Popular Baby Names…
OK, so right now, I am at work….Yes, I am supposed to be doing actual work, but, I’m sure you all know how boring that can be. So, instead, I have been looking at popular baby names! My husband and I are finding out if our little bundle of joy will be a a little boy or a little girl this Thursday, so I have been wondering about different names.
So far, the only name my husband will tell me he likes is the name Tristen/Tristan for a little boy. He doesn’t want to go further into the name discussion until he knows for sure what our baby will be. I like the name Olivia Marie for a little girl. I told him that he can name the baby if it’s a boy, as long as I approve of the name. Yes, because I am carrying this baby for 9 months, I get VETO POWER! As every Mommy should! I also told him that I am naming our baby if it’s a girl, and he gets NO VETO POWER! As it should be! LOL!
So, I came across this site: http://www.socialsecurity.gov/OACT/babynames/
You can see the most popular names in the U.S. for 2007, and there is a link on the page that you can click and find out the most popular baby names for every year since 1880 (I think.)
I am very excited to find out if we are having a little girl or a little boy! Of course, my hubby is hoping for a boy, and I am hoping for a girl, but the only thing we are praying for is a happy, healthy baby….you know, 5 fingers on each hand, and 5 toes on each foot, etc.
A lot of people think we are crazy for not wanting to be surprised, and then there are some that think we would be crazy if we wanted to be surprised. I just want to be able to buy and register for mostly pink frilly things if it’s going to be a girl, or blue, boyish things if it’s going to be a boy. I don’t want to get just the generic colors that go with both genders…(yellows and greens)….
Plus, there is still a chance of surprise, because the Dr’s results/findings in ultrasounds have been known to be wrong before…..Example: My aunt just knew she was having a boy…the doc said so, several times….but when the baby came out, it was a little girl. That was 24 years ago. More recently, my cousin-in-law had an ultrasound and the doc kept flipping from one appointment to the other…first a girl, then a boy, back to girl, no wait, boy….so, when the baby finally came, it was a boy! That was 3 years ago….
Hopefully our doctor will tell us a sex and stick to it, because hopefully he will be right the first time he tells us boy or girl. But you never really know I guess, until D-Day (Delivery Day)….
Anyway, if anyone has any name ideas, please leave a comment!!! I would love to read your suggestions!!!
Until next time, Happy Blogging!

Like it, Love it, or by all means…Leave it!
I started this web log one night after a particularly bad conversation with someone. I needed to get some stuff off my chest. What better way to vent than to just start typing? (If you talk to someone, then you have to answer questions.) I didn’t really know how to start a blog, so I just did it.
In my blog I will vent about things that piss me off, tell funny stories, or just type about things that might not be of interest to you, but these things will be part of my life. If at any time you don’t like what you’re reading, then by all means, go somwhere else!
Here is me and my cute puppy, Kobe…He is the cutest dog in the whole world! He loves to play and cuddle…He’s such a momma’s pup too, I love him! He’s great when I just need to hug someone, always ready for a hug! He is so precious! 
Leave comments if you visit please…otherwise, how will I know you were here?

Congratulations. You might find this map of popular baby names, which includes the 2007 SSA data, more interesting.
You should a agree on a boy name and a girl name.
Well, I don’t know, giving a baby a really popular name is kind of unoriginal. I liked Olivia Marie, it sounds nice, and it is a nice break from all the Ashleys and Katies. If your baby hasn’t been born yet, you may want to try and think of an original name, something unique, but pretty(if it’s a girl). Tristan isn’t so generic either. I know a few Tristans, but not many. I’ve met, like, 3 in my entire life. For a boy, a somewhat popular name is probably better. My aunt never thought of a name she liked, so she just called my cousin “boy” until he had to go to school, at which point she turned it into “Boyd”.
My boys are Keegan Andrew and Kyler Anthoney. (i get lots of compliments on wow cool their names are) If it was girls i liked Kassidy or Kennedy
The style of writing is very familiar . Did you write guest posts for other bloggers?
~How to Get Six Pack Fast~ Nope, I have never written guest posts for anyone…:)
Hey, cool tips. I’ll buy a glass of beer to that person from that chat who told me to go to your site
Hello, hope you don’t mind me popping in and leaving a comment. I found you via the “related items” link as I was talking babies and found your posts really good. I’m on my third pregnancy and have never found out the sex of my baby although suspense is driving me a little nuts at the moment. Wishing you all the best in this pregnancy and I’ll be watching out for you in the future.
