Cheerz ma good friends! :) .... believe it or not me and Charley been agonisin' over what names to give the bairn whether it's a girl or a boy... Our little Gemmi (Amy, but we call her that cos she's a little jewel y' knaa?) keeps wishin' for a little brother! She nevva stops asking us.... but ah'm so glad Gemmi's bein' so good aboot it an' all - she's an absolute pearl!

In reply to your question Mickey Rocker, ah just been real busy with all the preparations an' stuff... managed to at least afford meself (with a coupla me best mates) a great weekend in Blackpool just this last Saturday an' Sunday catchin' up on loads of old PUNK and SKIN / OI! bands like The Exploited, UK Subs, The Business, Anti-Nowhere League and of course The DEAD KENNEDYS - fookin' fantastic time we all had.... and what's even more unbelievable was, we found out later that Marty was there with his own band (he did a write-up of the Sunday on his own forum), but we never managed to meet up an' missed each other completely simply cos there were so many punters there - something like over 5,000 punks and skins - what a bummer.....but a fookin' brilliant weekend nevertheless, ah'm tellin' ya! :) :)

Still, like ah said, that's all the fun for the time bein', now it's gettin' down to the nitty gritty of linin' the nursery ready for darlin' number two.... an' ah'm gettin' nervous that's fer sure! Ah'll try an' pop in now and then, just to keep yer all informed! ;)

what were dead kennedys like without JB.. who sings?

Ah....it was reet weird ah can tell ya - at the beginnin' we were really suspect aboot the whole idea of the Kennedys reformin' withoot the Mighty Biafra.... a new guy called BRANDO CRUZ - a bit younger obviously - took his place.....and the fookin' weird thing was, he actually carried it off okay! Of course, no one could ever match Jello, but this new bloke did a respectable job of it.....I mean, their performance was no less intense - the whole set was like 500 miles an hour! They must have done aboot 18 songs in 75 minutes or summat - including their "hits".... The crowd went bananas man! Klaus Flouride was so grey he looked like he was some refugee from Wire! We all had a greet time tho! It was definitely worth it...! :)

Well ShugZiVah me aad radgie, me an' Charley have been playin' aboot with a few names for if it's a boy and if it's a girl.... sorry ta say that Hughie or Shug isn't any of them ;) Names include: (boy) - Alex, Thomas, Joseph, Mark, Jon(athan), Damien, Adam, Daniel, Ben, Clinton, Owen.... (girl) - Emma, Katie, Samantha, Zoe, Crystal (!!!!), Sarah, AnneMarie, Jennifer, Helena, Miranda....

Believe me man, it's fookin' agonising tryin' ta come to grips with all this!

Next Easy Sprog will be called Helena. I'm not allowed to call her Crystal :) Though if it's a boy he gets called Barney (or Bernard Stephen Peter).

Originally posted by ShugZV Clinton Have you been on the Special brew?Crystal is good fer obvious reasons......Samantha and Mark are good......but Damien? you have been drinking matey:D

Funny yer should mention those - Clinton and Damien are actually Charley's suggestions!! I'm hopin' that they don't get picked for the shortlist, otherwise.....well I wouldn't like to think actually! ;)

And for your information me lad - yes, ah have been drinkin' - far more than usual these past few weeks man!

Spookily enough the missus' nephew has the last name on each of those lists, if that makes sense. He was named after St. Michael, Miranda being his surname.

How about the name Kimberly, if it is a girl? People for some odd, strange reason tell me what a beautiful name it is! It was quite popular in the 70's but isn't being used as often anymore. As for boy names, I like the name Riley Scott, and for girls I like the name McKenna Marie! That is always the fun and stressful part of a new child. When we had my daughter Ashley Elaine, I had that name picked for her, and my husband wanted to name her Morgan Rose. He was deadset on naming her that until he looked at her and said that she looked like an Ashley! I am so excited for you and Charley. Good luck! Make sure you let us know when your bundle of joy gets here! :\party:

Well Kimberly, my sister named her daughter Riley, so that name seems to work for females as well.

Green! Yeah, Riley works well for both girls and boys. It is getting to be more popular with girls though! :D

Well me jolly folkies, it seems that over the past few days we've suddenly been brainstormin' like there's no tomorrow and the respective lists of names have snowballed somethin' rotten - with a few new suggestions takin' the place of a few we've now discarded!!!!

This is how the list now appears .....

Boy's names - Alex, Thomas, Shaun / Sean, Iain, Anthony, Joseph, Mark, Cameron, Ewan / Ewen, Adam, Daniel, Ben, Kyle, Joel, Owen....

Girl's names - Emma, Katie, Gaby, Samantha, Zoë, Toni / Antonia, Adele, Kirsty, Alicia, Siobhan, Chloe, Crystal (!!!!), Sarah, Anne-Marie, Danielle, Lisa-Anne, Sarah-Anne, Jennifer, Helena, Miranda....

....crikey!!....someone wake me up when it's over!

Frasier Campbell Mickle it is then.....thanks Shugglet!

Ah knew ah could always rely on ye's....

By the way - ah though ye were supposed ta be MOVIN' HOOSE ye little trollop!! Ah take it ye havvint called in at Martian's place then - there's still naa trace o' th' guy since he did a runner last Thursday.....

TIMS get voted out of BIG BROTHER too me old mucker. Should call the baby MICHAEL or if a little lass...WAYNETTA! :D

Sorry TINY!:D Hows your grandparents doing with you there? You are not leading them astray now ,are you?Cup of COCOA is it?More likely a quart of WHISKEY!BALDERS said he is GLAD you have gone!

Any particular reason my friend? Is it cos of the "Shove" bit in it?? ;)

Quite right too....ah've also noticed that we've put in quite a few Irish names there then - ah suppose that was inevitable cos I am part-descended from an Irish clan as well and I presently have an Aunt and Uncle livin' just ootside Dublin ... ;)

alicia? are you serious? i hated that name for the longest time. oh well. hey do you know any alicias? ;)

chloe is a nice name. why don't you try Evan for a boy's name. oh, i'm bad, i'm making it harder for you now :evil:

what i would do is choose a name that isn't REALLY popular. think what it would do if your named your kid david and he walks in a room full of davids? try that, it should shorten the list somewhat.

Ye have ta bear in mind that not all of these choices are mine darlin' - Charley suggests half of the list as well - ah already drew the line at Damien for obvious reasons...! It's always ganna be a matter of personal preference.... But then ageen...it could all change once more tomorra!! ;)

Shite - ah really must get ta bed noo - too many late neets aal of a sudden...

If your having trouble with a name m8, 'Chelsea' is always good for a boy or a girl....best of luck.

A or B ??

A girl: Sunshine

A boy: Cloudburst

Huntsman, are you Frank Zappa?

NOT TO BE CONFUSED WITH Rocket:D

AVOID ALL BOYS NAMES BEGINNING WITH D - I had a naughty boys class once where almost all the boys had D names: Danny (x2), Daniel, Donald, Deniz (Turkish Dennis), Dwayne. The others were 2 Jamie's and a James. Years of experience tell me that Dannys are the most naughty, although most Daniels are OK

This is how lessons were with 8a4

OH i thought so cos i was told at school it was R and i was called RICHARD or DICK but they weren't VERY good at spelling.:D

That's okay Flo - as it is, Daniel (or even Danielle fer that matter) is very low down on our list o' favourites now, almost on the verge o' bein' chucked altagether!

Girl's - Gaby, Zoë, Adele, Kirsty, Alicia, Chloe, Crystal, Sarah, Danielle, Miranda

...but the agony continues.....oh maaan.....

Well I quite liked Ewan but Charley thought it was more McColl (the late Kirsty's also late father) than McGregor, so that one had to go.... Ben was another one - but then it's short for Benjamin which I don't like cos it's got too many syllables and sounds too toffish.... Kirsty and Miranda were the two girls names I wanted to keep cos one of them rhymes with verandah and the other with thirsty...... ;)

well, you could call your kid benjamin on his birth certificate but everyone can call him ben!:D

so what are you down to? are you gonna name it after someone or just trying to find one that sounds good. kristy hubert. ben hubert. ewan hubert (nah, that sounds silly) anyways, i'm sure you'll find something. good luck.
