apollo, so Adonis would fit right in. Of course, his father’s family would likely call him Don in an attempt to gloss over the weirdness of their son’s wife…

m/s is pretty much gone, though it took my appetite with it. Of course, the Heartburn is sticking around, so it acts pretty much the same way. A mouthful of bile is a mouthful of bile, no matter how it gets there…

Not complaining.

Much.

hehehh. I suggested Zeus, since my brother’s children are named Apollo & Athena (Greek wife, they’re actually family names). The boy was not as enamored of the name as I was.

Of course, he also axed my suggestion of Thor, which is a shame. I’d've totally named Sprog ‘Thor’. Maybe if I can send the Boy away from the hospital when they bring ’round the birth certificate…

Mendoza – are you, by chance a Kage Baker fan?

I favour Zeus, Bacchus, Mendoza, or.. Tom.

A full partner…that is a dream come true. I’m glad he’s getting invested. I know how it hurts to have them so withdrawn from it all. Very happy for you.

Yeah!! That is amazing you get to know so early! And I agree about the clothes, everything is related to construction or sports and I don’t understand why the colors have to be so blah. What happened to primary colors? Congrats and how fun to finally know!

As for the name thing…yeah, been there done that. When PB and I agree on a name, it will be a good day to buy a lottery ticket. And boys names we find especially difficult.

You are so lucky! I am glad you are finally gaining weight (comforting thought) and I am so excited to hear the blow by blow accounting of name deciding. Are you starting to lose the m/s blahs yet? I think it took me until 14 weeks, but as you have said, it is weirdly comforting!
