Aneshka's useless rants

As of now we don't have a name yet! Someone suggested that we should keep the name american friendly i.e. a name that won't be mispronounced by the Americans. Like her son's name is Joaquin but it is always pronounced as jo-kin which would add further confusion to the kid. I wouldn't want that.

Also, I'm limiting his name to one or two syllables, his family name is quite short and I wouldn't want him to be called "DA-RIA" like Yiek, just because its easier to pronounce and shorter to say than "Fre-de-rick". In highschool I was called "Sint", I'm okay with that as long as they won't call me "Cha-vez". I probably won't respond to "Sint" today, its been more than 10 years since it was last used or it would take me a while to respond and I'd probably assume that the one calling me is one of my schoolmates from high school.

I'm having problems with my name here, they always confuse my family name as my name and it can be tedious to correct. So simple and easy to pronounce names for this guy.

I've enlisted the help of my Mom and Lola, who always think of really wierd names. My mother's name is "O-vi-nia", I am named "Sint-claire" and my brother is named "Al Cas-sey". Really weird names right? I'm forcing my brother to help too who is inclined to Japanese names which I'm not having by the way. He has suggested Kriehg and Kaihl, we will see. Yiek wants to name him "Adrian" but I'm not supportive of that, I know a lot of Adrians so nope that name is scratched off my list. Aiden would have been better but I'm seeing a lot of that too. Funny thing too because when he tried calling him Adrian, baby kicked me hard. maybe as second name? Kreigh Adrian - not bad.

I've set a deadline for this task, end of Nov, we should have a name for our little one. I can't wait to buy for his items! But we are doing that end of Dec to first week of Jan, clearance and sale time and well, maybe my friends would be generous to give me baby items *wink wink*. Don't forget, I'm registered at Babies "R" Us. Hehe.

Also, I'm still quite torn whether we should go for 3D/4D ultrasound or not. It's $99 + tax for one session which includes a a cd of all his pictures, 2 thermal pictures, gender determination (hey the he might be a she ya know so better be sure!) and of course the chance to so his facial features in 3D. $99 is quite steep and hey I can buy a crib for that!
