Names, and links...

Well, we've settled on a name for the boy.

At least a first name:

Samuel.

Likely to end up Samuel Jameson, but that may change.

Other than that, DW has hit the pregancy wall. She is ready to be done with being pregnant. Five weeks to go!


On another note, you may notice my extensive list of blog links over there ----->

Many of you maintain a similar list. Some of you (where I visit regularly, and even post) do NOT have me on your list. I must say I am very slighted, hurt, and generally cry myself to sleep each night, wondering how I can get on Bob's list. At any rate, take this new point in the year to look at your list, and purge the old ones (I think only Nailbone and Wheezy are inactive on my list), and add any of your *new* favorites that you love to visit. *ahemMeemo'sblogahem*

And yes, I am a desperate attention whore.

LOL, I will see if you are on my list and if not, I will add you right away, top billing...

And Meemo, I love traditional names. They are timeless. Like Coco, I am not super fond of last names as first names. As for Samuel? I adore it! It is a solid name. Perfect for a little boy and a grown man. Well done!

When is Mrs Meemo's due date?

kevingrout said...

oooh! Top billing? I'm gonna hold you to that :-)

And the due date is Feb. 16. Same day as Little Miss Meemo's birthday - 2 years later.

Coco said...

Samuel is great- I agree with Monsty, 100%.

As soon as I get smart enough to add links, I swear I will put you in.

momma said...

I like Samuel, also. Good luck to Mrs. Meemo!!!

And, Feb 19th is Rotten1's bday.

Also, I will add you to my list. *slinks away ashamed*

Zombs said...

Samuel is wonderful! In fact it was on our short list of names. Good nickname if you decide to go that way too.

I am a traditional name lover too.

I find it very weird that the first 6 weeks of having the new baby go by so much faster than the last 6 weeks of pregnancy.

I will link you once I go back to linking people. I am so far behind that. I think I still need to link Swami, Jen etc.

I quote: "I must say I am very slighted, hurt, and generally cry myself to sleep each night, wondering how I can get on" MEEMO's list.

Samuel Jameson is a super name!

Jen said...

I love the name Jameson. You should make that the first name. :)

I'm too lazy to do links. That's what Carey's blog is for!

Swami said...

Samuel is a great name! I like traditional names for boys while anything goes for girls. I like Old Testament names for boys.

Maybe you will get a little Valentine...

I like Samuel! For some reason, it conjures up the thoughts of the brothers on Legends of the Fall. Samuel was a good man. He lost the lady, but eh, what ya gonna do?

You are so good to do links. Nookie is my only linkage. And it took me like an hour to do that.

kevingrout said...

Puffy: Ummm.... you were there. Blogger must have removed you somehow. Yeah, that's it. It's blogger's fault. :-)

Swami: If he comes on Valentine's day, we're going to name him Valentino Heartbreaker ;-)

And thanks for all of your support and advice on the name. It's the name of my great-grandfather, so we're tying in family heritage, but it's also a classic that we really like. And Samuel and Madeleine make a nice set.

What Jen said, I'm too lazy to do links. That's what HD's blog is for.

mm said...

I *love* the "Samuel Jameson" combo!

And I? Have had you linked for a long time now. I think Bob is very mean.

Lasann said...

I don't know how to link. If someone would take the time to edumacate me on this!

Samuel and Madeleine - those are perfect names. Will you shorten them?

Seriously, when I was pregnant I told everyone that I needed a name that could flow with: ???, get your ass in here. Hence the Ryan and Kevin (which I didn't realize were proud Irish names!)

Thanks for the link!!!

Schnookie said...

I LOVE the name Samuel.

Sorry Meemo. I'm a lazy-ass when it comes to linkage. The only reason Bob is linked on my blog is because I was trying to guilt her into linking me on her blog LOL.

Bravie said...

I just want to say that you have always been linked on my log. *proud grin*

mtw said...

Just cuz I don't think you deserve to get on Bob's list just yet doesn't mean I don't have you linked to *me*. ;-)

You've only asked her once (this post here). I had to hint several times and ask outright once or twice. She can't be had that easily. You need to work harder and be a little more patient! :D

MTW <--doesn't even have a "Bob stick figure" sigpic!

HistoryDetective said...

You've always been on my list!

Your'e right, thought, that it is time to weed through some of the links and start an "inactive or rarely active" list.

Kimmah said...

I'm adding you to my list. My blog has been dead, but I've dusted it off as of today. THat's a hint, you see.

Samuel, is of course, the best baby name ever (well, for a boy). My Sam is more than happy to welcome another member to the Samuel Club.
