1. Would it be too late to suggest that Dana would be a good name?

2. I respectfully suggest that no suggestions are taken seriously from a purported concrete contractor who named his children Summer and Autumn.

7. Congrats! Congrats! Congrats! Did I mention congrats?! The best wishes from DRJ’s thread when Madeline Grace was born I still read, and hopefully I will be able to show her when she is old enough.

   Enjoy every moment, Foxfier !

9. And I seem to have completely forgotten my manners: congratulations, Foxfier. I can’t imagine the feelings you must have right now.

15. OK, Autumn was due the first day of autumn, though she decided to stay where it was warm and cozy for an extra two weeks. We were thinking long and hard about names, and agreed on Autumn.

    Well, somehow Mrs Pico became with child again — I’m still not sure how this works — and said child was due in the summer. An ultrasound told us well before birth that our second child would also be a girl, so we weren’t too concerned with boys names. We thought, “No, naming her Summer would be just too, too trite,” and kept thinking about other names, but all along she was referred to as “baby Summer.” No better name came around, so Summer she is!

    Naturally, we were constantly asled, “Where are Winter and Spring?”

    As it happens, Mrs Pico met another woman who had two daughters named Autumn and Summer.

    But, congrats to Foxfier; apparently I was too late with my suggested name!

16. It is traditional among Greeks to name a child after a grandparent. It is also traditional not to name it until the christening. So when “baby” came, for six months I am getting phone calls from the Greeks “what will you name baby?” Heavy hint that it should be after my mother-in-law. Well, it was going to be after my mother. So I would tell them “America”. After it sunk in that I might actually mean it, I start getting different phone calls. “What will you name baby?” “America.” “Well, what’s your mother’s name?” “Antonia.” “That’s a nice name, isn’t it?”

17. Hehe, thank you all– I still don’t know where all that hair came from, I was born bald and Elf was born blond! (we both got better. ;^p)

    I’m afraid all name suggestions are too late– Elf and I came up with a list of six full names before we even got married! Worse yet, Wollf got me thinking on her internet-name almost as soon as I learned she was coming….

    Love the stories, though– since my mom grew up with a lady named Friday, whose mother, Thursday, and grandmother, Wednesday, were still in town and had even held the same job Friday held… *grin* I love collecting interesting naming stories!
