"It looks like the Doppler radar." Congrats man.--Bob (talk) 16:58, 22 December 2007 (EST)

• Our new first choice for a name? Doppler....if it's a boy. :) Thanks, Bob. -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 22:08, 22 December 2007 (EST)
• He looks just like you ;) --Hero!^(talk)_(contribs) 01:31, 27 December 2007 (EST)
  • ...or "she"... I'm trying to whether you're saying I look like a gummy bear or an alien. :) -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 01:33, 27 December 2007 (EST)

you open to name suggestions, ryan? --SacValleyDweller (talk) 01:58, 27 December 2007 (EST)

• Sure, if it's a boy. If it's a girl, she'll be named Hallie Pearl after two of my wife's great grandmothers. We've run out of boy names that we both agree on, so I'm always open to suggestions. :) -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 02:15, 27 December 2007 (EST)
  • Beautiful girl's name! Here's a list of boys names I like and where they're from:

1. my family: Marion (it was a boys before our time, as he was a relative), Glenn.
2. the Bible: Abraham
3. history: Benjamin (as in Franklin).
4. pop culture: Luke (as in Skywalker), Sherman (as in T. Potter), Walter (as in __ "Radar" O'Riley ).
5. Others: Cody, Eric, Kurt, Sam/Samuel.

• Nice names! My wife has been trying to get me to settle on "Luke" for awhile now...there's something about having both a first name and last name with an "ooh" sound that rubs me the wrong way. I'm a bit picky, I guess. I also won't pick anything that starts with an S. Go figure. :) -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 03:29, 27 December 2007 (EST)
• Here I am trying to figure out what that pic was and then I enlarge and I'm like... "OoooooooOOOO" haha. Congrats Ryan. If it's a boy name him Hiro Nakamura!!!!! lol. Jason Garrick 21:37, 28 December 2007 (EST)
  • My wife would kill me if I even suggested that! :) -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 22:01, 28 December 2007 (EST)
• Ryan jr. :) --Hero!^(talk)_(contribs) 21:54, 28 December 2007 (EST)
  • My first son's middle name is Ryan, which I already think is a bit megalomaniacal. If I named my next son Ryan, people would start calling me George Foreman! -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 22:01, 28 December 2007 (EST)
    • Ju' kiddin'. Seiously, though, how about Alex? I like that name. --Hero!^(talk)_(contribs) 22:16, 28 December 2007 (EST)
• I think you may be interested in patterns, and seeing how one existing son's name begins with an 'E' and the other with a 'G', the next name in progression would probably begin with an 'I' or a 'C'. And since both end with the letter 'n', I will suggest the names 'Ian' (Scottish for God is Gracious) and 'Conlan' (Irish for Hero). If you want to peruse a good list, I recommend babynames.com.--MiamiVolts (talk) 22:28, 28 December 2007 (EST)
• Making full names out of a few of my suggestions plus add new suggestions for names as full names:
  • Full from old: Marion Alan Stewart, Abraham Josef Stewart, Benjamin Alan Stewart,
  • New: Andrew James Stewart, Andrew Michael Stewart(same cadence as your name), Michael Andrew Stewart,

• Well, I feel it's time I unload my wife's constant headache (namely me) on everybody, and let y'all know every one of my idiosyncrasies. These are the unexplainable pet peeves I use to shoot down almost every one of my wife's suggestions, much to her chagrin. Okay, full disclosure:
  1. Names cannot have the same primary vowel sound as the last name. So "Drew Stewart" and "Luke Stewart" are out.
  2. Names cannot end in the same sound as the beginning sound of the last name. That excludes "Reese Stewart" and "Ace Stewart". This goes for similar sounds, like "Lex Stewart", "Baz Stewart", and "Welsh Stewart".
  3. Peter Petrelli and Laura Lancaster are wonderful for comics and juvenile poetry, but not for my childrens' names. Nothing alliterative like "Samuel Stewart" or "Sassafras Stewart".
  4. I have a hard time with names which will automatically be shortened to nicknames. I love the name Gabriel, but not the name Gabe. Michael is nice, but he'll be called Mike.
  5. Initials cannot spell anything or even look like it begins to spell anything. So that rules out "Paul Ivan Stewart" and of course "Aaron Stephen Stewart". "Benjamin Alan Stewart" would be nice, but I can't help but think that his initials sound like they're trying to send a message that the kid was born out of wedlock. :)
• Anyway, just wanted to let y'all have a little peek at the mess of issues which is my mind. Thanks for all the suggestions! :) -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 03:53, 29 December 2007 (EST)
  • "Child 3" seems to be the only thing I can think of that fits your requirements. :] -- Lulu (talk) 03:57, 29 December 2007 (EST)
