Names please
My little sister is having a baby. That makes me a zia!
She and my brother-in-law are going to be great parents. They’re super-cute, researching, reading, learning, preparing. They’ll have the best gadgets and gizmos. They’ll have the best aunt ever (except, of course, for my aunt). What they are still in need of is a name.
So, as my first, self-appointed duty, I’m embarking on a search to find good name suggestions for them. Here’s what I’m looking for:
Cool
Old-Fashioned
Interesting
Meaningful
They’re not finding out the gender, so we need names for both.
Ready…….GO!!!

Per your request, I pulled out my hilarious copy of Scottish Baby Names that Carl and I gleefully poured through when we were expecting both our son and daughter. Here are my suggestions:
Girl – Lilias, Sybilla, Joan, or Lorna
Boy- Bruce, Dougal, Magnus or Lachlan
Of course, what would really thrill me is if the child were to be a girl named Heather!

When are they due?
what’s wrong with Catmat – kinda quirky – different – won’t get mixed up with the kid in the next row in first grade – or Matcat even! No, the kids would change that to Mad Cat – let’s stay with Catmat! My vote is in – Big mama will kill me if i win!
