'Panther Princess'?

..mm-mm goldmine..

How about... "Mistress of the Velvet Fang?"
That has a certain ring to it as well

True, unless she acquires the nickname, "Fang." Then people might think she was a dog. Of course, knowing Silur, he'd probably train her to roll over on command, so it would all work out, in the end.

lol! :laugh:

OK then, in order to avoid being blessed with the likely unfortunate nickname of "Fang," how about "Mistress of the Velvet Talon?"
After all, some of the men around here have been known to fantasize about the child's mother in a black catsuit, so it all has a certain aptness to it

Or another possibility, "Mistress of the bejeweled lash"..

Sounds like the name you'd give a groupie that belonged to a mediocre rock band from the 80's

If male:

Brynolf
Styrbjörn
Borka
Snorre
Mahatma

If female:

Bionda
Medusa
Ronja

Thanks all for you wonderful and less wonderful suggestions! Our daughter was born on the 4th of July (sigh) and we have thus far named her Alexandra Diana. It's common in Sweden to have 3 first names though, so there is still room for one more!

Right now she is sleeping on her father's chest - her favorite place.

I am extremly happy that she is finally outside of my body instead of on the inside!

Congratulations CE and Silur!

I can certainly relate to the relief of your daughter being on the outside

And I have to admit... I giggled a bit at the birth date. Our son is born two days before Valentine's Day and four days before my SO's birthday. No doubt you can imagine my horror at the thought of either of those dates especially VDay....
But July 4 th... *grins*

Congrats, CE! Give my regards as well to the proud father, who was such a layabout while you put up with carrying your bairne the whole time.

Alexandra Diana: very nice. How about Alexandra Diana BuckGB--I think it has a magical ring, don't you?

Congratulations you two! Alexandra Diana sounds like a very nice name to me, definitely not too strange, but still colorful. Maybe for a third name Anna? Perhaps that's too common, or too much a's (Alexandra Diana Anna), but it's the best I can think of right now... Or how about Beatrice! Or Barcelona! Alexandra Diana Barcelona!

I really don't mind the date Fourth of July. I'm not an American and I do not hold any special feelings towards that U.S. national day, and I guess that I just do not really associate that date with flags and stripes and bells and fireworks. I just like the ring to it, 'Fourth of July', and the date by itself. And at least she's born in July, that's a very nice month!
By the way, how did the delivery go?

Congrats to you both!

If it's any consolation, my best friend has July 4th for his birthday and it doesn't seem to have done him any harm...I'd say as long as you don't make her third name 'Liberty' or 'Freedom' you should be fine.

Hear! Hear!

Congrats to the both of you!!!

Welcome to the Parents Club!

July 4??? How appropriate... :laugh:

Regardless, it's still great to have your own bundle of joy.

Congratulations!

Congratulations! I hope you're happy, and the following months will be more endearing than exhausting

BTW, I seem to have heard that every person born on 4th July may get an instant visa to the U.S? Or am I mistaking something, guys?

I don't think you should add any "Liberty" or "Independence" as the third name: surely you don't want to give your child any wrong ideas...

Both chosen names have a dinstinct classical ring to them, so I suggest Julia as the third one. Or Juliet, if Silur is sentimental.

Alexandra Diana Julia.

Congratulations. I'm not good at names so I'll leave it at that.

Virginia is nice, too. Appropriate, given that Swedes are not noted for socialability, leading to numerous old virgins.

Congratulations, CE. May your daughter bring the greatest joys of your life.

holy moly

only CE and silur probably realize how much this blows my mind...

all i can say is WOW and GRATZ!!!!!

I was gonna suggest Sven Hoek until I saw it's gonna be a gurl!

I too wish to join in offering my congratulations to the parents

Thank you all for the congratulations as well as the suggestions!

Thank you! That's perfect. Taken! We'll register her name tomorrow.



I attach a horribly low quality but endearing photo of Alexandra in her favorite place. (I can already see she is soooo going to be Daddy's girl!)
