I was debating whether or not to mention it but I suck at keeping secrets :wah:

I'm expecting another baby at the end of May. :yh_party

It's been a long time but I think I remember how to do it.

Nothing that sounds like the name of a pet :wah:

Don't know if it's a boy or girl yet. Started with boy names and the current favourite is Noah but I'm not satisfied that I've thought of enough names.

Haven't started on girl names yet.

Congratulations

you know being pregnant and labor and delivery is like riding a bike you never forget how hehehe

I hope you are feeling well and it continues till baby arrives.

Minks has a kind of playfulness to it for a girls name.

Noah is a very nice name btw.

Brad seems to be popular lately, just ask Jimbo.

I wouldn't go for Wise Guy, he'd have to answer too many questions.

Oliver is running a close second to Noah.

Some good ideas already. I'll have to make a new list. There are a few already that I hadn't come across on the multitude of name sites.

Just to let you know: Bronwyn/Bronwen is Welsh, not Irish.

Before my son was born, the top choice was Aragorn Trollslayer, which is a perfectly beautiful name, which I sadly didn't use and which you may borrow if you like.

Before my daughter was born the top choice was Chiquita Banana, and as you seem to have a banana craving I think that would be a perfectly fine choice.

Other boy's names I liked were: Merlin, Tiberius and Trevellyan. :-4

Other girl's names I liked were: Savannah, Cheyenne and Marina. :-4

Congratulations on your pregnancy Koan, I hope all goes well and I wish you all the very best with this new addition to your family.

When are you due?

Surely it's what they did on the coach ride down there that's "common" :wah:

Damn - I've just read the post properly and it's Zennor. I'd read it as Zennon - ignore me, muddled as usual
