Congrats, Lush.

Congratulations, Lush! I hope wee Peregrin Beren Thorin Estel and his mommy are both doing well.

Don't you just love ultrasound techs?

Thanks guys. It was a difficult birth, but they're both Ok. He is an extremely cute baby, such a little kitten. For my money, he looks like a Peregrin. Not that anyone is going to listen to me.

Anarion is also a good one, but I think it sounds almost too fancy.

And as for the ultrasound techs, well they do like to pretend they know everything sometimes.

call the boy Gil-Galad in my honour...

How about William in my honour? Then his nickname would be Will just like me.

Except I'm Wil, but thats a minor detail.

Actually, I read a story in a newspaper last summer or whenever it was, about this guy, they wrote a good bit before they casually dropped his name into a sentence. His name was Gandalf

Appearently, it's an ancient Norwegian name from the Edda, but really, no-one here is going to relate it to anything but Tolkien.

I always liked the idea of naming a girl Tinúviel, Tina for short, but I'm not sure about boys' names. A friend of mine once said that she couldn't marry a man who wouldn't agree to name his son Aragorn..

Tilion would be a cool name for a boy...
