The name game

We have started considering names for Baby X, and Kristin and I often find ourselves on opposite sides of the spectrum. So far, top contenders are Francis Xavier (or FX) named after my great grandfather if it's a boy, and Annie in some form for a girl. I really like Jasper for a boy, but I think Kristin would rather divorce me than to have a boy named Jasper (divorce may be too harsh, but she would really really not want that name.) I also like Alan, or Allen. Kristin likes Oliver. Our challenge is to come up with something as hip as Mojo so the little being is not overshadowed by big sis. The monumental task will be lessened by 50% come next Friday when we have the ultrasound. For the time being, if you would like to submit boy and girl names for consideration, we will post all the options and open the forum for comments. It may not do anything but create great fun.

Thank you, Kris for going to see Gpa. All of our silly names aside. We seriously think Daniel is a nice name. Dan Lally?????? Pat likes Daniel Patrick Lally!

I like Magenta for a girl and Angus for a boy.

How about Adrian for a boy and Adrianne for a girl? Adrianne could easily be nicked to Annie and Ade for a boy. Honest Ade! has a ring to it! Adrian Lally sounds like a noble name. President Adrian Lally, good strong name!

I like Adrian. Not that we won't consider Angus as well. Thanks for your input.

I went to grad school with a guy who named his kid Angus. That kid doesn't have a chance... Sorry.

How about Colleen Christine or CeeCee.
or Doris Dolwick Lally-- DODO.

I like the idea of calling the second born child "John Michael"
