Congratulations! And Best wishes!!

I will bow out of this one gracefully. I had a hard enough time with my own two. ;) I decided upon a blend of mine and their father’s names. (The oldest is a blend of our middles- Ray and Lynn- and the youngest a blend of our firsts- Jennifer and Preston) Which, I think, ended up beautifully. (Raylyn and Jenson) Thank goodness we stopped at two. Things could have gotten complicated after that. ;)

Wow, congrats! She just might be an April Fool’s baby, like one of my best friends in high school, who was born on April 1st.
Hope you like my entry. Best wishes for you and your newest family member. =)

Daring challenge. It’s a heady responsibility, naming a child. I mean, they’re going to have to live with it every day for a very long time! Best of luck with that and congrats.

I had an April Fool’s baby, and I’m getting ready for that first birthday!
I have boys, but no boy names we could agree on! It was tough, twice! I know what you’re going through.
Congrats though!

Congrats on a baby girl! Hope you find a name for your little girl. =)

I may enter if I can find a name I like. But I hate names honestly.. I have the hardest times naming my characters let alone a human. At least my characters can’t complain if they dont like their names.

Thanks for all your nice comments, I have been overwhelmed by the responses.

This really is a community of nice people :-D

Congratulations. I wish the best for you and the child and I now you’ll find a great name for her ^_

Good luck!!
It’s a hard desicion. There is an AWESOME baby name book called ‘Beyond Jennifer and Jason’. Looks at the history of naming baby and then some……very cool. Cheers

Congrats on your baby! I am definitely entering this…I like so many names, it’s gonna be tough, but I’ll try!!

congratulations on your baby girl!!!!!

Congrats! Let’s see if I come up with something suitable =)

Congrats, Ridcully! I have a list of names for you (I was working on a theme), although one of the characters vetoed all of the other’s suggestions…

Thanks everyone. The challenge is over now, as Isabella Anne Calvert was born at 07:53 GMT this morning, 2 April

Special mention goes to Bartimaeus with “Lyla”, BARomero with “A Comic Shop Owner Expecting His First Child…” and emma jo_234 with “Abigail, Her Father’s Joy”. 5 Calvert points to each of you

My pick for the win is Pickle by Ana Cristina – you get 10 Calvert points

Thanks everyone, that was great!

Also, if you still want to contribute, go right ahead, this is Ficlets after all.

Oh yes, in case you are interested, she is a beautiful healthy little girl and mom and baby are doing well.

Awesome, and thanks for the special mention, Ridcully. Now onto the important stuff… size and weight?

woot! special mention! thx =)))

Baromero – She was 3 kg and 49 cm at birth. That is 6.6 lbs and 19.3 inches for our non-metric friends.

Awww, congratulations!

I love the name you chose for your baby girl. It’s beautiful, as I’m sure she is, too. :) Congratulations!
