Heh heh- you could stike a deal like I did I've always thought I was having two boys anyway but I'm not giving up on Ramona till this baby is born and if it's a boy I told my H we have to get a girl dog and call her Ramona!
There is a tradition going back many generations in my H's family that the first born boy gets his father's first name as his middle name. So our son has my H's name as his middle name and in the interest of gender equality I decided that Ramona would get her Mum's name so she'll be Ramona Renee. I like the aliteration
But we should get back to boys names because all this talk of Ramona makes me want a girl SOOO badly and I feel bad for this poor little boy I'm sure is growing in my belly!
Oh, on the path of middle names I think this baby's middle name will be Dawson. I wanted a family name from my side this time and Dawson is my Dad's middle name. I don't get along super well with my Dad though I love the name and I think he'd be chuffed I used his name.
I love my Dad's name, but I don't get along that well with my Dad, so half don't want to use it. He gets called by his middle name anyway, so it's sort of not his. Trying to convince DH to use it on the grounds that it would be after a cyclist (Robbie McEwen) He's not all the way there yet.
Definitely could not strike any Ramona deals with my DH. Which is fine, as we have loads of other girls names that I love. All of our bikes are also named - we have 10, so it's easier to tell them apart that way. I have Laila, Susie, Ramona and Xena. He has Mario, Arthur, Roy, Eric, Sunny and Bruce. I also have a Melbourne bike called Tina.
Anyway, to get back on topic... did I include Huxley and Ridley on the list?
I just came across a name in another forum that I haven't heard anywhere else. (and that forum is North American so you're pretty safe... ) Not an X name, but I still thought it was cool: Orion. I thought it might be nice that he could go by the full version if he wanted to be unique, or shorten it to Rion (Ryan) if he wanted a little more "common sounding" name.
