The name game

Well, it turns out, picking names when there are unknowns of gender, first name that are easy to pronounce as well, middle name that goes well with the first name, family suggestions to deal delicately, factors, it is quite a challenge.

Vivek sounds wise, but taken; Rohan is to ascend; Vinay is humble; Nathan means 'He gave'; John 'God is gracious'; Johan is a variation but means the same; Steve was a hit but too popular; Tarun is young; Nihar doesn't ring any bells; Timothy was a faithful companion, 'honoring God'; Luke, Joshua, Gabriel are all nice; How would Simon or James Cherian sound; I liked Caleb; She liked Joel, 'the Lord is willing'.

On the other hand, Grace is so good, should it be first or middle; Cloe is verdant; Venus; Stuthi is praise, hard to say; Suma, Linsy , Nanma are all mallu; Meghan is taken; Kripa is grace/blessing/mercy (depending on context); I liked Lydia; She liked Esha; Hanna, Emma , Eva, Divya, Ria, Tina, Vinney Jr are all nice. Mercy can be the middle , but will it go well with Grace or Faith.

You see..

milestone 28

This is captain joe reporting..did you copy , we just passed milestone 28. We have been drifting along.... somedays overcast, backaches; somedays windcast, moodswings; somedays suncast, chirpy. One thing that has been constant is the kick routinue. We thank God for that.

I can't believe that the third leg is already here; 28 weeks zoomed by. On hindsight the second leg was a breeze. We tried Tuesdays-walk-in-the-park, long shopping mall jaunts and even a morning of pilates/yoga.
The load is building up, the thigs are complaining. I think, now we will have to shift gears.
For now, the Word of the week is: Rest & Relax

By the way, baby's skill of the week is supposedly Blinking.
