So... it's official!

[imoan]

The Triplet's name will be Lorelai MyLastName (as middle) H'sLastName (as last)!

And of course, just two days after we make this decision... there's already a post on ML about "Why would you name your kid after a Gilmore girls character?" (apparently Sookie is one of the most searched baby names for 2012... but I think that's more about True Blood). Let the games begin!

[starrieskies]

YAY!!! I really think it would be wierd for you to name her anything else. It just wouldn't be right.

[Muddled]

That's exciting news!

[margarita]

It's your favorite name, and her peers are not going to associate it with the show.

[neonpink]

I've never watched Gilmore Girls. I think if you love the name go for it.

[So_Fetch]

I love the name. Gilmores or not.

[gault]

woohoo!

Heehee! I still loved those glitter pumpkins you texted me this weekend. Glitter... pumpkins... fall colors. ALL MY FAVORITE THINGS!

[dixienormous]

I'll need to know nursery colors...

The walls will be like a deeper clover green. There will be browns, oranges, creams, etc.

[dixienormous]

Got it. Jewel tones in fall-ish colors.

If anyone asks why you're naming her Lorelai, please say "I hope she follows in Lorelai Gilmore's footsteps because I want to be a young grandmother." Please!

HEY! You just likened me to EMILY!


When we found out it was a girl, H turned to me and said "Okay, you can't take off so you can raise this kid by yourself and start your own inn in some small Connecticut town". I was like "DUH! If I was going to do that, I would've had to have gotten knocked up at 16. And I fucked that one up but good!"

[kaneen]

It would be weird if you DIDN'T name her Lorelai.

[imoan]

Alright! I'm glad you guys approve. I'm steeling myself for people to think I'm an asshole. But that's okay. There is not another name I love as much. And I figure it'll blow over shortly after the kid is born.

[motzie]

I love it!

[maucat]

Hooray!!

[broc]

Imoan, if you're worried about it, don't tell people until the kid gets here. Once the kid is born people make a lot less free with the ayfkm, because it's already kind of set in stone.

I am so happy for you! Can't wait until Lorelai is here. Are you going to go with Rory for nickname?

No, I hate that name. I'm not a big nickname person. My name is a longer name that traditionally always gets a nickname and I've always gone by the full name.
