You have to make sure you like the first and middle names so that it runs well together as you're yelling it over and over again... very important!

We've spent years correcting, advising, and admonishing "Punkin", that when Sweet Pea comes along, the very first thing we say is "Punkin, please stop that." when we really mean "Sweet Pea." And poor Buddy... depending on the 'gravity' of the situation, we start making names up and throwing them in there, and finally end with "YOU! COME HERE!" :)<BR/><BR/>You know, it just occurred to me.

My hub and I never use each other's names though. He says my name like maybe two or three times a year. It startles me when he does... totally gets my attention. Maybe I should do that with the kids so that they'd pay more attention when I do call their name? Or maybe I should just start using the middle name more. :)LizzieDaisyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05515088064335661656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10922754.post-1132237332144819962005-11-17T09:22:00.000-05:002005-11-17T09:22:00.000-05:00"Max you can't jump off the...oh I guess you can"...."Max you can't jump off the...oh I guess you can"...that cracked me up!<BR/><BR/>Very important to like the name--I heard that a good test of a name is to stand on the back porch and shout it at the top of your lungs a couple of times--if you still like it, go for it! ;)Effiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05085720274984698685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10922754.post-1132198360643713082005-11-16T22:32:00.000-05:002005-11-16T22:32:00.000-05:00You've only just begun.Pretty soon, you'll yell, "...You've only just begun.<BR/><BR/>Pretty soon, you'll yell, "Max, xxxxxx," and then under your breath will be a, "little shit."<BR/><BR/>Mark my words.Kamihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08047324613696125475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10922754.post-1132190644353804382005-11-16T20:24:00.000-05:002005-11-16T20:24:00.000-05:00I'd juxtapose it when I got bored if I were you --...I'd juxtapose it when I got bored if I were you -- call 'im "Field Max" just for fun.<BR/><BR/>And John, THAT was freakin' hysterical!eclectichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01827218552901306334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10922754.post-1132188982143646222005-11-16T19:56:00.000-05:002005-11-16T19:56:00.000-05:00And ohmygod John the LawnWhisperer please get a bl...And ohmygod John the LawnWhisperer please get a blog already.

I never picked more than two, weird huh? Anyhoo, when I was all knocked up with nowhere to go, I tried yelling the name out the window, knowing there would be years of doing that once the child was older. That was when I knew the names I picked all those years ago were good ones. I loved yelling those names, and still do. Haha! And that is how you pick a good baby name! <BR/>Your post reminded me of the Bill Cosby skit, "My name is Jeffery I 4-years-old." "Jeffery, come here. Here, here, Jeffery."
