The Scene:
Basement at Casa Connell
Owen watching the Leafs
Jen looking for baby girl names on babynetwork.com
Jen: Sine, Sinead, Siobhab, Sorcha, onto the T's: Talulla, Tara, Tierney....
Owen: Talulla?
Jen: (laughing) Yeah, Talulla.
Owen: That's a pretty name.
Jen: Talulla? You like Talulla?
Owen: It's pretty. Very feminine.
Jen: TAA-LUUUU-LAHHH? You like Talulla?
Owen: Yeah.
Jen: Talulla Connell. Of all the names I've given you, Talulla's the winner?
Owen: I'm just saying I like the name.
Jen: (Abort mission! Think Jen, think. How are you getting out of Talulla?!) Well, Bruce Willis and Demi Moore named one of their daughters Talulla.
Owen: Oh. Well forget that then. It's still pretty though.
Jen: They named another one of their daughters Scout. Now, Scout I like.
Owen: Scout Connell? In your dreams Kennedy.
After that exchange we came down to the heart of the matter. Papa Connell likes feminine names for girls and doesn't like using last names as first names. Mama Connell likes using last names for first names and likes less feminine names for girls.
Readers, do not be surprised that this baby, if it is a girl, remains nameless until she can pick her own damn name.

I say you name her Porter...
cause really...that's an awesome name.
I'm still holding out for a boy!...hopefully without a feminine name and I'm indifferent on the last name thing. Just bring on the boy!! It goes without saying of course that I will love him just as much if him turns out to be her!! Even if her name is Tallula!
Love Lori
you can call her Al or annie for donna&gord. dad &i will call her every nick name we can. gorgous, beautiful, nanny"s girl,anything we want. i am sure as soon as you see her/him you would have found a beautiful name.keep on writing xxxxxmom
So Owen squashed Kennedy?! Bummer! I really liked that. And I agree with Judes, when you see her-you'll just know!
have you ever tried this?

it might make it easier to choose a name!
ha ha, you should just call her "girl" until she's like 5. I think though, if a 5 year old is allowed to pick her own name, she'd pick something like "flower" or "kitty" or "sugar". All names that could be used as Stage names, (Jamie would point this out) And I don't mean broadway babe.
