The Odds Aren’t Good

Just found out i am pregnant. Already my husband and i can not decide on a name. Luckly i have a long time to convince him! LOL … We have one 6 year old son named Collin, so something that goes with that. I like Lillian Elizabeth and Tristan David. My husband likes Karma Jade and Isaiah David. We cant agree, so i think we should look for different names all together. thanks for any help!

Again, a strategy I’m not getting. They pick names on their own, and because they didn’t come up with the same ones, they start over? My very basic probability skills (and an e-mail from Chris at UWash to correct me) say that the odds of two people thinking of two names of a mere five random letters each (random being the favored method of creating a bad baby name) are 1 in 380,204,032 (including rAndOm caPitalIzatIon). And that’s only in the Latin alphabet.


Lillian made me happy. Older name, not trendy (though Lily is)…probably the first time I’ve seen it on a naming site. I take my happies where I can.


Try new Karma Jade! The mystical healing stone used for centuries in the mysterrrrrious Orient!
