baby names

[flea]

Born this morning to Sara: Jane Bramlett (family name). Siblings are Ellen and Alexander. I want to run over and see her but am not sure how to find out the hospital room number.

There is a new baby in Dillo's room at school: Bryn. Now with Myles and Ayden, there are 3 children with extraneous Ys in their names in his class of 8 (other kids are Miriam, Savannah, Lily, and Alexa). (I mean, I guess Y is integral to Bryn, which I think means "high/tall" in Welsh. I assume Bryn is a girl - I haven't seen her yet.)

I was talking to a friend last night and she mentioned the timing of a future possible child. I realized that when Dillo was born I was thinking of having a third 2 years after the second - which would mean I would be conceiving potential 3rd child this fall, already! Yikes. No. I am definitely not going to conceive any more children until mr. flea has a defended dissertation. I am back on the fence about having a third - right after Dillo was born I was really gung ho and right now I am not so much. But then baby Jane being born today has got me thinking about it again. I turn 35 this September, so if we waited 2.5-3 years after Dillo I would still only be 36 when possible 3rd baby would be born.

I think you're right that Bryn came by his/her Y honestly. On the other hand, Myryam and Lyly just aren't trying hard enough!

Alexa could do more, too - I knew a woman in college who went by Alyxx, though named Alexandra by her parents.

Yeah, the only time I've ever seen the name Brin is when it's attached to a comic book character who lives in the 31st century.
