		<description>Luckily, we never have this problem.  We didn&#039;t name any of our four kids until the day we were leaving the hospital.  No lists.  No preparation.  No ideas.

On the positive side, we&#039;ve always felt their names were perfect matches for them since we got a glimpse of their personalities before we bestowed a name upon them.

The negative is there&#039;s a lot of pressure trying to come up with a name in a couple days at the hospital.

		<description>Okay in the case of Buforina I will agree something should be tactfully said but I do not know how to say that tactfully.  Again, I would say something (somehow) if the name rhymed with vagina or ass or penis or even boobies (as in the case of Ruby, which was suggested by my daughter Sophia.

Again though, I stayed calm.  She asked me again last night at dinner about the names and I calmly told her that I am now dreaming about MY name and that is probably going to be it.  Once your name is in your dreams - it is kind of set!

I am happy to hear that maybe my character is improving!  Woo Hoo!

Thanks for popping by.  Could you see my google friend connect?  Iask bc everyone is having trouble?  Thanks!</description>

		<description>My mother named my little sister Buforina.

Yes.

I am being serious.

Sometimes women NEED to be confronted by others about the name picked out for their baby.  My mother wasn&#039;t, and my little sister was stuck with that FOREVER.

Now, I can&#039;t imagine her as anything but &quot;Buforina.&quot;

Having said that, my advice is to let it roll of your back and, in the future, simply recommend that your friend name his or her next infant the names he or she has recommended, if possible.  Alternatively, you could, if this person is your friend, just tell her everything you have said in this email and ask for her support of your decision, instead of alternatives that she might use on her child.  She was insensitive.  People are.  It&#039;s when we can rise above and be gracious at those times that our character develops in ways that improve our souls.  

In my opinion.

		<description>The things people say and do around pregnant women boggles the mind. Why does the world at large feel like they have personally knocked you up and now retain 50% ownership of your belly and its contents? Very frustrating. I admire the way you talked yourself through it as your friend was making this common mistake. I&#039;m guessing that had this happened during your first pregnancy, you would have gone all Kill Bill on her, but now that you&#039;re a seasoned veteran, you knew how to breathe and think your way out of an ugly  confrontation. (Pregnancy Faux Pas Lamaze? We may be onto something here - I can see the DVD series now, for just three easy payments of $19.95 each, plus shipping &amp; handling.)

Anyway, thanks for finding my blog - this was my first time checking out yours, and I&#039;m hooked!

		<description>Julie - I am so of the opinion that there is some sort of time limit on names if one never gets pregnant and someone else is mid baby making - particularly if you are not Jewish.  In Ashkenazi Judaism you are not supposed to name a baby the same thing as a living relative so that makes it a little sticky.  In this case though I think Abigal is up for grabs and if they are both named Abigail - who cares???  They are cousins not sisters!  Thanks for coming by!</description>
