Oh hehe, it's alright. And thank you so much! It's nerve wrecking and a lot has had to change to be sure that the baby is healthy and comes out into a safe and loving environment but it's well worth it. They will be due on July 2nd! And it's quite alright about the other, things happen. I've had to move on, but there are days harder than some. As for names, gosh..It's hard. As a kid I use to come up with them off the bat but it was so much easier back then, it was never permanent. My Fiance' wants to name them Dante if it's a boy (Bless him, but he's too much of a gamer...) but I'm not really..for it. Needless to say it's been a struggle coming up with a name.

Dante if it's a boy, eh? Tell him to put DMC down! Better than mine though, I'll give him that. I'd have picked James (boy) & Lily (girl). But not if I have BOTH a boy and a girl otherwise they might resent me later on.
I'd stick with a name that can at the very least can be shortened down to one or two syllables....you know, so you can yell at them from across the house.

Haha, that's what I told him. He said it would be a badass name, but what if my kid isn't exactly badass and one of the ones who excels through school? (I'll love him anyways.) Hopefully that name drops in time.
I do have a girls name I do like that I forgot to mention. It's Harlo, with the traditional middle name that will be given to her as a reminder of the great grandmother she never got to meet, but had the blessing to help change me in so many ways.
Both are nice names.

Is how I see that logic. Maybe I'm just nuts.
Harlo makes me immediately think (because of the character's popularity and the way that this name is spelt) of Harley Quinn. Again, probably because of nuts.
It's nice to have a name live on like that though, after all - when we're gone, all that's left of us are the memories of us. It almost gives it a sense of immortalitizing that name.

I needed a good home to put fanfic in. I was 13 at the time I think? I was waiting for 6 to come out, getting real impatient, and starting to dab into the FanFics.
Oh my god they were horrible man. I mean just disgusting and an embarassment to the fanbase. I don't remember much about them except that they were a pain.
"How can the internet permit such run-on sentence, typo'd, bullcrap to satisfy my Potter cravings?!" my wimp 13-year old self rages silently.
Then I was like "Ahhhhhh #### it all" after I read a few more garbage ones and could take no more and just wrote my own. This happened.
Tell Sarah I still think she would've made a good Luna in the movie.
I'm sorry for typing so much, this is what happens just after I blaze and am free to express thought through a keyboard.

I think it takes more than a childs name to destroy their life. I'm not naming the kid Richard. And anyways, I'm not sure if that's the name I'm even going with. Naming a kid is hard.
I don't believe that children's lives are actually destroyed because of uncommon names either.
But Astner is a bit of a yes-man, I get why he'd think so.

Yeah, HP is alright.. 😐
She would be a good Luna, not a bad call!
I'm not a huge Harry Potter fan, but when it comes on my dash on tumblr, I enjoy it. I like some headcanons.
JESUS CHRIST, YOU WROTE A WHOLE DAMN BOOK...I guess you are a bit of a fanboy.
Did you ever collect it all together?

I never put it all together on Word - just sat there and typed on the Post Reply page. Kinda just ploughed through it. Maybe I'll put it on Google docs sometime, never know. Felt rather trolljobbed by book 6 in particular.
it's bad. Because it's annoying. Haha

Thank you very much, I'll have the sonogram of my 20 weeks here soon with the gender. Can't wait.
when i walked in and saw him on the monitor, i froze.
we hadn't had one until the 20 week marker.
so the first time i saw my unborn hell spawn i was finding out it was a boy.
my girlfriend cried and there i stood; blank, expressionless, screaming on the inside.
if your guy does this, its just internal freaking out, but hes secretly the happiest man anywhere on the planet for a single moment.

Book 6 just left a bad taste in my mouth. Plus, recently Rowling admits that they would've been better for each other after all.
Nothing I can do except throw my hands up in despair.

But, but...they were like brother and sister!!!! shock
J.K. Rowling seems a bit like the George Lucas of the book world, if I may say so.
