1. Is it hard to read or spell? Is the child going to be asked often how to pronounce or spell his name? 2. Does it suit your personality? If you love outdoors and hominess, stick with a simple name like Susan, Joshua, Melissa, Lily, James, Johnny, etc. If you are upper class and send all your children to private schools and enjoy the arts, think about more sophisticated names like Charlotte, Annissa, Sophia, Bradley, Chandler, etc. If you are into yoga and herbs and such, go with something like Reyne, Cloud, Aspen, Apple, Gigi, Cocoa, Velvet, etc. If you are traditional or sentimental, go with names from your family or traditional names like Susan, Violet, Vivian, Rose, Ida, Carol, Henry, Jack (also a timeless favorite), Glen, Roy, Jean, Joan, etc. If you are just in the middle / average, go with an average name like Matt, Scott, Adam, Anna, Tracy, Brady, Thomas, Susan, Cathy, Eve, Wendy, etc. If you are flamboyant, choose a far out name like Raya, Ginger, Candy, Kiki, Bebe, Lavendar, Man, Dylan, Dash, Cash, etc. You get the picture. My husband and I are just country, plain, downhome people, so we decided to choose names that depict who we are Travis, J. T., and Ada Taylor, for instance. My stepson is Conlan, and no one gets it right. That just isn`t a name I`d ever recommend to anyone with a boy. It`s too, `Don`t get my hands dirty` and hard for people to get. Remember: some names are so common they`re too common, like Aiden and Katie and Jennifer and James.

I had names for my future kids picked in JR High. Makayla Jean and Jacob Scott. Makayla won for our 1st and for our son we went with family last names Myrick Lyons. We have NO idea what to name this one. It depends on where you want Lynn to go. Look at some of the names on the polls and figure out if they sound good or not.

We ended up going with names of loved ones just changed a bit. For a girl we went with Kayleigh Rose after my grandmother Kathleen and Grandfather Roosevelt. A boy was Anthony after my husband and we went with Blake because neither would settle for Blaine or Lane. You just have to go with what you love. It may take a while. It tooks us months. Lynn is something you can do a lot with. Like Kaylyn or Katlyn....

My husband and I just sat down with the baby names book, and wrote down the names we each liked. Then we compared lists and went from there. Wasn`t difficult the first time. This time, we aren`t agreeing on a boy`s name. Thankfully we still have a few months to decide. :)

Pretty much anything with Lynn has a country sound to me. My sister`s name is Lisa Lynn. Anyway, you could put an important family name in front of it. Even a boy`s name can sound nice in front of Lynn.

I want her to have a `country girl` name...if you have any tips please let me know!!! Her daddy and my middle names are both Lynn, so maybe something with Lynn in it...???

  1. I`ve re-thought the moderating of the member-postings. How does this sound? Let`s change it to usage, rather than length of time as a member. Say your first 10 or 20 polls, questions and pictures need to be approved by a Mod or something like that. Someone posting the racist polls and adding the kiddie porn is unlikely to participate as a normal member. Once you are verified as a regular member you`re no longer monitored.
  2. How long did it take you to get pregnant after you got your IUD (Mirena) out?
  3. Twilight valentines for 7 year olds... appropriate or not? DD received a valentine with a very... sultry smoldery Edward on the front and I was just kind of surprised that anyone would buy those for 7 year olds? I know I`m on the conservative side in general on those kinds of things, but this really surprised me!
  4. My daughter is almost 5 months and 3 weeks ago my hair started falling out. I know it`s normal but how long did it last for you?
  5. With all the issues going on with the site maybe we need an updated list on Mods. Obviously Laura is the one to go to but if there is a concern and it needs immediate attention and a Mod is online it may be good to know who is who so you can reach out to them. Mods, can you please post here so we know who you are. (Esp since some profiles names had to be changed because of recent log on issues)
  6. Anyone wanna try http://parentspuzzlepieces.spruz.com/ a free community site I just made? Let me know if you want the password and would want to help add things to it!!
  7. I think with all the posting issues IAP needs to appoint someone to verify all pictures, polls, questions, etc that are posted by new members. Sure, it`ll probably make things slower, but something needs to be done! Many websites have this installed and IAP needs it as well. Members that have been on the site for a certain time can be exempt, but if you are a new member, posts should be monitored. I`m going to copy this suggestoin to Laura and if you agree you should too!! :)
  8. MODS ~ please help me in monitoring the photo pages and other pages. Horrific porn was posted in photos sections and they need to be deleted as soon as they are seen. I reported it to Laura also. TX!!
  9. my 4 yr old has 3 planter warts on his foot,.. any home remedies gals or is this a dr visit?
  10. ok ladies, sry its long but i really need some advice, a year ago my 5 yr old brother was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, over the last year my mom has had a hard time dealing with his diagnosis because there is no cure and all she can do is give him 5 insulin shots a day to keep him alive, she looks at it like march 13th 2011 was the death of her healthy little boy and she woke up with this sick child, well i always tell her she needs to go to counseling to learn how to cope with this but lately i`m more worried about my baby brother, he came home the other day from kindergarten and had a picture of a red headed boy with a knife, 3 people under the ground dead and another one on top of the ground covered in blood, he recently grabbed one of my 15 yr old brother`s pocket knives out and started swinging it at my older brother because they were fighting, and then he told my mother he wanted to be a serial killer when he grows up! he has said before that he wishes he would die, that he didn`t want to wake up the next morning,.....
