Why can't I be Anne Boleyn right now? If I were Anne Boleyn, I would have the most prestigious title in the land not to mention the affections of a gluttonous King Henry. Most importantly, I would be producing an heir.
That's right, Little Husband is indeed a Little Husband--we're having a BOY!!!!
I do believe that Husband stood four inches taller as we left the doctor's office this morning. Once in the car Husband turned to me and said, "I don't know if I want to give our son my name after all. I want him to feel like he is his own person, like he's got his own identity."
I must admit, this took the wind out of my sails a little. I really, really like Husband's name. Either way, I immediately decided to resort to trickery in order to get my way (much like Anne Boleyn).
"No problem," I told him, "How about 'River'? I always wanted a son named River!"
"Er...I was thinking something more along the lines of David or Steven." Husband replied, ever the diplomatic one.
"No--too boring (apparently I'm not diplomatic at all). We need something cool, something interesting. How about Colt? Durham? Ireland?" I could tell Husband was horrified as he shook his head "no" at my suggestions.
I intend to keep this tactic up until I get my way...

wooohooooooo!!! you were sooo right! i hope everyone who doubted you remembers to tell you that. :)
can't wait to meet little Joaquin. or Emery. or Basil. or Asher. or Otto. or Zebediah. yeah, one of those names will fit nicely.
YIPEE!!!!!!!!!!!!! BOYS ROCK!!!!!!
you know my littlest didn't have a name for 3 days b/c i wanted to name him michael. not necessarily after hubby but b/c i love the name. he finally gave in. keep it up you can do it!!
i'm so excited!!!!!!!!!!
Ha ha ha!!! I love the tactic! (And congrats btw!!!). Here is some ammo:
1. Obama
2. Rubix (as in cube)
3. Bonjovi (all one word)
4. LeethalWepon (all one word)
5. Tightend (in hopes the little one plays sports due to his name)
6. Hansolo (self explanatory as well as a good name for a kid with his own identity)
7. Lunch Hogie (to keep the Little Husband initials)
8. Boi
9. Zamebuhtdiff (like his father but is different)
10. Bobbaganusche (just cause it's fun to say)
Those are my votes anyway!
hahaha, i vote for Bobbaganusche!!
CONGRATULATIONS!!!!
Go to the dog park. Listen for whatever fills in the blank. "(Whistle).. Come here _____ (Whistle).. Come on _____, it's time to go!!" Then suggest that as a name!
Or, go with Bobbaganusche.
Aww, why not David? I'm kind of partial to that name :O) Speaking of David, you should hear his idea of "good" names for kids, such as Dallas or Silver. Mom's face was a pure look of horror when he mentioned that one time, it was pretty funny.
Look up different foreign names to suggest, specifically along the lines of Chinese names- those are always hard to pronounce!
Hahahaah! I must say that my top three are Boi, Bon Jovi and Bobbaganusche. The dog park idea is a good one too! There's always my little cousin's suggestion of "Fudge" from "Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing".
Hmmm, I vote for famous Texas Longhorn football players ...
* Ricky Earl
* Vince
* Major
* Kwame
etc ...
How about Cedric Benson? I hear he's a real winner...
(For those of you who didn't pick up on it, not so "Anonymous" is really "Husband")
How about a celebrity's kids name? Like "Dweezil" or "Zowie" or "Moxie Crimefighter"? I will say john Travolta named his kid Jett and I knew a little boy named Jett and he was ADORABLE.
Or you could find a first name that is a clever play on your last name.
That is so AWESOME. I am sooo excited about you having a boy. So I was thinking of tough guy names such as "SNAKE, SLASH, OR T-BONE" Those are my picks.
congrats mama. BTW-Had a great time at disney with you guys.
AHHHHH!! I'm so excited for you! You're going to LOVE having a boy! Also love your idea on the names... how about:
1) Keenwah (Like Quinoa, the grain but you have to make it kookier)
2)Jellidonut? Call him Jell?
3)Adonis
4)Maddox
5)Natal
6)Xanadu
Or... my personal favorite:
Tucker Max. Also, his initials would be TMI. Which is kind of funny.
Congrats! That is so exciting. I like the Tucker Max suggestion. TMI initials are sweet.
Or, going with the UT theme, what about Bevo?
I like the name Colt. I think Ireland is more of a girl's name. But there is something kind of slutty about giving a woman a name with "land" in it.
Speaking of which... true story..Seattle named a street car South Lake Union Trolley. They made brochures, posters, etc advertising the new trolley until someone realized the acronym was SLUT. The unofficial slogan for the new streetcar is "Ride the SLUT". Rumor has it the t-shirt sold out on the first day. Officially, they now call it The South Lake Union Streetcar.
Y'all just have to stop with the great name suggestions already! how am I ever going to choose?
For the record, I LOVE Moxie Crimefighter, Jellidonut and the dog park suggestions. T-bone is a good one too...
But there is one that stands out among the others and that name is Bevo. I laughed out loud in my UT Spanish class when I read it! Bevo! Sheer genius!
I can see it now: "Ow! Honey, come here quick--Little Bevo just kicked!" Or, "Honey, Bevo's hungry for some cupcakes. Can you run to the store and get me some?" (thanks again for the awesome ploy, Katie!)
From now on, this baby's name is Bevo!
Until I get my way, that is.
Oh, and BIB your SLUT story was incredibly informative and hilarious. I wish I had one of those shirts!
