Baby Names

So I have decided that the number one divorce causer among young couples having cvhildren has got to be naming their baby. Its the hardest thing I've ever done. With my son I made a list of names I liked, my ex looked it over said I like William, but not for a first name, I said, hey, me too, so that became his middle name. Then he said he liked Samuel and Blake. So we sent out a poll to our closest friends, and one day he was talking to my belly and said "hello little Sammy...or Blake" and he thus became Sam, which is awesome because my dad's nickname was Sam as a kid and that just totally sealed the deal.
Now as I am expecting my second child, That I swore I already ha a fricken name picke for last december, it is the biggest point ofstress in my life. Moving in like 24 hrs because of ass hole landlords I can handle, dealing with being hugely preggo and unemploye, totally doable (did that with sam) but trying to calmly decide on a name in cooperation witht he father of my child is going to drive me insane, or put me into pre term labor. Our fight last night (that I admit is my hormonal fault right there) ends with a snotty text from him telling me to name the baby whatever I want. Yeah right, sounds easy enough, but will it actually happen that way? Uh, NO. so now I play the waiting game. I wait to see when he brings it up and just try to find names we both might like until then. So any names that do not start with "V" and cannot be easily made fun of would be much appriciated...

Babycenter.com

Ok, I will start with a disclaimer that I realize this is an internet forum and that it is unimportant as all the women on it are strangers to me.

Now, I am upset because our October 2012 birht borad has ben disrupted repeatedly in the last month. Since our new group owners have taken over the board has gone to hell. It went so far as to have 2 rival faction break off to form their own groups, saddly this is not where it ended. Ok, so a little back story here. there is a person whose screen name I will not use as it is her real name and I dont want to post her for the whole world to see, but other members on the board refer to her as "queenie" or the princess and everyone know who they are talking about. She was always super sweet and supportive and never did or said anything that would cause you to dislike her, so some people took and instant disliking to her, such is the way if the world. I was originally on her side and could not fathom why some people hated her so much. I personally liked her and looked forward to her weekly post saying his is our week, as we share a due date. However, when the board split I was upset because my favorite drma makers (and it was not really drama by my standards simply good sarcasim most if the time) had left for the uncensored board, while the "rainbow group" stuck around to post both on our board and their "no dramam mama" board. Now I have been told that the princess has gotten her rainbows group to repeatedly report every post, whether a violation of babycenter rules ro not, in an effort to get people they did not like banned. This annoys me. Because its just so much bull shit. So this results in team 2 losing a member. Tink (i cant recall ehr full screen name) was banned even though she never posted a violation. Now I will say that there have been times that i thought tink was being an ass and may havereported these comments myself, but I report people that are trully out of line only. So now afer not really being online for a few days i come in to see that the babycenter staff has called attention to our group, Yikes, however they are not really helping the situation, and everytime someone asks questions and demands answers they copy and paste answers in reply that do not really answer any questions, while they may VAGUELY address a concern its like listening to a 3 yr old argue with himself. So afetr 160 coments on the Baby center staff post of them talking in circles I got a little angry., I will ad mit this, I accused them privately in a report ( i actually reported a babycenter staff member that logged on and commented defending the staff for vague answers) of conducting a circle jerk and publicly told them to fuck off. I have been very careful to be liek switzerland and not take a side here, but I cannot stand hypocrits being in charge, they drive me crazy. So I will see how long my public eff you stands and hope they dont ban me for itm though since i have never had a violation before I'm not sure how they could do so. Ugg.
