Should I just name this kid Lorelai?

[Chirp]

Yes, of course you should. Well, I guess lady toes should be on board too.

It seems like everyone you know is already expecting it, so your "people will think I'm crazy" is invalid.

ETA: I would suggest not using Victoria or Leigh for the middle name. I trust that you understand why.

[imoan]

Broc- I was totally planning on naming her and then telling Lady Toes what her name was as I signed the birth certificate

[smock]

Also, can we discuss nick names? Do you like nick names? Because I wanna call your baby Lolo.

[Muddled]

Smock, you do realize that this bebe already has a nickname, don't you?

I don't really do nicknames based on names (as evidenced that my name is one that is generally always turned into a nickname and I always use my whole name).

[edithbouvierbeale]

god, yes. for two reasons:

1. its a great name- pretty and unique enough to be unique but not weird or reaching.

2. you LOVE it. go with a name you love.

Im so happy for you!

[So_Fetch]

I think it's a beautiful name. And if everyone is expecting it, then they can't really think you're crazy anyway. you'd only appear crazy if you actually legally changed your last name to gilmore. or maybe if the middle name was gilmore. That might be weird.

Lorelai Babette Patricia Matilda.

[Deleted]

You love that name. Of course you should use it. And its a beautiful name! My vote is yes.

[malibu]

Yes. You must name her Lorelai.

[bowies]

Really, it doesn't matter what you name her because she'll always be known as Joseph. YWIA!

[PinkSquirrel]

Remember those times when you were told there's no such thing as a stupid question?

You found one. LOL Of course this kid needs to be Lorelai

[imoan]

You guys are adorable and hilarious!

It would be weird if I showed up here one day and was like "So guys... my daughter's name will be Alexandra"... wouldn't it?! LOL!

I like the idea of all future TIP girls being named Lorelai. It'd be like Fight Club. But with less fighting and more... Lorelais?

H has already said if we have another kid and its a girl, he wants to use Lorelai or Rory. Apparently he's a closet fan.

Of course, the plan is one and done, so unless fate has other plans...

The TV show is more recent than Bewitched, but I'll share this anyhow - a friend always loved the name Tabitha. LOVED. When they had their DD 12 years ago, that's what he wanted to name her. Everyone around them was like "What? Really? Tabitha? Like in Bewitched?". They were not met w/ positive responses to the name.

Long story short- Tabitha couldn't be a more perfect name for her, and HER peers make no association to the TV show.

[BettyBookWorm]

YES. I am shameless. DOOOOOO EEEEEET!

[starrieskies]

I LOVE the name Tabitha!

[imoan]

I love the name Tabitha too. But yes, even though I'm 31 and so wasn't really around when Bewitched was new, I STILL think of it when I hear that name!

But Bewitched is more iconic than Gilmore girls. So... that's something.

[pedanticwench]

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Tabitha.

But Lorelai is an equally beautiful name, imo.

[zitiqueen]

Lorelai Gilbert.

Because Gil was freakin' awesome.

[interro]

Of course you should! I didn't think there were other options on the table.
