What's in a name?

It came to my attention a few weeks ago that one of you thinks it's silly that we call our future child "the McNugget." I'm sorry you feel that way but we are not thinking of changing it! We rather like the reminder of an early part of this pregnancy.

However, in case our dissenter has some company among you, I thought I would share the other names this future babe goes by:

Juniper - this is a name that we have ruled out naming our child and therefore it's fair game. We came up with it when we were thinking about names and brainstorming over the letter J. I think it's kind of cute, Jonathan thinks it's absolutely out of the question. Our friend Annie's mom laughed out loud at the suggestion that we would even consider it and thus the nickname was born.

BGG - my mom invented this nickname which stands for "Baby Girl Gordin." I don't think it rolls off the tongue very nicely but she likes it.

Jamette - another Mom creation. She came up with this one before the McNugget was even a glimmer in my uterus. She enjoys talking about the things we'll do with little "Jamette." I wonder if she would have adjusted this name if we were having a boy. Perhaps she just knew it would be a girl?

There are a few others but they're not as common for us. Any suggestions from you, dear readers?

Well, you could take a page from Alanis Morrisette's parents and go for the hybrid name:

Jamathan
Jomie
Rurdin Rubin-Gordon?
