I really like the name Casper. I went to high school (graduated in 2002) with a kid named Kasper, and I never heard of anyone teasing him about his name. He often went by KC for his initials, but it...

I do worry that Liam and Aaron might sound too similar. I'm drawn to names with the same soft sound as Liam (I love the name Ian but it sounds way too close to Liam). I'm hoping that Aaron is...

I was going to say that I like Louis better, but I just looked up the singer PP mentioned and now I think Leonie and Louis would sound too close to Leona Lewis. I've never heard of her before (but...

Emmabobemma, thanks for mentioning that you feel you hear the name a lot. I've never met a Milo (I live in the midwest), but my Liam was born in 2008 and I didn't know any, and now I feel like I run...

I have heard of the drink, though the association doesn't bother me. Thanks for mentioning it though! I appreciate the advice.

I love the name Milo, but Aaron is my husband's favorite (of names I've suggested to him -- he doesn't come up with any on his own). Since this is our third child, I'm finding it hard to come up with...

I wouldn't use it myself, but I kind of like Xopher. It reminds me of Topher Grace from That '70's Show.

A company called Racine Danish Kringles is really popular in Wisconsin. It's almost as common for someone to bring Kringle to an office meeting as it is donuts or bagels! Mmmmm.

I'm not usually...

I like it. My only association is Penn the magician as I've never met one in real life. I agree with kkwily on Penn being refreshing with all the Finns out there.

I had "natural" hospital births with both of my kids. I had a doula both times and I felt that she was helpful in avoiding pitocin or intervention by keeping labor moving naturally, suggesting...

My first was 4 days early and second 8 days early. I'm hoping my third is about the same as #2, because 10 days early is Thanksgiving Day, and I'd like to enjoy my turkey and pie. If this baby comes...

I already commented, but you mentioned not using second-hand pumps because of sterilization problems. I've heard this too, but I've also heard that hospital rental pumps are made differently (higher...

I only used a manual hand-held pump (Medela -- I liked it), but I'm a stay-at-home-mom so I nursed and didn't need to use the pump often. If I was planning to return to work, I'd want an electric...

My dad wanted to name me Anastasia Katerina. I was named Katherine Joan after my grandmas instead.

I've had two kids without epidurals. I had a doula both times, which did help because she offered suggestions on different positions to labor in (though I don't think a doula is necessary if the...

My son's name is Liam and I love the name Miles with it (my husband won't go for it because Miles is his boss' son's name). I also really like Max with Liam, and Kirk probably comes in third for me....

My great grandpa came to the U.S. from Austria in 1882 and his name was August. My great grandpa on the other side (born in the U.S. with German immigrant parents) was Gerhard. His father was...

I'm not going to help much, but I have a son named Liam and I thought Willa would be a pretty name for a girl, then realized that saying Willia and Liam together sounds like William with a stutter....

I like the sound of Kenzie and Grant. For a girl, maybe Skye, Isla, or Fiona? I think a Scottish name would sound good.

Last week I posted about girl names and I got a lot of great responses, so I'm hoping you all have some great suggestions if baby is a boy. We're sure we want to use Joseph for the middle name, but...

I have gone to church all my life and I know the story of Samson and Delilah, and I think it would be fine to use. I would assume that the pastor knows what he's doing and likes the name anyway. I...

If Indiana Jones can be cool guy, I don't see why Michigan can't. My inlaws live in Michigan so we visit the state often -- it's a lovely place.

Eek, I can see how that name could be difficult. I don't think "I own a..." sounds odd with our last name. But thank you for the warning!

I love Frederick NN Rick. It's on my short list for boys. I don't know if it's Nathan Fillion's character Rick (Richard) Castle on "Castle", but Rick has become a very handsome name in my mind.

We found out with the first and I'm glad we did because early motherhood held enough "surprises" that knowing it was a boy eliminated one big stressful surprise for me. With the second we didn't find...
