Name that blog baby!

Oh what the hell, I might as well enjoy it.  I was going to say we can only talk about names after Wed's LBC (live baby check) but you know what, I can't keep living in limbo, waiting and worrying about the 'what if'. I am going to TRY my best to enjoy this pregnancy. (Dear Jinx, I am not enticing you, I am being pragmatic rather than arrogant.  Please don't punish me)

So, name that baby.  The parameters:

• Must fit in with Adam and Kate
• Don't worry too much about fitting in with Albertyn because what the hell fits in with that anyway.  Don't tell Marko I said that.
• We prefer short names. Like Adam and Kate.
• Not terribly fond of very modern or trendy names.
• Ben and Luke are out as they are the names of my other sons who passed away.

Fire away. I look forward to your suggestions.  A smooch (with tongue) to the person who comes up with the winning name.

David. It's a strong boy's name, and I love it. My 4 year-old's middle name is Davina - it's the closest thing to David I could find in a girl's name.

So glad to hear the good news!

[Tanya]

I like:
Aaron
Jake
Noah
Nate

[Lou]

Hope you are still reading this far down. Congratulations on your fantastic news, so pleased for you.

Names I like are:

Theo (Adam, Kate and Theo...)

Oscar (Adam, Kate and Oscar...)

Nate (Actually this doesn't go as it rhymes with Kate, sorry)

Oliver (Adam, Kate and Ollie/Oliver...)

Best of luck to you in choosing, it's so hard I know.

Lou.

[Laura M.]

My vote is with Jack or Henry :)

[Helen]

Noah or Jacksen.
Glad to hear your results :)

[Sandy]

Congratulations!

I love Oscar & Simon.

[Tracy]

My boy's all have four letter names. How about Matt, Alex or Jake?

[Hope]

I'm partial to Eli, Max and David

[Lisa]

Will. Or, Michael (Mike).

[TwennyTwo]

Hi Tertia,

Back to say- yay one of my choices earlier (Zach or Zack or Zak) seems very popular

and- I think the short a + k sound at the end is a winner, that's why everyone loves Jack and Max and Zach.

So I am adding the new spin: Jax.

Or do a Sarah Palin (*retch*) and call your son Track.

Grins,
Twenny

[amy]

Marco? ;) Matt (Matthew), Aiden (would have used if the girlies had been boys), Max, Alexander (Alex)?

Don't care, just happy you are having another freaking baby!

[k77]

Ryan? Jake? Zac? James?

[Mandy Joubert]

Firstly CONGRATULATIONS! Goodluck, he sure is going to be a very special little boy.

My name suggestions are:

Connor
Liam
Ryan

I think my favourites are: Adam, Kate & Connor Albertyn or Adam, Kate & Liam Albertyn.

I wish you all the best for your pregnancy.
Regards
Mandy

Here's my suggestions:

Daniel
Jeffery (Jeff)
Michael (Mike)

[wendy]

Samuel. That is my son's name, and he is as smart, sweet, and sturdy as the name implies. I am so happy for you. Congratulations!!

[Maritza]

Love the names Zach & Joel

[stephanie]

I like the name Nick.

[LaurieC]

I like the name Chance. Also, I looked up name meanings, and Felix means "lucky".

So happy for your baby boy. Congrats.

[Cindy]

Congratulations! My son's names is Sam and his dad is Adam. So to me they go great together!
Adam, Kate and Sam

[Anne]

Toby. Every time.

[Melony]

Dantè, a very special name.

Its origin is from Spanish, Italian and Latin, which literally in English means "lasting, enduring" as well as "firm, resolute."

Good luck with the name. Enjoy the pregnancy.

[Sharon]

Oscar, it's simple, only has two syllables and I think it goes well with Albertyn.

Huge congrats on the normal results and good for you on your decision to enjoy the rest of this pregnancy.

[Sheryl]

I like Jack too!!

[Nicola Goemans]

Josh, Paul, Matt, John.

Kisses

[Tracey]

I like Zach, but that is your nephews name.

How about

Keagan
Jason
Logan
Dylan
Micheal
Jordan
Callum ( but in SA we just know how the afrikaans ppl will pronounce that.)
Donovan
Gregory
Marc ( WITH A C)
Philip
Andrew

Gee I can go on and on and on.

[Coral]

Max, Jack and Blake!

My daughter fancies Torq - have you ever - it's father is a mechanic, every time he chats about the torque of a motor the kid's ears are going to prick up - gah!! (She does not know yet the sex, so let's hope for a girl and we can use Ellen7 - or not!!)

[Kathleen]

Jay

Josef

Finn

Ryan

Sean

Van

[Leiny]

Sven (Lucky number seven)

[Elaine]

Liked it so much, I named my son it.
Angus.

[Mariëtte]

Eli
Martin
Matt
Sam (very popular I see...)

Good luck, I hope you choose mine. I am still so happy for you.

[Nola]

Not Jack!! In South Africa he will be greeted with "Hi Jack"...and everyone will run away thinking a crime is about to be committed. :)

Ewan
Jethro

[corlea fourie]

Congrats!! So utterly pleased for you! I love Noah too. But my bet is on James.

[Darena]

Kate, Adam and Matthew!!!!! (or....Duanne!)

[ThereseAnn]

How about Jacob or Jake, Nico or Nick,
Wishing you the best,

[jo]

My sons are James (2 years) and Ryan (2 weeks). I like those names as they are simple, easy to spell, and there's no confusion about their gender!

[Bianca W]

My son's name is Bryce - it is my husbands family name (all the boys have it) and at first I balked a bit, but it has grown on me SO much. AND. THere are no other Bryce's at his school (although granted, he is only in pre-school). :-)

When we were pregnant with Hannah, our boy option was Seth. Those are the only 2 boys names that Dean and I could agree on.

GOOD LUCK!!

[Shaz]

My favorite would have to be James Albertyn, I think it sounds lovely and goes nicely wit Adam and Kate.

[bec (and Charlotte)]

Brett Lee.

*walks off killing herself laughing*

[Alana]

There are waaay too many comments for me to go through to see if these names are listed but here's mine anyway:

Ian
Dylan
Samual (Sam)
Gavin
Jonah
Todd
James
Shane

[Inarie]

Isaac or Keyan?
Steven, Adam and Kate also sounds nice.
Eric?
Dylan?
EXCITING!!!!!!!

[Ann]

Hi Tertia

I still like "Joshua", shortened to "Josh".

Adam, Kate & Josh.

Net so.

[Aasia]

Congrats on the preganancy, hopefully its just blossoms and happiness (no nausea and morning sickness)

Personal fav names:

Mike
John

[Inarie]

I read through the suggestions again and my favourites jumping out are Will and Leo!!
(Personal favourites still Isaac and Lucas though!)

[tati]

joe

[tati]

sorry sent before finished...

also

sam
matt

amazing news going well.

[Jessie]

I vote for the name Seth... perfect :)

[Jennifer]

My idea is Roy. Or Alex.

[Samantha]

Hi Tertia,

Why don't you ask Adam and Kate for their suggestion? They could come back with a nice name.

[Genevieve]

Wow - Congratulations!

Here are a couple of names that you might like:

Dylan
Jason
Daniel
Thomas

Good luck with choosing a name.............

[The unpregnantmother]

What about Josh?

[3littlepigs]

Jake (could be short for Jacob)

Adam, Kate and Jake.....perfect!

[genie]

[melody]

Here we go girl:

Levi
Seth
Jude
Troy

Yes ? Yes ? Up to spec?

[Rene]

Congratulations ! You are in my thoughts all the time. Emile, Henry and Craig are my favourites.

[Chris]

George!

[Sister Mel]

I like Fartbag, poopstink, F'pita or arsehole junior (you are senior) but those might have to be nicknames
And mostly, I like Finn
(Jack good too)

[Tricia]

Jack or Charlie

[Allison]

I'm an idiot - sorry for suggesting Luke. I still like Andrew and Ryan, but after reading some of the other suggestions, I also think Colin is a great suggestion. It could go really well with Adam and Kate. Sorry again!

[sarah]

Since Adam was the first man and a prophet, choose another prophet like Daniel. My favourite names are:

1. Max, Sean, Christan, Daniel, Timothy, Craig.

[Jen]

Keith

Jasper

Ian

[chickenpig]

I thought I would throw Shay out there. Shay Albertyn :)
Also you've got a lot of votes for Nathan. If you don't want the Kate/Nate rhyming situation, you could always call him Nat. My mom wanted to call my Nathan 'Nat' but no one calls him that but her.

[Sonya]

My favorite is Jackson. Jack for short...

[cyndee]

I'm up for a POLL myself!

And what about a photo of the mom2b?

LOVE Seb! Or Jack Daniel (together)! Owen and Joshua are divine too! Oh dear - tough decision!

What're Marko's/Adam's/Kate's choices?

xx

[stephanie]

Jack sounds nice...but I also like Dean, that's my son's name. Dean Albertyn. not bad.

[azlin]

I agree with the idea of asking adam and kate.

and your sister's idea of Finn, short for finnish hehehe

[Sharon]

Jack, Liam, Alex or Aiden!

[Joni]

Hi Tertia

Josh, I think it's a lovely name!!

xxx

[Melissa]

My third (surprise after IVF twins) is Jack but he is a year and a half and I feel like everyone we meet is Jack.

Chase
Jeremy (not that short, but nice)

[sheilah]

You will never get down this far and I am just kind of me-tooing anyway but I thought I'd throw my two cents in. I like Jack but someone said it is a 'trendy' name now...I hate trendy names. I also like Sam and Tom, either of those would be good too. Or how about Paul? Julie now has a Ben; you can have a Paul. I like any of these.

And you know it's all about me, don't you?

[ChrisV]

Gus - has anyone mentioned Gus?

Bronx has recently been used.

Riki-Tiki-Tavi doesn't fit the one syllable request, does it.

[Tam]

I think you should name LN7 "JINX" ~ Just perfect!!! OK, really I love the name "Will". XXOO & so happy (& a bit jealous) that you have a healthy baby percolating. Tam

[Val]

John, Dick or Harry? Ha Ha! Just kidding. I don't have a boy name. I've always been partial to Anna, but that would make as bad of a boy name as "Sue".

[Maura]

Delurking to say:

1) Congratulations! I have a really good feeling about this baby (and my birthday is May 28th, so I think late May is a wonderful due time)

2) Jude Thaddeus is the patron saint of hopeless/forgotten causes. Adam, Kate, & Jude sounds nice to me.

[Tracey Dixon]

I'm back.....

Seth.

Adam, Kate & Seth

John.

Adam, Kate & John

[Kelly]

I thought of a few more

Travis
Rob
Austin
Leland

[Andrea]

Gabriel, shortened to Gabe.

[Heather]

Henry! Or Oliver!

[D]

... someone probably already suggested this name but I'm going to throw it out there anyhow... Nick. That is a short name and I think it goes well with Adam, Kate, Ben and Luke.

[bp]

Zane
Zack (short for Zachary)

Gotta have closure, A - Z.

lvualways, and SO happy for you!

bp

[Terri]

reed

[anita]

[kerry]

Hi,
A random thought or 2 : (laughing)
After your babe is born you'll have to add Marco's face to the "babies designed by..." section!
Lots of ladies wanting a wet one with the overwhelming response to the winner for the name reward!!
I've no doubt that know you already know what his little name is!!
I'm so happy for you all.
xxx

[Foster]

Ted. Scott.

[Anna]

Obviously I can't go back and read 400 comments so I'm just throwing in suggestions *love*

Max
Seth
Matt
Sam
Noah (I love that one personaly, I think it matches in style, is short and classic -but not overused- and shares the biblical style of Adam.)
Paul

Good luck

Anna

[Bema]

Max and Jack are really common right now in the States.

How about Mark

[Sue]

I think you should go with something starting with J.

[merseydotes]

Wow - I fall off blogs for a few months and you're PREGNANT? Congrats, Tertia. So glad all is going well.

Simon
Oscar
Thomas
Charlie
Owen

[Lesley Watt]

I've been away seeing family since Saturday so I've only just seen your updates. Great to hear LN7 is doing good.

My favourite name's Steven so I'm suggesting that one. Also if you like short names how about Mark? Although you already have Marko so it might get confusing. Also like the name David.

[Menita]

Geoff
Paul
Will
Quinn
Jack
Henry
For the way this baby wandered into your life: Peregrine (you can call him Perry)
Ross
Dom
Justin

[Anna]

One of my friends in England named her son JUDE. I like it lots. Here in Italy popular names that have English translations are Simon - Samuel - Jacob.
