The results are in.....I am having a ....

[Cataholic]

BOY!!!!


Yeah, yeah, yeah, it wasn't what I was secretly (okay, not so secretly) dreaming of, but, I tell you the moment the doctor confirmed it, I was like, "A boy..that is so cool"!!


Yippee! Everything else looked great, no signs of any abnormalities (other than the mother :D ). I am still on target for a 9/9 due date...that only gives us 19 weeks to come up with a name! Lilyana Grace, sadly, just won't do.

So, let the naming begin....any thoughts?

[davidpizzica]

How about "DAVID"? I'm sort of partial to that one ( on't ask me why ) lol lol

[trayi52]

Awww, its going to be a little Cataholic boy!! Congratulations!! Can't think of a name at all though.

Willie:)

Oh!!!!! A little BOY for Mommy Catapault! :D Yippee!!!! You can dress him in your favorite color........BLUE! :D Names? Hmmm...........maybe if you can tell us what names you've been thinking of, and we can help you choose from your list? Do you have one? Or have you been making a girl name list all this time? He he he!

I had a feeling it would be a Monte without fur.......... ;)

Ohhh..........didn't you tell me if you have a boy, you're going to name him Popcorn? :p *My Popcorn*, is getting a bit demanding right now, and saying you should do just that! He he! :D

[lbaker]

Boy or girl... at least you know the baby looks healthy and that's really all that matters :) Little girls are sweet and cute and fun to dress up and all but once they hit puberty.... lordamighty the eyes roll up at everything mom says. They can start whining and pouting and are embarrassed by everything in the home. I know that's years away but.... names? Let's think on it some {{{{ group thoughts group thoughts }}}} Congratulations dear Johanna. Stay well and get lots of rest.. (you're going to need it :rolleyes: )

[ramanth]

Oh Boy!! A BOY!!!

Uhh, all these decisions - picking a name would take me weeks, but you have a lot of time to think about it. ;) Pick one he can use anywhere in the world - without getting embarressed. :eek:

I found this site with lots and lots of names, have a look!

One of my friend's little sister was said to be a boy before she was born, but when she arrived, she turned out to be a girl!!! So although it is accurate on the most part, there are times when they turn out to be wrong. :p

[Jetta_Pup]

CONGRATS!!!

i have all boys and my 1st OMG since i found out it was a boy he was gonna be Christian and after i had him the nurse said "whats him name" i said Jakob...LOL when the right name comes you will know it.

[lovemyshiba]

Congrats!!!
A baby boy!!! How wonderful!!!

Two girls I work with, along with two of my cousins are pregnant right now, so I've been talking names with them all lately.
One of my cousins keeps hers a secret, so I don't know what she has decided for a boy, but my other cousin wants to go with Carter if she has a boy.
Some other names we all have been tossing around lately:
Jacob
Nathan
Nicholas
Ryan
Connor
Aiden
Matthew
Braden

[Vermontcat]

It's a BOY!!! :)
I think Sam is a good name!;)

By the way have you been feeling any kicks from the little one yet?

[Karen]

Benjamin (Binxamin!) ;) was my first thought for a boy name for you!





As you're a Johanna, I could list a mess of Swedish names from my Swedish Great-Grandma Johanna's sons (and other members of that branch):

Gustav
Frederick
Otto
Axel
and then there was Charles - last-born, and when they'd been in America for a while, so that one English name crept in!
Iver
Peter(Petyr)

[isis]

Congradulations! Wow, He may be born on my brothers birthday.:p And a day after Emma's.

I've always liked the names Connor, Carter, and Matthew, but thats just me. Anywho Good luck with the baby!:D

[Kater]

Congratulations, Johanna! A BOY, A BOY, A BOY! I think it's pretty darn cool as well. :D I'm very glad to hear that everything is progressing along just fine....9/9 is actually my Dad's birthday. We'll hope your son doesn't turn out like him though! ;)

Names...hmmm....I guess I'll just throw a few ideas out there. These are all names of guys I know and like. I guess these names are some of the more unusual variety.

Adrian
Berkeley
Bronson
Bryce
Brent

Daren/Darin/Darren/Darrin
Dean
Dimitri
Ethan

My Grandpa's name was Isaac, I always kinda like that for a boy.

Congratulations on the new man in the family! Like Pops says, a Monte without fur. :D :D

[Ally Cat's Mommy]

Yay Congrats!!!!

Hey - if you are 4 days early you will share a birthday with my Daughter Amber, and if you are 2 days late you will share with me!!!

The lil GUY has to LIVE with his name - forEVER -
Let's help Joh pick one he'll be *PROUD* to
sign on the bottom of a business letter;

"Phred" won't cut it! :cool: ;)

[AmberLee]

Brian
Matthew
Peter Thomas (a little P.T., awwwww ;) :p)
Daniel
Luke
...

Oh well, your list of names must be getting enormous! (But don't forget Lilyana Grace, in case the doctor's prediction's off!)

[anna_66]

Yipee! Your having a bouncing http://img14.photobucket.com/albums/v43/anna66/bcbbboy.gif!!!!

That's just wonderful Jo! I can't even begin to imagine how happy you are:D

Now as for boy names, I really like:
Michael & Marcus

[CountryWolf07]

Shane
Erik
Preston
Cameron

Paul
Andrew

......... guess I'm a traditional type of person!! :D :D

[Cincy'sMom]

Congrats Joh!!! Can I buy your son his first Bengal's outfit? Or maybe Bearcat if you prefer?

[Barbara]

Catgratulations!

You should be able to find a state name for your son:D

I won't mix in the name question as it is a cultural thing - I just have no idea how names sound in a different culture, which ones are old fashioned, or conservative, or modern, or cheap........

[bluekat]

A baby boy!:D Congratulations!!!

Some of my favorite boy names are: Tyler, Taylor, Daniel, Matthew, David, Josh(ua), Bryan, Cameron, Anthony...

[Edwina's Secretary]

Joseph. A solid, good name.

(or Louis if you do want to keep the states going!)

[Miss Meow]

Catboy!

Oh, OK, how about his middle name then? ;)

I like Karen's suggestion of Otto. Apart from liking the name, his initials will be OH, and that's a state!

Congratulations :D

[Cataholic]

WOW. You guys have come up with some very good suggestions!! I really like some of them...and, if worst comes to worst, I will just have a child with 15 names! I have a BIG feeling the md won't be wrong. Seems like the wrong part is usually when they say it is a girl, and out pops a boy. Something about the photo made even me, a non medical person, say, "yep, its a boy". Plus, I am moving full steam ahead with blue! My favorite colour in the world.

Let us ALL hope it is NOT a Monte without fur...one of us would be moving out....:D

[jazzcat]

Congrats!!!

A BOY!!!!!:)

LOL or Canadian;):p

My favorite color is also blue:D Pretty obvious though lol.

[Karen]

One more Swedish uncle - can't believe I forgot Uncle Emil! - (pronounced EE-ml)

Pssst - I've seen people suggest Taylor or Tyler - most of those I run into these days are girls, dunno if you're into gender-neutral names ...

;)

She's losing her American identity again. Oh dear. :p :D

Blue happens to be my favorite color too. :D Well........green and purple too, but I LOVE blue!

[captain]

Oh Johanna - Congratulations.

I remember when you told us you were having a bub, and everyone (well, almost everyone) was going GIRL, GIRL, GIRL!!!

I believe myself and Phred (That I remember ..??) were leaning towards the BOY thing .......... and voila!!!

BLUE is one of my favourites colours too!!!

As for names, I have a list at home of my fav. names, but the very first one ........... which will be my sons name if I have anything to say about it, is

Spencer ...


BUT I REALLY LOVE the name Stewart / Stuart ..... but hubbie HATES IT .

I have to say that boy names are very hard. You might change his names a few times. ;) I did with Prince. Of course that is something different, but...

:p

Keep us updated, and I can't wait to see pictures of him when he arrives!

[lbaker]

ANDREW, SOMEONE SAID ANDREW! That can only make me think of DRAKE! Drake is an great name for a child of yours. Maybe I'm just so in love with Drake I'm discomboobalated at the moment but DRAKE is a great name. But again, you will know when the time comes and you look into that face :cool: Do you realize that this wonderfull child of yours is going to have so many Dogmothers and Catmothers (not to get into GodParents) that he will be blessed and cared for by a whole community of LOVE! Oh what a happy day Joh! We love you :)

Gee, little Jack McDoodle wouldn't be beaten up at school or anything with that name! Classic :D

[CathyBogart]

I like the name Aiden. :) Brian may have a nephew by that name soon.

[Logan]

It's a boy!!!!! Yippee!!!! As I may have told you, Johanna, I was convinced that I was having a boy (not due to an ultrasound, just a gut feeling). Well, my mom told me, after viewing my ultrasound video, that it was a girl, and she was sure of it! How right she was!!!! What a blessing that girl was for me too!!!!

I love the names that are not heavily used. I chose "Helen" because every Helen I ever knew was very special, and we knew several, although most of them were older ladies. Our choice for a boy was "Thomas Chapman", which used the middle names of both of our fathers. I never did get that boy until Scott and I married and I inherieted Andrew Scott, who is a very special little boy!

You need to choose something that is special to you, whether it is in your family, or just a name, like Helen's that you love. Whatever it is, it will fit that little fellow perfectly, i'm sure. I'm so happy for you I could scream (but I won't, since my 13 year old "baby", Helen, is sleeping, as are all of her furry and feathered siblings. LOL!!!!

I'll be anxious to hear of your own ideas for a name for your bouncing, baby boy!!!!! :D

[shais_mom]

Congratulations Jo!!!!!

will have to think about Names!!!
And do ultrasounds are not always accurate!!!
Altho being able to see its a boy is easier then if its a girl..
My cousin and his wife KNEW they were having a girl, we had a shower with all pink, a cake that said welcome "Brooke Marie" everyone got Dresses for her...... And Matthew Alan came out!!! Brooke was about 3 years later!

[krazyaboutkatz]

Bryan
Brett
Nicholas

[All Creatures Great And Small]

I had planned to name Laura "Kevin" if she had been a boy - I just like the name. I think Brian, Matt(hew), Scott, Dan(iel), Michael (Mike), are all good names too. I'm with Phred on not picking anything too trendy - the "classics" stand the test of time, don't have to be spelled for everybody, and work well on 8 month olds and 80 year olds.

You could name him Johann, and have a "Joh Junior"......:D

[sirrahved]

Tobias. That's my fave boy name!

[Lillycat]

hmmmm....so many lovely names listed.....wasnt it randi that mentioned an important thought.....a name that can be lived with.........need to keep that in mind.... now on to some of the names i liked from the great "list" offered.....aaron, spencer, anthony ( i added that one...grandma"s can do that) jacob ( i looove jake), nicholas......more to come i think! my favorites as of this moment......anthony and jacob.......

[Barbara]

Lillycat, now we see what we have to do to get you back:D

Little catboy will bring lots of entertainment to your life:)

[Lillycat]

good morning to you too! actually, i am home barely recovering from a vile strep throat.....so was spending a few minutes at pettalk......but the baby really is exciting and helping to care for this newest grandchild will be coming full circle for me!

[Albea]

It's a boy!!!
http://media.1001.com/postcards/pix/0012/001201a.gif

Two old fashion names nobody has mentioned so far are Edward and George.

[robinh]

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!

I am so happy for you! When my son was born, I tried to find a name that would go with our complicated last name. We came up with "Kevin Mark". But, I'll agree that you'll know the name is right when you see the baby.

[Stenograsaurus]

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!! Well it looks like that Ancient Chinese Gender Charter failed us both. Can we start a class action suit against them? :D Since I won't be needing my boy names, I'll tell you what they were.
Austin
Garrett

I also love these names but couldn't use them for other reasons:
Luke
Jacob
Jordan (reminded me of the Jordan River)
Caleb


(Oh, and they moved my due date up to the 9th also!!!!! :eek: ) The first thing I said was, I will not have my baby on 9/11!!!! Then I said, hey, that's the same day that Johanna is due!!!

[Cataholic]

Beth- we are due the same day!!!! OMG...how totally cool. I can't believe it!! Now, answer my pm, dern it! :D

[Stenograsaurus]

I do not see a PM!!!!

[Cataholic]

Well, that would explain a few things....

[Kfamr]

I think a boy would be much easier than a girl! :p


Names?

Adam
Adrian
Barrett
Beau
Caleb
Cole
Damian(or Damien)
Daryl
Eamon
Elliot
Floyd
Fletcher
Gadon
Gordon
Hayden
Hugh


and i'll shut up now. ;x

[Logan]

Hugh is a GREAT name!!!!! Thanks for remembering that, KayAnn!!! :) I speak from authority. My grandfather, my father and my brother are all named "Hugh". My brother goes by "Chip", but my grandfather and my father were "Hugh" and "Hugh Jr", respectively. My grandfather died in 1990 at 86 years old, and people who have known my dad for years still call him "Hugh Jr". LOL!! :)

[luckies4me]

Congratulations! :D I have a few things for you too, so if you want to PM me your address I can send them out in a few weeks. :)


How about Dylan? :D

[slleipnir]

I know! How about Pot Leaf. No, no, I'm going to name my first born child that...so you can't have it! lol, no I'm kidding. I'm not going to have children silly.

[CamCamPup33]

Ohhh A BOY!!

Congrats!

I was just at the hospital last night, my aunt just had her baby!! :D Sorry off topic :X

Anyway, i always have loved the name...

Julian Micheal..

I think it's adorable.. lol :p

[carole]

From my personal experience having one of each, boys are much cheaper, they don't usually need or want make-up, need bras, the list goes on and on, and then when its easter and xmas they like to get presents for all their little friends, boys usually don't bother at least until they are older and want to impress the girls.

Boy's are different , in their way of thinking, acting, etc etc, but you can have just a close a bond with a son as a daughter, (say's a mother who is missing her son so very much) I am really glad I had a son first, then was blessed with my girl,I have the best of both worlds.

Believe me Johanna you will love having a son.!!!!!!:)

[Tonya]

CONGRATULATIONS!

Here are a few names I like:

Adan
