Life's Little Pleasures #3 - Tough Decisions

Tuesday, March 25, 2008 10:50:01 AM

Having told people that Pip's pregnant, one of the first questions that people ask us is "do you want to know the baby's sex?". We're not sure, and it's such a hard decision to make. You've got the romance of surprise on one hand, but the practicality of knowledge on the other. At the 20 week scan you can apparently find out the sex, and so we have around 7 weeks to decide. Pip and I are both people who like to be prepared, and I think we're leaning toward finding out, just so we can buy things/decorate accordingly (and as my little little brother is only 6 months old, see what hand-me-downs we can nab

)

Knowing the sex then brings another, probably more important decision: baby names. I think Pip and I starting thinking of names as soon as we found out. Although we have got a couple of definite contenders, we have struggled to find names that we both like. Here are a few of the names that have been vetoed by either (or both) of the prospective parents:

Names for a boy	Names for a girl
Mario Luigi Link Optimus Galvatron Ganondorf Geoff Chewbacca Obi Wan Indiana Han Boba	Peach Daisy Zelda Samus Leia Padme Geoff Amidala Rogue Moneypenny Lara Cheetara

Some cracking choices there, I'm sure you'll agree! Has anyone got any names for us? You may have guessed that the above choices were less than serious (most are my big little brother's suggestions), but if anyone has ideas for names, I'd love to hear them!
