(Very minor spoilers for Wyrms and less minor spoilers for Moose Household)
While I don't know of any prophecies regarding me or my lineage, I have been thus far unable to provide an additional X chromosome. So yeah, the next Mooseling is going to be another boy. I'm experiencing a mixture of disappointment (I wanted a girl) and relief (I kinda already know what to do with boys).
So now we not only have to think of a real life boy's name, but another screenname as well. Suggestions are welcome, except that Bob_Scopatz is not allowed to suggest any version of Bob. Again. *smile*
Congratulations on your upcoming baby boy! I'm sure he will be a wonderful addition to your already fabulous household!

Well, Spider Robinson has a moose in one of his books, but I don't suppose you'd want to use that moose's name.

Back to reality, congratulations, and can't wait till your new little moosling arrives, no matter what his name is. I second bullwinkle, but am apposed to naming your child Bob, I'm pretty sure he'd figure out by 2 he was named in honor of Mr Traffic Safety from an internet message board.

(shouldn't the thread title be "where's an Angel when you need her??? ) *wink*
I'm sorry you didn't get your "daddy's girl" this time around, but you will have more chances!
Well, since you already have one boy named after one of my grandfathers (Carl), then I will suggest you name this one after my other grandfather (Cecil) - or you can use my great-grandfather's name (Frederick).
One of my favorite boys names is Merrill. If you name your son that, then your son and my hypothetical son will be namemates.

Some of my fave boy's names are James, Luke, and Jacob. But no shortening for James and Jacob.

Patrick it out - initials would be PMS (assuming the middle name of Michael, which this baby will probably have). We actually really liked Patrick Michael when we were discussing names for Superstation, but the initials ruled it out.
Peter is out - also for the initials
Jacob is out - Pop's nephew
Luke is out - I mentioned it, but it is not growing on Pop
James is out - I have two uncles named James
David is out - I have a cousin named David, and the name just doesn't jump out at me
Pop does want a longish name that can be shortened in some way.

Yes, I know. It's an old-fashioned name. But, my father was named Walter, called Walt by everyone. He was a good man, the most intelligent person I've ever known (book smart and common sense smart), and everyone liked him. Everyone.

John - two uncle John's and a cousin Jon, too many Johns
Brian - my step-brother
Joseph - my step-sister's ex (we actually considered this one last time anyway)
quote: Isaac Geoffery Michael - IGMS
Warren Michael was the other option for Mooselet. Maybe we will revisit that one. But how do you shorten Warren?

Name suggestions - um, not too short, mustn't start with P, possibility of nice nicknames...
Mathias Ethan William Robert Christopher Gregory Benjamin Alfred Lawrence I must second Nathaniel. There are not enough Nathaniels in this world. Love that name.

How about Jaime (James)? There needs to be more boys named Jaime so people won't think I'm a girl for the rest of my life when hearing my name And for a screenname, how about something with Hart in it, Hart being a name for a deer (going along with Squirrel and Moose theme) and part of a name of one of OSC's book Posts: 853 | Registered: Feb 2004

Jackson would work, and I like it, except for Jackson Michael does not work. Nathaniel, Benjamin, Alexander all sound good.

Nathaniel is a very nice name, and can be shortened twice to Nathan or Nate. As a plus, it's a very nice long name to use when angry. I wouldn't think Nathaniel Michael would be a good combo, though.
As far as screen names go, I vote for Bat Boy, maybe even Sasquatch/Bigfoot.
