Update: With 24-48 hours to go...

Hey all,
I’ve been away from these forums for a few weeks now (our two laptops got stolen, so internet access has been less convenient), but I wanted to check back in here to give an update on the naming process since the baby will be entering this world sometime in the next day or two (earlier than expected by almost two weeks). The next post you see from me will (hopefully) be in the ‘birth announcement’ forum sometime in the next few(ish) days.

We’re taking our top two options with us:
[name]Jasper[/name] Ioas [name]Brandt[/name] [name]Luckie[/name]
and
[name]Emrys[/name] [name]Nabil[/name] [name]Brandt[/name] [name]Luckie[/name]
and
[name]Evander[/name], [name]Amias[/name], [name]Aurelio[/name]/[name]Aurelius[/name], [name]Oisin[/name] and [name]Caius[/name] are coming along as ‘just-in-case’ options.

(If it’s a girl, we’ve settled solidly on Mayna Tahirih [name]Rose[/name] [name]Luckie[/name])

Plus, we’re also doing last second reflecting to find any names with the ‘lei’ (lay) or ‘xin’ (sheen) sound in it (my wife really likes those two Chinese characters in a name, as they both have awesome meanings---- the ‘lei’ character in Chinese means something like strong and steadfast, as well as someone who is very just. ‘xin’ means happy.) So, if you know of any other names with either of these sounds in it, let me know, there still is definitely time for some last second additions to our ‘just-in-case’ list.

A solid vote for [name]Emrys[/name]. After all that’s been discussed, I think it’s perfect for you. It’s also a beautiful name. My second and third choices are [name]Amias[/name] and [name]Evander[/name].

You know, I’ve been checking for that announcement everyday the last week, I was sure he was already here. And sure he was a he ;).

I’m still in the [name]Emrys[/name] camp, even though I also love [name]Jasper[/name] for you. You really can’t go wrong with either. Good luck with the delivery and everything!

(And I’m sorry someone stole your laptops! [name]How[/name] rude…)

I vote for [name]Evander[/name]!

I love [name]Jasper[/name] and [name]Evander[/name].
