Okay, this is the "name our baby" contest. We've got a few names picked out, but nothing seems to really stick. We've waffled for 9 months now, and its getting really close, so maybe someone out there has a name they'd like to suggest. Ladies, I know alot of you like to keep favorite names secret, because many of you fear you'll start a trend before you have a baby of your own to name. But I'd still be curious to hear some fresh suggestions. Oh, by the way, its going to be a girl.

And just to save you some time New Kenzo - Forms and Fishtown will not be seriously considered as names.

Finally, I know I said its a contest, but the only prize will be the satisfaction of naming one of Fishtown's newest residents.

I love the name Grace. I wanted to name one of my daughters that but given the fact that my children's last name begins with G - I didn't want to wind up with a GiGi.

You can steal my name - it

You can steal my name - it is Kali, pronounced Kale (like the vegetable) - ee, and rhymes with Haley.

May you always have walls for the winds,
a roof for the rain, tea beside the fire,
laughter to cheer you, those you love near you,
and all your heart might desire.

Just to clarify, the name cam be for a Boy or Girl and I think there is really no spelling distinction..

One of the old men in my church in Delaware County was named Keeley. He was a great guy. It would be an honor to have such a name.

Congratulations!

Well, after two boys and no girl in sight I don't mind offering our girl name in the mix,

Keeley, pronounced KEE-lee, NOT Kelly. The eel sound is pronounced like the word eel,

It is either a druid term or a Gaelic word that means Pure/Beautiful.

It has always been a favorite, mostly from memories of dancing on my Dad's feet to "that old black magic", by Louis Prima and Keely Smith, but I love the origins and the meaning, plus I just thought it was a unique name

Good luck on chosing a name and I hope the delivery and birth go well!!

I like names with odd letter

I like names with odd letter combinations like Phoebe, Graeme.
Oh names like Violet, Lily, Lully, Ruby all super for girls.

Persephone (pron: per-sef-a-nee or per-sef-o-nee): love names: percy, sephanie, sephie, sofie

Desire’ / desiree: love names = dez, desi,

my friend, in an impaired state, made note of how pretty the word “true” is…I thought Truly might be fun (love name = true).

i think Dharma is a super name

and whatever name tom cruise & his new bride / mother of his child named their baby was very pretty (but I forget it).

how 'bout you throw out a couple that you’re (both) thinking about & maybe we can translate / enhance them.
