Help[Opinions] Odds & Ends
In effort to conserve board space I've opted to make one all-encompassing post about all the name stuff swirling around in my head as opposed to four one- or two-sentence long posts.
New Baby
My cousin had her first child, a son named Tristan Kane. (The spelling is unconfirmed.)
Expected Baby
A couple who are acquaintances of mine are expecting their first child. The baby, a girl, is not due for several more months but they've already selected a name, Katherine Margaret nn Kate/Katie.
Prospective Names for Expected Baby
Another acquaintance of mine is pregnant as well. For a son she and her husband have decided on Charles nn Charlie, her father's name. For a girl they're debating between Petra, a name her husband adores, and Quinlan, a family name they also considered for a son before agreeing on Charles.
Name Nerd Mini-Rant
The other day I was reading an article about a woman who was born a man. She had chosen the name Julie for various reasons one of which was because it is "a feminine form of John," her birth name. What? Why would anyone think Julie and John are related? Because they both start with J? Can't you, article featuree, think of any male J name that resembles Julie more than John and vice versa?!
