Name Our Baby Please

Posted in: Learning

For those of you who don’t know, Ria is pregnant.  That’s all we know at this point.  She has her first doctor’s appointment on the 18th, I think.  Wow, I feel horrible not knowing for sure..LOL  Anyway, we’ll get the details later, but WE WANT YOU TO NAME HIM or HER.

you-choose

Ria actually had this idea:  This is technically “OUR” blog, but as most of you know, Ria isn’t into blogging much.  So, she came up with this:  I have some boy and girl names I like….She has some that she likes.  I’m going to list 5 boy and 5 girl names in this post and I’ll share it with my Facebook and Yahoo peeps too.  Ria will do the same with her Facebook and MySpace peeps.  If you get this from both of us, that’s ok becuase our lists are not the same.  Just pick your favorite names from each of us.

She will do things her way with her folks, but if you’ve received this from me, here’s the deal:  Please pick ONE BOY name and ONE GIRL name from the lists and leave it as a comment. Now, that is always a problem on this ole blog for some reason.  Every time I ask for a comment, I get 30 emails and 2 comments…LOL  So, if you’re reading this from Facebook or another site or email, come HERE and leave your picks as a comment.  Everyone is welcome, so if you’ve stumbled upon this blog for whatever reason, #1 WELCOME, #2 leave your picks:-P.  At some point we’ll figure out the sex of the baby and we’ll do this again.

Now then, for you newbies, we have 2 kids and their names may matter to some of you as part of your decision making (we’re only doing first names here, btw).  They are Gabriel and Chaya (KY-UH).  Here we go….Oh and for those of you who RARELY EVER comment, make an exception here, will ya?

MY BOY NAMES: In no particular order.  And before you ask, yes, I know what each of these names mean:-).  Is it obvious that I’m taking a course on the Book of Genesis right now?:-)

  • Ezekiel
  • Benjamin
  • Jacob
  • Isaac
  • Elijah

MY GIRL NAMES:

  • Rachel
  • Leah
  • Bailey
  • Morgan
  • Lailah

To check out Ria’s picks go HERE or HERE. That’s actually her Facebook and MySpace pages and you’ll have to wait until later today for her post to go up,  but I’m sure you’ll figure it out:-).

Alright, your turn….Lemme have it! Thanks in advance!

    • http://intensedebate.com/people/Pastor_T Pastor_T

  • http://jillvictoria.site90.com Jill Victoria

    Jacob and Leah are my picks. Two names I have actually considered myself.

    • http://intensedebate.com/people/Pastor_T Pastor_T

      Hey, I could make the in-laws mad and go with ya!! We'll see, I guess :-)

  • mom

    Toby we have a rachel and leah already they belong to unca bob. I think lailah and elijah are both fitting.

    • http://intensedebate.com/people/Pastor_T Pastor_T

      I don't think we'll have a hard time telling the two Rachel's or Leah's apart though, but I like your choices as well :-) .

  • Cindi

    I pick Jacob and Rachel.

  • Angie Stickney

    I like Lailah and Benjamin

  • http://www.reson8.org Scot Longyear

    I would never name a child after Jack.
    My top ten:
    1. Scot
    2. Scottiia
    3. Scotford
    4. James Noisewater
    5. Keith (Keith Keithly, nickname: Keith)
    6. Abdul
    7. Bob Barker Keithly
    8. Grassy
    9. Willa
    10. Willard
    And a bonus:
    11. Shwally (a tip of the hat to Shawn Wallace)

    I'm not good at following directions :<

    Congrats to you and the little lady.

      Uhhh, well what can I say. Ria loved em all Scot! Must be the hormones. I must say, I was rather impressed with SHAWN when he twittered my last name CORRECTLY. Maybe next time you'll consult a professional name picker before commenting :-) . I'm still kinda stuck on Cletus Shawn Keathley.

  • Melanie

    Elijah and Bailey.

  • Jamie

    Jacob and Lailah…

    Toby,

    Don't ever put my down by elevating Shawn. I shall now come to Germany and give you a boot to the head.
    Now being corrected on the spelling of your last name, I offer the following for consideration:

    1. Regis Keathley
    2. Chris Kringle Keathly. Say it 5 times fast. I thought so.
    3. The Edge Keathley
    4. Yukon Chang Keethly
    5. Lee Keathley. "Leak" for short. When you pick him up you can say "I have to take a leak."

    And my personal favorite:

    6. Ralph "my-Dad-is-so-lazy-that-he-couldn't-even-name-me-without-the-help-of-his-internet-friends" Keathley

    Keep it up, I havn't even brought out the heavy artillary yet.

      Let me just say, before he gets to this, THAT is freakin hilarious! Did ya happen to see the bald guy at the PX that he took a picture of because he said it was you in 10 years? Oops, did I mention that? I'm sure he Twittered it….Check it out!

    • http://intensedebate.com/people/Pastor_T Pastor_T

      Scotty, Scotty, Scotty. Chris Kringle? My chest hurts from that one. You callin me fat?
      By the way, even when corrected, you spelled the dang thing wrong. I can't imagine Jack doing that. Is that why he got the Santa role?
      And let me correct you on #6. It's "my-Dad-is-so-desperate-for-a-comment-he-emailed-100-people-to-give-me-a-name." That's a father's love brother!
      One last thing: When you make that trip to Germany, be sure to ask me to hook you up with a place to stay. A few "nice" places have sprung to mind lately.
      Wow, I haven't laughed so hard since…Well, since seeing your future right here> http://twitpic.com/s8d6

  • Diane

    I pick Elijah and Lailah.

  • Bill Kerr

    I would have to go with Ezekial (Zeke) and Lailah…congrats by the way. I thought Heather said something about you guys expecting but I didn't want to say anything at church tonight because I wasn't exactly sure.

    • Bill

      don't mind my typo, it's late…I meant Ezekiel. :)

      • http://intensedebate.com/people/Pastor_T Pastor_T

        Thanks man!! I know how ya feel…never a good idea to say congrats on the baby if "you're not sure" LOL That could turn out bad :-) . She could be 6 days pregnant or 2 months…We have no idea…We find out next week…You know military doctors…no rush to see ya :-) .

  • Heather Kerr

    Isaac, and of course – Lailah -except we spell it different. :)

    • http://intensedebate.com/people/Pastor_T Pastor_T

    Ok. You didn't list it, but Adrienne is a beautiful name for a girl. It was my older sisters name.

    and for a guy, ANYTHING but Donald.
    :)

    • http://intensedebate.com/people/Pastor_T Pastor_T

      Hey, weren't you trying to get Shaun to name his baby Adrienne? :-)

  • http://123pizza.org tabitha

    Benjamin (my brother's name) and Lailah (almost named my daughter this).

    Although, I don't think it's fair that Ria's names aren't listed here because I might like hers better. Oh well.

    Congratulations on the new one.

    • http://intensedebate.com/people/Pastor_T Pastor_T

      She'll get hers out tonight, but we'll eventually narrow down and merge the two :-) .

  • http://www.shalomexistence.com Andrea

    Ezekiel and Leah, although a teenie part of me wants to say Rachel bc I might name my daughter Leah. ;) I am obsessed with the books The Red Tent and Poisonwood Bible!

    I'm praying for twins so I vote for Luke and Lacey. That's right…I said TWINS.

  • http://intensedebate.com/people/Pastor_T Pastor_T

    Oh, you're not even right!! I can't wait til Ria sees this :-) . She may be making a trip to Canada

  • Terryapostlethatroks

    Now why ever would she come to Canada? Might it be because I picked better names than you or because of the reason I picked TWO of them? Either way, I'm packing my escape luggage now…so thanks for the heads-up (:-p)

  • http://intensedebate.com/people/Pastor_T Pastor_T

    well, unless that other baby is well hidden in the sonogram, there's only one and HE is a boy :-) (<<see no period there…..i DO listen occasionally)

  • Terryapostlethatroks

    Fine. I'll play along with the "only one baby" theory for now, but a quick google search will reveal just how many "hidden" gems have entered in the world relatively (pardon the pun) unannounced. Considering Ria's military background, we should refer to them as "stealth babies", don'tcha think?

  • http://intensedebate.com/people/Pastor_T Pastor_T

    She keeps having pains that she didn't have with the first 2 and I keep tellin her it's the second baby in there, trying to hide. She doesn't seem to like it when I say that though :-)
