Jill, you are hysterical! Nice chatting with ya!

Everyone else, yes please start suggesting names... the rules are:

*It has to be an "interesting" name
*It has to be unusual (read: not common)
*It cannot begin with the letters C, T, K, S, or P
*It has to be at least two syllables
*If you're also suggesting a middle name, you must yell it really loudly and see if it would sound good being yelled down the street come dinnertime

Oh, and if it's an Irish or Chippewa name, those are pluses.

Oh and if you want to see new pictures, they're here:
Baby v6.0

They're the two "Orbits" pics and the "Boy" pic.

My daughter will be officially jealous. She is the proud Mother of five girls and NO boys. I was more democratic. I had in this order...... boy, girl, boy, girl, boy. I figured that I would stop because the next would be a girl and I didn't want to go there again!

Congratulations on the easier choice for a teenage child!

Awwww congratulations I know how thrilled you must be by how excited my own mother was after having a son then 4 daughters and then to have another boy 16 years after her first born son.... of course, she constantly reminded us she had always wanted a family of boys I myself stopped at one of each

If it is Irish names...I love Hubby's name Patrick Michael. I have an ancestor who was named Fletcher, I like that name, but Hubby wanted Irish names for our boys. We have a grandson named Jabe....I think he was named after a rock star in the 80's.....Fletcher Jabe doesn't sound too common, does it? Another grandson is Ian....Ian Fletcher is a nice yelling name.

Peter, unfortunately those are both too usual for around here... Thanks and keep the names coming.

Penny, I can't use Patrick because it starts with a P. My daughter is Patricia Jean (PJ). Michael is a name that I don't do well with. It reminds me of my ex-husband and a different ex-boyfriend...come to think of it, Michael is Troy's middle name!

Ian and Fletcher are both nice names, I'll add them to the list!

It's so funny you say that, Jason. Ever since I found out I was pregnant I've been drawn to the name Declan. I never thought I'd get the chance to use it, since I figured this baby was a girl, but I've revisited it now. The only problem with it? DEC-LAN. Troy says that DEC didn't do LAN...what a geek! The other spelling is interesting though. Thanks!

I love the name "Aiden." How about "Aiden Seth" or "Aiden Daniel?" I have a good friend who named her son "Keagan Riley" which also has a good ring to it. There's also "Liam" or "Finn," if you're into the Hollywood names.

Congratulations, Rikki. I have always liked the name 'Hunter'. It is unique and, needless to say, quite masculine. I have one son. He told us at a very young age that he didn't want any siblings. He liked being the only child. I often wonder why I ever listened to him
