Elvish 2 Posted November 23, 2004 Report Share Posted November 23, 2004 Okay, everyone. I felt odd about posting it before - and it was almost like I was keeping a wonderful secret. But I can't restrain myself any longer; I have to share this with my Songfacts family. . . I'm expecting Baby Boy Elvish, my first, in the spring. :: Looks kind of like a monkey/alien creature, doesn't he? Link to post Share on other sites
Jillianne 0 Posted November 23, 2004 Report Share Posted November 23, 2004 Awwwwwwww! Congratulations!!! Omg our first SF baby!! Link to post Share on other sites
Jr_ 0 Posted November 23, 2004 Report Share Posted November 23, 2004 This is no lie, Elvy, as soon as I opened this thread, a pop up came up for baby clothes. Shazam! That's wonderful news. You're going to hear a ton of 'midnight feedings', colic, poop, throw up etc, stories, but I'm going to let you in on a little secret: Those things all happen, but they are one tiny fraction of being a parent. It's the most wonderous, joyful thing you'll ever experience. You're getting ready to experience an entirely different kind of love, one that's going to make you wonder why it doesn't just spill out your ears, you've got so much in you. I'm very happy for you.

DiggsUK 0 Posted November 24, 2004 Report Share Posted November 24, 2004 Congratulations Elvish, you must be chuffed. Its weird when you see the scan isn't it? Like a mini 'Darth Vader' I always think! Whoever described it as 'the beginning of a great adventure' was spot on - there is nothing else as fundamentally life changing in this world as having a child. Sure, there will be tough bits (and tender ones), but at least you will have somebody to put you in a home when your time comes. Take it easy. Regards Link to post Share on other sites
SoulGirl 0 Posted November 24, 2004 Report Share Posted November 24, 2004 that's so exciting! just imagine, all of your songfacts family will be able to share in this experience with you, you'll have to keep us all updated! i can't wait to be a mother... i mean, 7 or 8 years from now at least! congratulations, i'm really happy for you Link to post Share on other sites

MarcM 0 Posted November 24, 2004 Report Share Posted November 24, 2004 Congratulations Elvishockey!!

Addictedtoclassic 1 Posted November 24, 2004 Report Share Posted November 24, 2004 I remember when I first saw my son on the ultra sound. He looked like a big moving blob. It was quite amazing how all those little cells can grow into years of chaos and empty checkbooks! Link to post Share on other sites
miamisammy29 4 Posted November 24, 2004 Report Share Posted November 24, 2004 YES!! I'M GONNA BE AN UNCLE!! Congratulations, Kiddo. Link to post Share on other sites
Jillianne 0 Posted November 24, 2004 Report Share Posted November 24, 2004 Hmm.. Here's to Elvish Junior! So, like the titile says, post names, you think, suitable for her wee baby! :: Link to post Share on other sites
Elvish 2 Posted November 24, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2004 Thanks everyone for the well wishes and advice. I feel like I'm graduating from the Songfacts young 'uns to the exclusive group of Songfacts parents. Anyone care to make up appropriate lyrics to "Pomp & Circumstance?" Uncle MiamiSammy - that has a definite ring to it! Link to post Share on other sites
Addictedtoclassic 1 Posted November 24, 2004 Report Share Posted November 24, 2004 I've always been particular to the name Aaron. Or maybe Songfactus Aerelious. Or Cornelius. Link to post Share on other sites
MuzikTyme 0 Posted November 24, 2004 Report Share Posted November 24, 2004 Jairon (rhymes with Aaron) Marcam (mark 'em) Gabriel (gabe real) Gustice (gust us) Gino (gene oh) So many possibilities... Link to post Share on other sites
Elvish 2 Posted November 24, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2004 I do have a cat named Maximus Decimus Meridius (after the Gladiator) so names ending in "us" would be in keeping with that theme. Of course, my female cat is Lucky Girl - so I guess Elvy Boy would fit with that. :: Aaron is cool. . . maybe Elvish Aaron Oooo - I like your names, Muzik! Link to post Share on other sites
SoulGirl 0 Posted November 24, 2004 Report Share Posted November 24, 2004 do we know the gender yet? i'm very fussy about names actually. whenever i meet someone for the first time and hear their name, the first thing i do (after checking out their shoes ) is think to myself 'hmmm would i call my child that name?'. i change my mind all the time and i reckon i'll never really know for sure til i see my little baby soul boy or girl but here are the names i like at the moment: girls: darcy, emma, katie, elena (ella, ellie, elle) , eve/aoibh, susanne (german name pronounced like suzanna, sanne for short). i also love alot of the biblical names like rebecca, rachel, leah, sarah (i love this name but it's much too common - when i teach dance every second child is called courtney or sarah). and i love alot of irish names like aoibh (above) or aoibheann, roisin, maeve, fionnuala, caoimhe, saoirse, sian, sadhbh, deirdre, doireann, lots more boys: jamie, luke, mark, daniel, david, lots of strong traditional names i love irish boys names like eoin, cian, naoise, ciaran, kevin, diarmuid, danann, colm, aodh, caoimhin, oisin (a bit too d4 tho) also, (and i'm sure you will) consider names from songs you love - jude, layla, angie, sadie... etc etc!! of course the important questions you must ask yourself before decide are: 1) how does this name sound together with your surname? 2) what are the shortened versions of this name as it will inevitably be shortened by friends 3) what will the child's initials spell out - no P.P.s here please! 4) imagine yourself calling the child on a crowded beach - is it a name you'd be embarrassed to shout out continuously (actually i used this argument when naming our dog to stop my brother calling her princess!) you'd swear i didn't have better things to be doing!!

Jillianne 0 Posted November 24, 2004 Report Share Posted November 24, 2004 Okay, names I like..
