It's a boy!
« on: February 15, 2011, 02:16:03 pm »
I know it isn't electronics realted but i just wanted to share and get some ideas.

I currently have a 13 month old boy with another baby on the way. We just had an ultrasound and found out that it is another boy.... Now comes the argument with the wife about boy names.... Any ideas? The wife doesn't seem to like Nikola. :)

Ha!

Naming a kid is so hard. They have to live with it and it is on your shoulders to pick something... so that name is something I will like and he may hate down the road. I wanted something creative from the electronics world but all the founders of the electrical world have such odd names. I guess I need to stick to the main stream stuff. After all it isn't like I am naming a cat Darlington :)

Aw, it's not so bad. You've got folks like Maxwell with good last/first names, and in a pinch you can work the other way too. "Dad, why did you name me Robert?"
