I don't know whether mine's a boy or a girl but at the moment names being mooted are - For Boy - Arthur Elvis Arthur Elvis Arthur Badger Arturo Vincent Seth Terrence Reginald
For Girl - Ines Margot Ines Loveday
I don't like Seth or Margot,, I don't mind Reg but am not keen on Reginald, I like Terry but not Terrence.

And it probably gives them a shiny coat and a wet nose.

That's excellent news, Herbs! I'm so pleased for you. Little boys are excellent. FACT.

And a glistening cerise lipstick cock, barbed with a hundred tiny hooks which can be used as a vast mug tree for mini china mugs, a penile crampon for scaling Velcro mountains in the nude or a shoal pole for landing enough food for an entire village in a single haul.
You know the Chinese proverb: Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Give a man a barbed feline fishing rod dick and he'll eat like a shark all year round.
Right, Benwahsan?
Sainsbury's own rat, eel and tripe in cockle gravy seems to go down well.
We fed one baby with Titania's own organic beetroot, alfalfa and kale capuccino of sheer goodness (Feed Baby Anything Cheaper and You'll Watch helplessly as She Dies of Rickets then be Shunned and Vilified by Your Peers for the rest of Your Sorry Life) and the other with Sainbury's budget hare, gruel and cod offal in horse jelly cat food (All a Growing Cat Needs, and Some Other Bits best not Mentioned) for 12 months.
By his first birthday the Titania baby looked down on its fellow man, walked with an eerie clicking sound and murdered guests all the way to Roman-World.
While the Cat food baby had grown to five times his rival's size and celebrated his first birthday with a trip to Mount Eyes in the Velcro Alps.
Give them Cat food, because they can't talk and they cost enough already.

Will no one name their son "Jean-Baptiste"? I'm thinking of changing my own name to Jean-Baptiste just to prove how cool it is, since no one with babies will believe me.

Well done herbs and Fonzbert!
I'm going for hospital birth because I want latest medical equipment, registrars, drugs etc. And because of possible placenta praevia which may mean a Caesarean depending on my 32 week scan. Also especially having read a transcript last week of a woman giving birth accidentally in her house with only a 999 operator to help her. "Aaarrrrggggggghhhhhhh there's something really big between my legs" was particularly chilling.
Not bothering with antenatal classes though, as the only thing anyone says they're good for is meeting people who will want to share your babytalk conversations after the birth, and giving you the illusion that you have some sort of control over the whole process.

Ooh but I want both those things - people who won't be bored utterly stiff by my neurotic ramblings about shit, and a semblance of control over labour. That's the thing that scares me - being in the hands of other people, and not being able to make my own decisions, even if they are then ignored.
Though I'm under no illusions that I'll give birth, breathing deeply in the swan position on a birth mat woven from the pubes of my elders.
As for Herbie, we are planning to give him my surname (of which herbs is a derivation) as his middle name. So, it may stick!
Did you do the discreet thing, and find out the sex but not tell the whole world? And where's London, to share her words of wisdom of having a boy come out of her fanjo, and not in the usual way.

In that case the word seems to be to go with the NCT ones rather than the NHS ones. We don't know what Smudge is - the scan man was most unhelpful. S/he's due on 6th May, so I guess we find out then(ish)... What's your due date?

That's what mrs. ralph likes about home birth -- good, bad, or otherwise, she was in complete control of the process.

Fonzbert was sitting down, with his legs crossed, modestly hiding his area from the lady. For a while I thought it was going to remain a mystery, but she told me to get up and leap about, and he had indeed moved about enough. She got a shot from below and said 'there!'. It was only she pointed out one particular grey area from the others that we saw his manchap. Felt rather intrusive...

Jesus, that's no time for a 999 operator to be boasting about his manhood.

Boys do seem to be standard TMO issue. I have to admit to a teensy bit of disappointment at him not being a girl, but I suspect it's because I like wooly tights and cord dresses. Tell me some fun boy stories... And how can I ensure he's a gay?

but that's not my daughters name...so I'm still a bit confused by your post. It didn't make much sense really. Seems like a bit of a stretch to try and take a dig at me and my infant daughter. Slow day at the office?
