To know or not to know? - that is the question

Congrats Tony & Missus Tony.

Thanks Guys!

Let the great naming debate begin! (would I have to register at Nominet? )

Adam is no.1 choice so far...

[Dogbert]

Adam Andrews. . .

Sounds cool, certainly not a name that'll get you beaten or harassed at school for.

Good choice

Well, I envy you a bit. Being a single, out of society, wild and free guy it's not the best to have child...

To be honest -if I do not consider my motorcycle- I neither have a girl to have child with...

If I didn't say it before, congratulations. When me and my wife had our daughter, we both wanted to know. During the ultra sound, they weren't able to tell.

Everyone expected a boy.

About three weeks before she delivered, we needed to have the baby turned because the head was still pointing up. They asked us since we didn't know yet if we wanted them to tell us because at roughly 8 1/2 months they would almost for sure be able to tell. We decided with only 3 weeks left we'd keep it as a surprise.

After that I was worried that I may not be as happy if it's a girl because everyone had decided it would probably be a boy.

In any case, it was a girl and I could say beyond a shadow of a doubt, I couldn't have been any happier.



Wait for it. Don't find out. It makes it that much more special.

[Strahd]

Alrighty then.

Perhaps I should have read the entire thread pefore posting

Incase we had had a boy we had decided on Tyler. Really like that name myself.

Many congrats on another boy Tony, hope it all continues to go well. But if they did get it wrong, We haven't regretted Charlotte (now 8 months) at all. And Tomas (7) dotes over her in a way I can't believe he'd do to a brother.
All the best,

Dave

Thanks again for all the good wishes.

Dave - I've seen the 'bits' for myself, so I don't think there's much chance of a mistake. I think mistakes are more likely the other way around. It's a good job it's not a girl as the only name I had was 'Placenta'

Thankfully Luke was ok with the idea of a brother - he had wanted a sister, but the idea of 'being like my cousins Mathew & Steven' seemed to go down well

Just 19 1/2 weeks to choose a name!

Cheers Guys

Tony.

How about Joseph Andrews?

[Fat Tone]

"In Joseph Andrews (1742), Fielding's first novel, footboy Joseph loses his place when he rejects Lady Booby's advances, commencing a comic odyssey of robbery, poverty, and sexual viciousness. Also included is Shamela (1741), a shorter work, which extends the parody of Samuel Richardson's immensely successful Pamela (1740) begun in Joseph Andrews. "

Rejecting Lady Booby? No male in my family has ever done that

http://forums.murc.ws/showthread.php?s=&threadid=33639 should help. Adam & George look like good choices

[Strahd]

Don't pick Joel.
