Ok, I think I may have my baby boy's name picked but honestly it's just cause I can't find anything I love and this one keeps popping in my mind. I want something simple to say for my SO's Ethiopian family and possibly honors my dad who passed recently (John- but I don't love the name "John" or his middle name Raymond). How does Nile Evan Heyi (like hey-e) or Nile Evan Gaines sound? We haven't decided on his last name yet and Evan is the Welsh equivalent of John (I'm part Welsh) so maybe that works? Nile just sounded cool (like the river) and the Nile flows through Ethiopia so double win. Weird? Sound odd? Honest opinions please... I really need help.
@sarahdrew, Ok, good! Cause that's the most "normal" sounding name SO has and Americans would be able to pronounce. Lol
@sarahdrew, Good to know. Thank you- I'm not a fan of my last name (Gaines) and am ok with his if people don't think it's too weird or that baby's name seems odd.
Lol- @stasjafawn I haven't told anyone who knows me yet and may not for that reason. :-)
I am drawn to the first one a bit more ☺ I do like them both tho @rgaine
@rgaine thanks (: but you just have to remember it's not their child - until they're pushing them out of their vagina then they have no say (unless it's your SO)
@stasjafawn, Thanks for that- picking a name sure has been harder for me than I expected. :-/ Cute name choice!
@rgaine there's no such thing as a crappy name! my son will be named Caedmon Finn, and I've had some throwback but oh well
@sarahdrew, Heyi is my SO's last name. Yeah, it's odd but easy.
Thanks @stasjafawn I'm just so nervous about giving him a crappy name. Lol
I like them both... is Heyi the last name? sorry I'm unfamiliar with it
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...

Transgender children
So I just learned that in my kids school district (my kids aren't in school yet my oldest will be starting kindergarten next September) there are twin boys who identify as girls. They are 5 years old. What's your opinions on this matter given they are 5!!! I don't believe that at that age they really understand the whole thing. So the entire school had to take a course on how to handle transgender children. For example they can't say girls go this or boys do that. What are...
Starting TWW. Anyone else?
I had a stillborn daughter at 38 weeks this passed Nov. This is my second month ttc. (Last month we only tried for like two weeks though). My last and only pregnancy, I got pregnant the first month of ttc so I hope it's quick this time again.
@evococa, Thank you! :-)
