> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Geobabe \* > It’s no more than I’ve had to put up with my whole life–my first name is Lisë, pronounced like “Lisa”. Do you think anybody can get my name right? I’m used to it now. Good thing I usually just use people’s screen names, else you’d be about ready to punch me by now for mispronouncing your name.

O.K., here’s my idea for a name for the baby. I figure this will be the third Doper baby (after MsRobyn and Airman Doors, USAF’s child and Montfort and Anniz’s soon-expected child). So naturally the third baby should be called . . . OpalCat. ---

**Montfort** and **Anniz** haven’t been spending much time on the boards lately, so it’s not too surprising you missed it. She’s just a little bit further along than I am. > [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Wendell Wagner \* > \*\*O.K., here’s my idea for a name for the baby.

cat is a good nickname for catriona…is it a race then for 2nd and 3rd baby? there is a rather good book for gaelic names (if that is how you are leaning) called “beyond shannon and sean.” i have a friend who has a son seamus, they call him shammy. ---

Congratulations, **GeoBabe** and **Uncle Bill**! I’m not a superstar around here like you two are (a lurker mostly), but I hope my best wishes warm your hearts. You are so lucky to be expecting! Hope everything goes smoothly. Babies are the most worthwhile thing in the world. ---
