ME GUSTA MUCHO COMO CANTA Y ERES EL NUMERO 1

If we name it after alchol, it should be santa maria, since that wine may have played a part in the whole event........(blush)

Russ, you need to pitch that as a show for either The CW or My Network TV. They'll pound CBS with that sort of stuff.

Parkay "Butter" Latchford ... Private Eye

The condiment idea is pretty neat. How about instead of Parker you go Parsley?

Parsley Sage Latchford.

Ha! Maybe as a variation on Parker we could do Parkay Latchford.

I like the middle names idea.

I think you should go one up on Gwenyth and name your daughter after a spice or condiment instead of a whole food. Paprika or Margerine. I also like the alcohol name idea. Chianti or Merlot would be just lovely.

There's no way I could ever take the place of Tom.

Although I might be a bit better than Daisy.

Of all our chidren's names our favorite is the son we named after my dad's and her dad's middle name: Noal Thomas

Twisted. Seems like you should be in marketing after all.

I just had this idea:

If you're going to name her after one of your sisters turn it into a contest/reality show: Whose Name is it Anyway?

That way, you can turn each of them against each other as they compete for the honor of having their niece named after them.

I bet you could keep this up at least until a month before she's born.

Do you mean like Rogue from X-Men or like Rouge the makeup? I thought we were trying to avoid stripper names.

So here is the other idea - name the girl after someone in the family. Ericha after my brother, Hally after Steph's Dad. I also through out Barnes as a middle name.

I was on the location thing - Sydney Latchford

Now I am starting to like Jolene or Rougue. Rougue Latchford, but you would pronounce it RoooGe

Beck, that conversation was completely fabricated! Anne is actually a very strong name and popular with good reason.

I even considered trying to name her after any of my sisters-- you all have such beautiful names.

I like Parker, although the first time I heard it, it was for a guy, a race car driver named Parker Johnstone. Only years later did my liking for actress Parker Posey develop, and thus, my awareness of it as a female name.

G- g-, good night. G- g-, good night! (very obscure reference to her Party Girl movie).

parker is nice. don't go with anne for a middle name. its too common... and the underconfident thing is really not that fun.

Nice suggestion, Allison, but it really is Italian (as opposed to all other names Vince has vetoed as belonging to someone Italian he might have known in NJ-- there being so few Italians in NJ).

I can't believe we hadn't thought of naming her after an alcoholic beverage before... well, that opens up all kinds of possibilities.

Like Hypnotiq Latchford.

Someone has to keep up with all the trends, Steph.

Brick-House Latchford might work, as long as you're willing to hyphenate it.

Glenolden would work if you were having a boy.

My coworker told me this morning her god-daughter named her baby girl Larah after her father Larry who died. Hey, it's an L name.

Or how about Bacioni (bah-che–o–ne) after one of my favorite Linganore wines? Bacioni Latchford? It means "a big kiss" in Italian.

Ha! I could celebrate the places of my childhood: Wheaton, Parker or Bethesda Latchford are not so bad. Vince is from Brick, so that might now work. Brick "House" Latchford-- for if she really is a Giant Baby Girl.

By the way, I know you're on iVillage every day, John. ;)

Russ Latchford ... Private Eye

Hmmm...according to iVillage, the latest trend seems to be placenames.

So...we're either looking at a Milan Latchford or how about Elysees Latchford?

Naaah. Looks like they speak English officially in Namibia. But their prez is named Hifikepunye. Hifikepunye Pohamba. "Hifi! Stop picking your nose!"

Coco is so last century celebrity. These days it would have to be the name of a fruit or something that meant "love & kindness" in Swahili or Namibian (if such a language exists).

I always pictured you going for the celebrity kid's name. How about Coco? Coco Latchford! That name just rolls off the tongue.

There's always room for an Edna in every family.

Ha! So glad you guys are applying the book to your decision-making!

Oops. It's a girl, I gather. NM :rolleyes:

(Just not Constance)

Zebediah Kennedy ********? I like unusual guy's names. I knew a guy from Rockford named Jan (pronounced "Yahn"). I liked that, but would never name a son that because it would inevitable be pronounced as it sounds by some oddball.

I dunno. I just hope y'all arent in a position to double hyphenate. There's some high school soccer player around here that appeared in a blurb whose last name was something like Jones-DeMarco-Watson. That was the very first time I had ever seen double-hyphenation, and it looked pretty unweildy.
