I was thinking about making a fun and short-lived thread about my brother's unborn kid and have people predict the gender. I thought collecting tallys until the gender's finally revealed might be fun. Name suggestions would also be welcome, and after a few weeks I'll come back to reveal the gender and which candidate names were chosen.
Does that sound okay?

Oh yeah, I forgot.
My tally goes to it being a boy, and I think Luca is a pretty good name.

I'll put my tally towards a girl and say that Avery is a nice name :)

I think girl :) And Alice is cute ^-^

Hrmmmm I'm going to say boy, and my pitch for the name would probably be "Artemis". (Love that name)

Gender: Boy! Name: Maximus!

>>5>>6 I pity you guys' future kids.

>>5 Isn't Artemis a girl's name?

>>6 Actually, my brother would probably like that one.

>>8 It was the Greek Goddess of hunting but it can be used for both genders. It really affiliates with my child hood because I used to be really into Greek Myths and a series called "Artemis Fowl" So it's actually probably more of a memory biased selection than anything.

>>9 Aww~ Well if my bro doesn't decide in that name, I'll at least get my future nephew/niece the series. :) That, and Lemony Snicket.

Axel

>>11 Is your vote boy or girl? Cuz I think that name can go either way.

Bump

I think it's a......boy. And you should name him Leo. :)

I'm gonna go with girl. Name?...Angela

i think it's a girl, name alice

Boy, Maximilian

I'm really bad at deciding between things so if it's a girl Sue and if it's a boy Kai.(^___^*)

Axel means Father of Peace. So I vote for Axel.

>>19 You already said that. ^_^' but its good to know what the meaning is. =)

Or Stormageddedon. (Doctor Who for the win.)

>>21 I second Stormageddon!
& it'll be a girl.

Bump. And real names please.

Hmmm. It will be a boy and is named Noland.

if its a girl Heidi and if its a boy travis

I have a liking to the name Chase for a boy, and Lily for a girl. :)

Aiden for a boy, and Emily for a girl :)

Guys, you're doing it wrong.
You have to CHOOSE a gender, and then if you want, give a name.
It's supposed to be like a betting system on what gender it'll be.

alright! I ssay girl and name willl be Verity, which means truth in some way

Female p: I'll think of a good name later.

bump
(You have to CHOOSE a gender, and then if you want, give a name.
It's supposed to be like a betting system on what the gender of the baby will be. If you give me both genders and two names or only a name suggesstion, you won't be considered.)

>>30
where i live, Verity is a credit union lol

I say Girl!
Ruby

Boy
Lars (I don't see much people with this name 8) )

Boy, Knox.

I'd say girl and i've always liked the name Alice

Too tough to tally either way...

For boy, I like the nane Siegfried

For a girl, Aria

>>37 You have to choose. Otherwise I wont take your names into consideration.

It's a betting system, you HAVE. TO. CHOOSE.

Edward for boy, Jenny for a girl

oh, I choose boy!

Chandra for girl (which means shinning moon) and Caspian for a boy (the place or from the Narnia book)
And I say it's gonna be a boy!!!

there is a 52% chance it will be a girl

Ooh, hope it's a boy!
How about Andrew? I know it's common but it's a really cool name. Plus it means man/warrior/strong

Girl

I think it will be a boy. I really, really like the name Rowan.

Hmmm.... Maybe a boy?
I like the name Isaac.

Name it Shannon. Then gender doesn't matter.

>>47 That's OBVIOUSLY a girl's name. You can't name a boy Shannon! Not to mention, the woman who's having the baby is named Shannon!

>>48 Shannon can also be a boy's name, here in Australia we have a famous male singer called Shannon Noll. Although it would be interesting to name a son after their mother....but not that there's anything wrong with that!

Oh, and I think it'll be a boy. :)
I like Louis personally, and if it's a girl then Ayla

>>49 You know, I thought that might be it. Thanks for clearin that up, and my apologies to >>47.

>>50 Now is that Louis said like Loo-ee? Or Loo-ees?

>>51
Louise = loo-EEz or loo-EEs
Louis = loo-EE or loo-is

>>50 As much as I love the name Ayla, the few people I've met with that name ended up, uh, off-kilter, and eventually changed their name. I don't suggest it as a birth name.

>>48 Pfft, that would be funny. "Hi, my name is Shannon. My mum's name is also Shannon". Also, Shannon is an androgynous name, leaning towards masculine.

Anyway, androgynous names are fun, since gender doesn't matter.
Tracy/Tracey, Leslie, Ash/Ashley/Ashleigh, Shannon, Riley.

Girl.
Name: Danielle or Elizabeth/Liz

okaaayyy i think girl and Alesana

>>53 I have never heard of a male Ashley or Tracey

>>56 I think... I think I might have heard of a male Tracey.
But yeah, Ashley? Hell no.
Lemme be more clear about this y'all; I live in America, so any androgynous name overseas is usually just considered female over here. Except Taylor. But yeah, you can search all you want, there are no (straight) male Shannons or Ashleys. Especially Ashleys.

Boy- Ashtun

>>57 >>56

Ashley is actually a very common boy's name in Britain.

But yeah, you're American, so that wouldn't be a great suggestion for a guy.

>>57 I have a male Ashley in my neighborhood... And I THINK he's straight... But I don't think I've ever actually met a male Shannon.

bump

still dont know the gender yet, so bumping.

Last bump since the gender will be known this week.

Hey did you have a top 5 names yet? I really hope you don't go the easy way and pick John (boy) or Jane (girl), pick a name that will have impact on the future. Like Optimus prime. (Joking)

I'm bumping it to gather more names. We'll decide top ten by the end of this week when we know the gender.

five*

>>65 Can i ask what the last name of the child will be first, cuz i feel like i want to contribute a name that rolls off the tongue XD

>>67 Oh wow. 0.0 Didn't even think about it.

Morales (More-al-es)

Girl

Bump

Bump

>>71 Thanks

>>68 Alright so heres my list
Boy:
Alex, Jacob, Connor, Michael.

Girl: Alexis, Elizabeth, Roseali (or just Rose), Jennifer.

Anyways that's my list from the best i could think of. Anyways congratulations to your brother and whomever the lucky lady is :)

>>74 Thank you very much :) ...But you are supposed to choose a gender, it's the rules that I put in the OP, you see? All the names will be considered, but you must choose a gender.
(Thank you for so many names; Roseali is now my personal favorite.<3)

ok well ill vote girl since roseli is what i wanna name my daughter one day.

Girl, and Vivian is a really pretty name. <3 (although Roseali is cuteee)
