Well, androgynity is very Swedish, from what I hear. So your child will fit right in. Besides, this would be a virtue if they were blind drunk (say, around the age of 5) and unable to tell one rest room at a bar from the other.C Elegans wrote:Ehrm....how considerate of you Fable! Snookums MacTavish sounds...unusual to say the least, and since we don't know the gender of the child yet (I think we will next week) I appreciate the...unclear genus, or shall we say androgynity of the name.
In which case Silur must be quite a bit older and more virile than I thought...Dottie wrote:Silur might want to name it after his parent, Sir Roderick Murchison.

Swedish double names are horrible on both girls and boys imo. Of course, they could make it Sven Göran, It would give the boy an advantage when trying to get girls later in life. Might prove disastrous if he chooses a career within football though.Moonbiter wrote: Maybe "It" should have a Swedish name, like Clas Gøran or Sven Ingvar?:laugh: If it's a girl I actually like the name Ylva, though it's way to common. Girls in Sweden tend to have far better names than the boys, though. It's the opposite in Norway, where all girls at the moment seem to be named after shrubbery.

I'm genuinely sorry to hear that. Try saying it first in front of a mirror, ten times, taking it slowly. Be sure to monitor your diastolic pressure. At the first signs of weakness, lie down, and breath deeply. With any luck, you should be able to refer to CE and Silur spawning within a matter of weeks. Glad to help.VonDondu wrote:I don't know much about the Swedish language or Swedish names, but at least I don't refer to their reproductive process as "spawning".
You're very politically correct for a pescaphobe, you know that, don't you?(I'm sure that spawning must be fun for fish and other aquatic life forms, so I don't mean to knock it.)
Indeed. They should name it " ", And later when it grows it could add a new letter say once every 5 years. It would make it's name a window into it's history and also provide entertainment later in life, when the name is harder to pronounce.It's always struck me as odd that we name children before we know them. My given name is Arthur, but I have always shortened my middle name from Griffith to Griff, and used that as my common name.
Arthur isn't me.
Interesting you should say that. We didn't think of any names before our son was born, for the first two weeks of his life he actually didn't have a nameObsidian wrote:It's always struck me as odd that we name children before we know them.
I'm quite sure that I'm a distant relative to the Wasa family (since my distant relatives come from the same hovel as they did), and as such I have the right to kick out that froggie usurper that's wearing out my crownDottie wrote:I can see that some people have a severe lack of understanding regarding the Swedish order of succession. Fable is excused being an American, but Silur should really know better. Shame.
