[QUOTE="Kahuna Burger, post: 2612913, member: 8439"] We didn't find out ahead of time if the meatball (who was prenatally known as "lump") would be male or female. I had a girl name all picked out (Katherine Ernestine. Katherine has always been my favorite name and we could call her Kitty, and Ernestine is my mom's middle name and my own) and I told the hubby he had to come up with a boy name. It was like pulling teeth! I would read through baby name books and everything got "ugh!" or "eh". He didn't want a junior, he didn't want to name him after his dad because there's too many "john"s in the family already, he didn't like any uncommon names but the common ones were too common, it was hell.... :\ I can't remember exactly when or how we settled on Henry. Its his father's middle name which got it tossed up for discussion, but I think the hubby just liked the solid feel of it, and I was good with him just making a decision. We grabbed the hubby's middle name and hyphenated our last names. :) (the last name thing was the subject of much polling and pop quizzes for everyone I knew as we tried to work out order and method of combination.)
