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!

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.
Posted by: Lou | 02 December 2008 at 04:35 AM
My vote is with Jack or Henry :)

Posted by: Tracy | 02 December 2008 at 05:21 AM
I'm partial to Eli, Max and David
Posted by: Hope | 02 December 2008 at 05:26 AM
Will. Or, Michael (Mike).
Posted by: Lisa | 02 December 2008 at 05:27 AM
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
Posted by: TwennyTwo | 02 December 2008 at 05:31 AM
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!
Posted by: amy | 02 December 2008 at 05:39 AM

Posted by: Cindy | 02 December 2008 at 07:28 AM
Toby. Every time.
Posted by: Anne | 02 December 2008 at 07:41 AM
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.
Posted by: Melony | 02 December 2008 at 07:47 AM
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.
Posted by: Sharon | 02 December 2008 at 07:51 AM

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!!)

How about Jacob or Jake, Nico or Nick,
Wishing you the best,
Posted by: ThereseAnn | 02 December 2008 at 09:29 AM
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!
Posted by: jo | 02 December 2008 at 09:30 AM
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!!
Posted by: Bianca W | 02 December 2008 at 09:41 AM
My favorite would have to be James Albertyn, I think it sounds lovely and goes nicely wit Adam and Kate.
Posted by: Shaz | 02 December 2008 at 09:53 AM
Brett Lee.
*walks off killing herself laughing*
Posted by: bec (and Charlotte) | 02 December 2008 at 09:54 AM
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
Posted by: Alana | 02 December 2008 at 10:08 AM
Isaac or Keyan?
Steven, Adam and Kate also sounds nice.
Eric?

Adam, Kate & Josh.
Net so.
Posted by: Ann | 02 December 2008 at 10:33 AM

Personal fav names:

My idea is Roy. Or Alex.
Posted by: Jennifer | 02 December 2008 at 12:04 PM
Hi Tertia,
Why don't you ask Adam and Kate for their suggestion? They could come back with a nice name.
Posted by: Samantha | 02 December 2008 at 12:05 PM
Wow - Congratulations!
Here are a couple of names that you might like:
Dylan
Jason

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)
Posted by: Sister Mel | 02 December 2008 at 02:38 PM
Jack or Charlie
Posted by: Tricia | 02 December 2008 at 02:55 PM
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!
Posted by: Allison | 02 December 2008 at 03:11 PM
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.
Posted by: sarah | 02 December 2008 at 03:18 PM
Keith
Jasper
Ian
Posted by: Jen | 02 December 2008 at 03:33 PM
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.
Posted by: chickenpig | 02 December 2008 at 03:53 PM
My favorite is Jackson. Jack for short...
Posted by: Sonya | 02 December 2008 at 04:15 PM
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?

Posted by: cyndee | 02 December 2008 at 04:20 PM
Jack sounds nice...but I also like Dean, that's my son's name. Dean Albertyn. not bad.
Posted by: stephanie | 02 December 2008 at 04:27 PM
I agree with the idea of asking adam and kate.
and your sister's idea of Finn, short for finnish hehehe
Posted by: azlin | 02 December 2008 at 05:00 PM
Jack, Liam, Alex or Aiden!

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)
Posted by: Melissa | 02 December 2008 at 05:33 PM
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?
Posted by: sheilah | 02 December 2008 at 05:33 PM
Gus - has anyone mentioned Gus?
Bronx has recently been used.
Riki-Tiki-Tavi doesn't fit the one syllable request, does it.
Posted by: ChrisV | 02 December 2008 at 05:35 PM
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
Posted by: Tam | 02 December 2008 at 05:38 PM
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".
Posted by: Val | 02 December 2008 at 05:48 PM
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.

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.

Paul
Good luck

How about Mark

I think you should go with something starting with J.

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.
