The Name Game
Our newest addition (due in Feb 2009) has been officially determined to be of the male gender. We asked a few times to make sure there weren’t any mistakes about it but from looking at the ultrasound it is pretty obvious. Our difficulty at this point is that we have a really tough time thinking of (agreeing on) boy names.
The first time I was pregnant we had a girl named picked out within a few weeks. When we found out it would be a boy it took us almost until he was born to agree on a name. After we finally agreed we had to deal with the wrath of angry family members because his initials were going to be JAR. Yes, he’s a jar. I didn’t think it was that big a deal but apparently I was wrong. Eventually they all got over it - or at least shut up about it.
Now here we are again. Six months along and not a name in sight. Naming a person seems to be a stressful project. Maybe I’ll try working backwards - I’ll pick some initials that spell something annoying and then try to get a name to match. CAR, BAR, CUR, FOR, DOR, . . .
