the baby with no name
Jun 1st, 2010 by islandhippy
OMG, Sandy had a Braxton Hicks the other night — that's a false contraction — and I was suddenly reminded that she must be giving birth soon. "Hello ... I'm 1 cm dilated, you know, the baby's due any day now! The doctor can already feel the baby's head!" Cripes. I immediately started worrying about what still needs to be done. Sandwiches. Last time Sandy gave birth I took a mountain of sandwiches to the hospital. "Screw your sandwiches, how about a name for the baby?" True. We still don't have a name for baby boy. Last time we had some great suggestions of names for the then unnamed Olive. I recall that young George Gosling came up with the best suggestions back then: zucchini (which he was eating at the time) and Cinderella.
We need some suggestions of boy's names. George, putting your thinking cap on again. Has anybody heard any great boy's names recently? We need some inspiration. So far, we have the following names on the list, but I'm not sure how taken we really are by any of these:
Nathaniel Tatham
Rowan Tatham
Charles Tatham
Barnaby Tatham
Alexander Tatham
Miles Tatham
Hugo Tatham
Rupert Tatham
A few first names from the jazz world:
Jerry
Art
Cliff
Jamey
Art Tatham is my favorite, but they all pop, no?

Hiya, Congratulations (if I haven’t congratulated you already)! George said he’s busy reading “Pendragon” at the moment but will try to think of a name soon. He also said he can’t remember coming up with the name “Zucchini” for little Olive but thought it was very funny.
Richard will be back in Malaysia from July 10 – 28 and will be spending most of the time in Penang (and 1 day in Johor Bahru). Any chance of you guys coming over either to Penang or JB? Would really love to see the kids (forget about the parents!).
Are you still using the same email address?

I still like the name Caper Tatham… goes well with big sister Olive!
William is another good one, Sam (very stable name!) or how about Justin? Good luck guys!
