It's a full-scale invasion. Twins expected early next year.
That'll bump us from a family of 3 to 5. RayfordSteele Jr. will
be 18 months then.
Heaven help us. Did I mention that the house only has 2
bedrooms and is underwater on the mortgage? New
accommodations or renovations desperately
needed.
Name ideas are also a sticking point thus far...

Congratulations all around. |
|
|
How about palindromic names? Iain and nial, or anne and enna... |
|
|
Twins, what grand news. Yay. |
|
|
I suppose "Bun" and "Fishbone" are not options? |
|
|
That 'is' good news. Congratulations! |
|
|
You will be BUSY. Congratulations. |
|
|
double trouble - congrats... |
|
|
Surely you are not overlooking "Remington" and "Bethlehem", especially if the twins are fraternal rather than identical? |
|
|
Similarly, if you'd like to continue on an automotive theme (as with ray-FORD), Dodge, Chrysler, and Buick all make fine names. At least, my German shorthaired pointers all seemed to like them. |
|
|
The greatest thing about twins is that whenever it's *not*
your turn to change the baby's diaper, it's your turn to
change the other one. |
|
|
From experience: keep a diary. Your brain can't remember
it all. (Or won't; it may be a survival thing.) |
|
|
There's a gal in the wife's mom's facebook group who
named her twins Steele and Sterling. |
|
|
I've just poured over listings of the top 1000 popular
names for both sexes, and I worry for the next
generation. |

|
|
Yes - whatever you've poured over the listings will
make it difficult for the next generation to read. |

Thank you, m'lud. I very nearly said something regrettable*
until you slipped in and defused the situation with your
famous dry wit. |
|
|
* or 'typed something regrettable', pedanticularly
speaking** |
|
|
** or pedanticularly typing, if you wish |
|
|
// your famous dry wit.// Ah yes. One of my former
bosses once called me a shining wit. Mind you, he
also described himself as a binocular myologist. |
|
|
2 buns to help feed the family!! [++] |
|
|
Shiny things can be very dry; dry things, however, are
almost never shining. |
|
|
Update: Only 1 if by land. :-( The other invader turned tail and
fled. |
|
|
Mayhap 'twere a signalling error, perhaps a reflection to
double the lights in the Old North Church? |
|
|
But if it were real and a loss, my heartfelt condolences and
support. |
|
|
Better days to come, Rayford. We all share in your disappointment, but continue to be happy in your blessing. |
|

//Heaven help us. Did I mention that the house only

|
|
Have you considered adoption? If you can get
yourself adopted by a wealthy couple, you're set. |
|
|
I hear the Buchanans have plenty of space. No
signalling error. Baby B was about a week younger
than Baby A at one measurement. In such a
complicated, buggy product development process, it seems
that quality control has their hands full. |
|
|
Are they identical twins ? |
