So, my aunt

Chatterbox: Down to Earth

So, my aunt

So, my aunt found out a few months ago that she was pregnant (Which is super exciting! She had a lot of trouble with miscarriages and had a hard time in the past, and finally had a baby almost exactly three years ago. To find out she's having another baby is really amazing!). Today she got an ultrasound and found out she's having a boy. Does anyone have any name suggestions?? She and my mom have been texting all night about names. My aunt said Graham and a few other things (including goofy names, one of which was Despereaux ( like tale of Despereaux) ) My sister told my mom, jokingly, (when she heard Graham) that he should be called Ritz. If she was going to call him after a cracker, it might as well be a good one! My aunt said all right! Chicken in a Biscuit it is! :) :) :) So, anyway, suggestions?? :)

back to the Down to Earth

Aw, Emma, that is super exciting! Our baby (#7) is due in three days, so I understand your excitement! :)

Re: boy names: Well, geekishly, I like Thomas Aquinas, and also Eric/Erik, and Michael, and Isaac.

If we're talking crackers as names... Ritz is good. I also like Club and Saltine, but Triscuit would be my first choice. After all, Club is an odd name. ;)

Tell your aunt I said congratulations! Unless she'd be scared by that... My mom was a little weirded out when I passed along the CB'ers congrats...

But anyway, congratulations to you and your family. We are so happy for you. :)

Thanks! :) I'm really excited! He's due in July, I think my aunt said. *counts months* Yep, end of July, I think! Funny that you would mention the name Eric! That's my dad (my aunt's brother)'s name and my grandpa(my aunt's dad)'s name! I think it would be cool if the baby's first two initials were E.J. Not that I'd want them to be called that, but my dad and grandpa are both Eric John and my cousin is Eli James, so that's three E.G.'s. :) I just think it would be cute. Hmmm. How 'bout this thread can be suggestions or just names you like/want to name your kids if/when you have kids. I like the names Adaline Marie and Emily Rose. My great-grandma's middle name was Adaline and my mom's is Marie and my grandma's name is Emily and my sis' middle name is Rose, so they would be names from my family, and I like them a lot! If I had an Adaline, though, I'd call her Addy. So, what about you guys??

Oh, three EJs would be so cute!

As to future kid's names... Sadly, I adore the name Ursula. And I think it would be so adorable to name a daughter Elphaba and call her Elphie. XD

Spamboy wants to name his child Xufy.

For a girl, I like Alison. Not Allison, or Allyson, or even Alyson. Alison, because that s my moms' name, and her grandmother's name. 

For a boy, I really don't know!

Spammy wants' his/her child to be called Rggy. Rggy, kinda regery. Rergey? ROGR are my cousins initals.
