Sooooo.

Names? Yes. Emily if it's a girl and Alexander if it's a boy. Pretty basic, huh?

I like Emily. I kinda like Alexander too. How about Olexander? Heh, sounds like a character from Asterix and Obelisk.

I think pictures would do.

Okay, you're never allowed to name a child, ever. Jesus fuck, why not just call him Swirlietarget McWedgiepants and be done with it?

Also, inasmuch as it's still up for discussion, but as far as names go - I'm pretty sure every boy growin' up at some point or another wishes his parents had been cool enough to name him Chainsaw.

Come on, you know it's true.

Bucephalus. Bucephalus Ozymandias Rai-Shiney the First.

(But holy crap, seriously -- congratulations and all blessings, y'all two.)

Alexander was actually what I wanted to name our second son but we compromised and it became one of his middle names (Filipino thing, don't ask and no I'm not Filipino my wife is).

You'd be amazed at how quickly either of those things can be accomplished.

B_real is right though parents are invaluable once the baby comes. They're so eager to see their grandchild that they don't care that you work them like slaves when they come over. Just make sure they bring meals with them when they do.

Slight problem. When the child is born, we're probably going to move to a different state. That means I'm half the world away from my own parents (in the UK) and a couple of states away from each of Shiney's parents. I'm pretty screwed. =D

Just find a couple of sufficiently confused old people and tell 'em it's their grandkid. And then shanghai them into slave labor.

I mean really you'd be doing them a favor, if you think about it.

You can borrow my parents if you want. God knows I'm sick of them living within walking distance from me.

And before you think thoughts, I already tried moving once. They followed.

And congratulations. And never let Shiney make any of the decisions. Horrible things will happen if you do.

Am I the only one frightened by the prospect that Shiney is reproducing? I mean, I've talked with him. Lord knows what kind of things he's going to teach to this poor kid, conciously and inadvertantly. Rai, I have the feeling you're gonna have to watch him like a hawk when he's near the child, lest he teach the baby all about buttsex or something.

But seriously, congratulations to the two of you. I'm sure you'll make great parents.

Hey, like I said...

He's spawning.
