We figured it out in the car on the way home- and at that point our relationship was still very young. <BR/><BR/>In the end, we didn't find out Kai's sex until after we lost him- so, as you know, we gave him a name that meant "water" because he was now our water baby.<BR/><BR/>As to girls' names, one of our two top choices is now out, because Alan wrote the most beautiful song for our baby where he used it, after we lost Kai but before we found out that he was a he. So we have one girl's name and one boy's name left, and I pray that we get to use them.<BR/><BR/>George is so very much your son that I imagine that it's hard to imagine having a son who _isn't_ George. Hoping that whoever the new little one turns out to be, you and Ray don't have to wait long before you get to share all that love with George's brother or sister.Dani819https://www.blogger.com/profile/00620957484893505246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7456461102167226695.post-12942051662439058912008-12-21T10:26:00.000+00:002008-12-21T10:26:00.000+00:00Hope was never our girl name. Even though I always...Hope was never our girl name. Even though I always suspected I was having a boy, I only had a girl's name picked out. The one boy name we liked was Leo, but we were a bit torn on it because the baby was going to be a Leo! Then I had a girl, but I chose to give her a different name - the name Hope came to me just after I had her. It seemed so fitting at the time as hope was all I had left. I torture myself a bit with this now as I feel a bit bad for "saving" my girl name. Now I worry I wont ever have another girl, and I'll never get to use my most favourite girl name. I really do want another girl, bur I can more imagine having a boy next time. I think she's my girl who got away. But of course, alive and healthy more than anything, that's the main thing.Hope's Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04984543289642681339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7456461102167226695.post-11256792454911536272008-12-21T04:58:00.000+00:002008-12-21T04:58:00.000+00:00My grandfathers name was also George :) I just lov...My grandfathers name was also George :) I just love that name :)<BR/><BR/>Last week I dreamt of Christian for the second time. He was a little baby, he was healthy. I knew it was Christian but the name Michael was echoing throughout the entire dream.<BR/><BR/>I don't know what it means, but if I were to fall pregnant again, Michael will be on the cards for a little boys name.<BR/><BR/>Wishing beautiful visions for your future :)Carly Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14586501928364642712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7456461102167226695.post-89848117921118276102008-12-21T03:44:00.000+00:002008-12-21T03:44:00.000+00:00Barbara- I knew with Emma and The Comedian, but I ...Barbara- I knew with Emma and The Comedian, but I convinced myself with Bear that she was a boy because I just couldn't think of having another girl after losing one. I bawled when the lab tech told me. I even questioned her accuracy. <BR/><BR/>Regarding names - I picked Emma Grace. After that I couldn't pick another girl name. It was too hard for me, for some reason. I had a boy's name all lined up for five years..Samuel Paul - but he never graced our family. My husband took over the naming department and he did such an amazing job - they are classic and elegent yet not widely used. I am so in love with his choices.Carahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08878937591945134056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7456461102167226695.post-42103845999091077032008-12-21T02:30:00.000+00:002008-12-21T02:30:00.000+00:00I knew somehow I was having a boy, just knew.

When I asked him if it was okay to name him after him, he told me he was honoured. That still makes me cry a little. He wanted a little nephew or neice so badly, didn't matter to him, he was teaching them to play hockey regardless. <BR/><BR/>And as I've told you many times before, I love George as that is my father's name and is on the list of potentials for "next time" if there is one.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7456461102167226695.post-31003145442910321992008-12-20T21:37:00.000+00:002008-12-20T21:37:00.000+00:00We also intuited that we were having a boy, althou...We also intuited that we were having a boy, although we did find out for sure at the 20 week u/s. And we had Ezra Malik picked out as our boy's name long before we were even serious about marrying each other. We were having a conversation about IF we stayed together and IF we had a child, how would we choose a name that was culturally relevant to both of us. In the Jewish tradition you pick names after people who have passed, so the E is for my grandfather Eugene and the M is for my grandmother Marion. But also Ezra is Hebrew and Malik, though Arabic, is a common African-American name. We struggled so much more with a girl's name and still aren't 100% clear on what we'd name a girl. In short, when the 20 wk u/s confirmed what we already knew, that our first child was a son, we knew he was Ezra Malik. The rest, of course, is not what we anticipated...<BR/><BR/>I too seem to only be able to envision a girl as my second child...not quite sure why that is.ezra'smommyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17342399045659116165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7456461102167226695.post-48728871106755967382008-12-20T19:52:00.000+00:002008-12-20T19:52:00.000+00:00I had very similiar feelings, Barbara.

I think the baby I lost was a girl, but not sure, it was too early. <BR/>I knew my two sons were going to be boys even though we didn't find out officially, I just knew. I didn't have any in utero nicknames, just the "baby" or the "soccer player", (I mean "football") I was scared and worried, but tried to maintain a positive and hopeful outlook. I sincerely wish the best for you and Ray and a beautiful, healthy babe, no matter girl or boy.Martha@A Sense of Humor is Essentialhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07129428477996644401noreply@blogger.com
