Congrats!

Just don't name your kid with a spelling error: no Karters, Jaxxons, ethnic names, unisex names, or made up ones. I think it is a terrible idea to not give your kid a long name that can be shortened as well (ie name him Michael, not Mike). Enjoy trying not to get annoyed when everyone around you acts like you are crazy if you want more (and you SHOULD want more :)), especially if you end up with a boy and a girl and especially when the time you start thinking about the next the two of them are driving you a bit crazy. Congrats! We are just trying for our third and my wife has taken it hard that it didn't happen "right away" but I think she just jinxes it by over planning and trying to manipulate when she will be pregnant (time of year) and baby's birth month

Lol my grandmother misspelled my mother's name and my mother only bothered to legally correct it when she was about 40, I didn't even know until she did it.
I hate unisex names but I am tempted by some made up names (my husband tempers me there though and vetos them). I prefer long names but like a few short ones, I do like the idea that they can have a nickname and a formal name.
It's easy to get down on yourself when trying for a baby. I never tried to manipulate for a birth month or anything either. When trying for my first a lost a friend because she had an abortion and this time around it was taking so long and everyone seemed to be getting pregnant really quickly.
Thanks and good luck with your third!

The thing with "made up" names is that they don't tend to age very well, they really do ostracize people to varying extents (all the way into adulthood), and it disconnects them from their family tree...from EVERYONE's family tree...much like made up last names or hyphenation. Kudos to your husband...and you; a strong veto system is the way to get a name that works for everyone. I don't relish talking about them but I have learned miscarriages are FAR more common then let on and don't even necessarily indicate a problem or something you did wrong or could fix.

The only question that matters: Is the Baby white? If so, give him a good, strong, Germanic white name. None of these faggy (((Christian))) names the Crypto-Jews name their kids, like (((Michael))) or (((Joshua))).
When the black and jew kids at school hear this kid's name, they should know that if they even slighty look at him wrong, there is going to be a curb-stomping shortly after school.
Also, don't give him a toy rattle. The only toy he needs is a mighty war axe. (OK maybe throw in some LEGOs) If he hasn't chopped down a redwood tree by the time he's reached his fifth autumn, you've failed as a parent.
Heil Odin!

Haha!
Compromise for the first 6 months-a year?
[–] Master_Foo 0 points 2 points 2 points (+2|-0) ago
Nope, the kid needs the weight of the axe to build muscle. My grandpappy gave me a sledge hammer when I was still in the crib. By the time I was 3 years old I stood at 6'11"!

I don't understand the universally accepted daughter bashing.
Everyone does it, and they wonder why women are so fucked up in our society. I find it not only distasteful, but down right revolting that someone would joke about their unborn offspring in such open disgust.

I'd be happy with another girl, it would just be nice to have one of each, especially to give my husband a son and carry on the family name as his dad has 3 granddaughters, and no grandsons yet. A girl would be cheaper though, as no son of mine will wear pink dresses.
Also the joke was voat specific as "I'm pregnant" threads are always filled with "don't circumcise if it's a boy" "is it white?" and "don't send to public school" comments.
I'm Australian so it's part of my culture to joke about everything. I don't think it's "daughter bashing".
Women are fucked up for a lot of reasons, but protecting them of ever being the butt of a joke adds to that more than prevents it in my opinion.
