GIRL!!!!:tutu: :pink: :tutu: :pink: :tutu:
At least that's what my docotor thinks b/c she didn't see any boy parts. I haven't had the level 2 ultrasound yet, but since I switched back to my old ob, she did an ultrasound to see how far a long I am (b/c I have NO idea). My husband is extremely bummed at the prospect of having another girl b/c that means we have to pay for three weddings but I keep telling him, maybe one of our girls will be destined to go off into a monastery, but he is unable to keep his hopes up. Now the names war begins and since he is upset about having a girl, I think I should get to name her. Okay, any suggestions? We need good Orthodox names

I always wanted a daughter that I could name Clementine.

Her patron could be Clement of Rome! ;)

lol... sending them off to monastery already??? Weddings ah... you do not have to do them big... And I know couples paying for them fifty-fifty... no biggy to me college is the expense... God bless you guys... You are so blessed to have another girl... They are true joy I love mine and wish I could have more... or them.

I like Clementine... it is cute also Anastasia (my favorite my niece is Anastasia) and I love Thekla, Philothei (of course ) or Philothea, Nektaria, Photini, Olga, Theodosia, Theodora, Marina, but why not do a search and look for a saint that you would identify with better for your daughter's name...

[Nichole]

WOOT WOOT :clap: CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!

How about Nichole?

[-Kyriaki-]

I vote for Brigid, since it's a cool name, and of course - Kyriaki ;)

Kristina
Irini
Joanna

Dig it....dig it, dig it, dig it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :thumbsup:

[rainbowbright]

:D Thanks for all the names. I have to make a list and whatever I decide, my husband WILL agree, whether he wants to or not.

When I think about the possibility that I may not even live to see my younger children married (or worse, that tragedy might befall them), then it seems to me like having to pay for their weddings 20-odd years from now to be a blessing.

May God bless you and your family, RB!

[rainbowbright]

Thanks RM, that makes a lot of sense, I will have to say that to him

[Dorothea]

Congrats, rainbow! How about Zoe? :D That's my niece's name. :D

[rainbowbright]

Zoe seems to be such a popular name!

[Nichole]

Again...........how about Nichole? ^_^

[rainbowbright]

:D I was actually thinking about Nichole I'm just not sure if I wanted as a first or middle name

WOOT! That's awesome! :clap:

[rusmeister]

You could go with the Orthodox tradition of a saint's name from the date of the child's birth. That way you wouldn't have a separate name day from the birthday.

[Zinnia]

You could always say this daughter will be a doctor, and so therefore will pay for her own wedding. :)

But start saving up for the weddings NOW!! :D

[choirfiend]

And, it's pretty likely that both families will pay for the wedding--this is what happens now-a-days. Whoever has the means, pays, whether that's the bride's fam, the groom's fam, or the bride and groom themselves. Nothing to fret about!

[rainbowbright]

I told my husband we don't have to worry and that if he is so worried that we should start saving up, but it didn't help. I think he just hates girls and hates the fact that he might be overrun by them. When I was pregnant with our twins and was kind of hoping for two girls, he said if it was, he was going to take our son and move up to Alaska.

Congratulations!

I just had my level 2 ultrasound tonight and it's deffinitely a girl. She was laying on her head and her legs were spreadeagle. I also found out that I'm due the original date of when we thought I was, which makes me a week and a half behind of what we thought I was when I got my first ultrasound, so in other words, we originally thought I was due Sept 18, but then thought it was Sept 7, now we are back to Sept 18. Oh well, I usually come early anyways. The tech told me that the new dr I had this time, should have gotten fired for not doing an 8 week ultrasound and also she shouldn't have done a doppler so ealy b/c that usually kills the baby in the first trimester. I seriously think this doctor was a midwife.

[Matrona]

If she comes close to the earlier date, she might share her birthday with the Theotokos! :clap:

[rainbowbright]

Oh, that would be pretty neat!!!
