I had a great visit with Mr. and Mrs. Melbo last week. Still no name, so I thought we all could join together to help... 1. Xena (she is the warrior princess...) 2. Anya (means "Grace of God" in Latvian)
This is for "Mrs Melbo". Baby name Analysis... Enjoy! Ric http://www.kabalarians.com/cfm/menu-BriefAnalysis.cfm Although the name Xena creates the urge to be reliable and responsible, it can cause a materialistic approach that frustrates higher humanitarian qualities. This name, when combined with the last name, can frustrate happiness, contentment, and success, as well as cause health weaknesses in the reproductive system, worry, and mental tension. Your name of Xena gives you a strong sense of responsibility in business and material affairs, and the practicality and determination to make a success of anything you undertake. You are self-sufficient and capable, and have an interest in positions of leadership and responsibility. You are competent in directing the efforts of others, as you have good business judgment and the natural understanding of people. Very likely you have assumed much responsibility early in life and are often required to make major decisions. While the name Anya creates the urge to create harmony with people, we call attention to the fact that it causes a restless intensity that defies relaxation. This name, when combined with the last name, can frustrate happiness, contentment, and success, as well as cause health weaknesses in the fluid systems, and solar plexus. Your name of Anya creates a desire for association with people and new experiences, many of which have been rather bitter. This name has given you a gregarious personality and a quick-thinking, creative, and versatile nature, but one that is very emotional. You desire change and travel and would enjoy opportunities that allowed you to be creative and to act independently, rather than to conform to system and routine. However, this name does not allow you to complete your undertakings, as farther fields always look greener.
Congrats Mrs. n Mr. Melbo Xena .. don't know bout that. not something i would think as a first choice. cultural icons as names always bring comparissons and people get tired of that. Anya is a pretty name. In russian it is the same as Ann or Anna. Most people with these 2 names are called Anya as a "familiar" name by their friends/relatives

It occurs to me that I didn't hear Eric inviting our input into this matter which tend to offer numerous options...a "name that kid" raffle comes to mind. I'll buy two tickets for Quimby Meshea.
Need to think about this one...and for Pete's sake...think ahead to nicknames and initials and monograms! I have a friend who named her child Vanessa DuPont.... yep. VD. My mother wanted to name me Diedre....but my dad said kids would be calling me DeeDee in no time..... My poor brother is Geoff...and everyone mispronounces his name....(guess they never read Chaucer..... ) I tried to go for short , classic and no weird initials...Of course my daughters initials are LLC so I call her Elsie....
Okay - I'll throw out one of my favorites into the hat - my daughter's middle name - Jaime - meaning "I love" in French. It isn't her first name because her dad is Sicilian and it was a struggle to get his agreement on anything non-Italian
What? ask for help with a name? no one does, but everyone offers names to you left and right if you haven't decided...Wolfgang got the nix in my house, but it is still top of my list if I ever had another boy! One of my friends had wife convinced Benelli was a great name for a boy..until she found out it was a gun company 2 weeks before his birth. Think about it, Winchester Melbo...Winnie for short. Mrs. Melbo is gonna love that one.
Just so the ambiguous names get nixed. Somehow Chris, Jordan and the like miss the mark. Gad. But why not Maxine?
I haven't been around for awhile so the whole baby thing is new to me, so belated congrats. As for names, I vote for something along the lines of; Susie Mae, Sharron Marie, Sarah Megan, Sienna Moon........ You get the drift.
We looked at Valerie before we had our lil girl. I always like the name and in most of it's origins it means strong. Take care Be safe Poacher.
I always thought Annastasia was a cool name and also gives a couple of options on nicks, Anna or Stacy.
Each russian name has a short version, neither Anna not Stacy are the short for Anastasya Nastya is a short for Anastasya Besides most people here pronounce it like Anesthesia
That list Bear put up has Emma near the top. That's one she's been considering. Also Sage seems to be talked about as is Abigail. Oh, Minuteman, She's at 5 months now. I think you were gone when the second In Vitro cycle took. Thanks Anya is pretty. I'll mention it to the Queen. It's too bad that I used all of my favorite Latvian girls names on my pets over the years. Maya, Mara, Erija... We have a Cat named Valdemars too.
How about a Japanese name, I think this child is already named........ching........ching.........$$$$$
