PLEASE READ THE WHOLE QUESTION BEFORE ANSWERING

My cousin is having a baby girl. On my mother's side of the family, all the relatives suggest ONE name each for the baby. The mother-to-be arranges them into first/middle name combinations, and when the baby is born, the father chooses the one that fits the baby best.

I know that's not the way it's normally done, but it's a tradition and we usually end up with good names.

So this is what I need. Your ONE all-time favorite girls' name. No middle name to go with it. ONE. I've already suggested all my favorites for this family name game, and since we can only suggest a name once, I'm out. Please tell me what your ONE favorite name is, besides the ones I rule out. I'll choose the one I like best and suggest it for this baby.

These names are off-limits, since they've already been used in this baby's generation.

CECILY
ANN(E)
MEGAN
FAITH
TAWNY
AMAYA

Thanks.

Remember, your ONE favorite name, as long as it's not listed above.

I am 24 weeks pregnant today and i was measured to 34 weeks earlier today. I have not gained any weight at all, i have a hard time gaining weight even though i eat enough for 4 people, Does this mean my babies due date may change? Or what does this mean?

So, some of you are saying...If I have a induced labor and plan to have it vaginaly without drugs then it will be harder vs. letting the baby come on its own. If I want to have to induced then have a c-section?? I just really want my mother to be here but I don't want a c-section, I want to give birth naturally.

My 8 month old is getting over a stomic virus. When I took him to the doctor he said it just needs to runs it course basically and to give him pedialyite, apples and bannans and ease him into formula again( that was Friday). He is acting energetic and happy and will eat the apples and bannas but he refuses to take formula! It has been a whole day and he has only drank 6 ounces of formula but is eating other then that well. Is it just to soon for formula again? any advice to get him to take the bottle again? Has anyone else been through this? I am freakin out! help!

Can you put into words how much you love your baby? I was trying to think and I don't know if there are words to describe it. I have been on YA for a while tonite and it seems there are an awful lot of unhappy people out there, while I'm sitting here feeling blessed and full of love. Happy answers only please:)

assume that huntington's diseases or a disease which causes a short life (5years) and that if one parent carries the marker there is 50/50% chance of passing the marker on. should the parents procreate in the normal way?

At first my daughter-in-law said her due date was mid-March. That turned out to be a mis-calculation and she said it was in February. Last week she told me she was dilated 2 cm and the baby could come sooner. Today I heard she has been in Labor & Delivery 3 times last week and the doctor believes she will have the baby early January if not even yet in December. That would be 10 to 12 weeks early. She calls it pre-mature ... I call her a liar. Because that would make it impossible for my son to be the father of her child. Can it be determined at time of the baby's birth if it is actually premature or if in fact she is manipulating the dates?

I've heard lots of different explanations but it would be nice to know exactly what it means? Is it common in a different culture?

I read it and I've always liked it, I want to name my baby girl that way, I just don't know how to pronounce it. Every time I hear it they pronounce it different. How does it sound better, or just how do you pronounce it?

If you discovered that your baby had superhuman powers or at least super-human cuteness, what would you do?

Would you be bothered if this cute lil freak kept roasting badguys with its laser eyes? Or causing the animals at the zoo to go on a rampage and run towards freedom? etc etc etc!

How would you react if you suddenly knew, just KNEW, that the fruit of your own womb was the future of human life as we are to know it and would be so so much BETTER than the primordial beasts that currently rule civilization?

I would personally give the mighty lil mutant a big mutant hug...

I live in MO and my mother is coming from Alaska to be here when I give birth. If i have not given birth by my 40th week is it safe to have my labor induced so my mother could be with me? This is my first child, and I want to have a vaginal delivery.

My 16 month old used to pig out on anything in front of him a few months ago. He could eat a piece of pizza all to himself at ten months of age. Within the last two months he refuses to eat anything. We put food on his high-chair tray and he takes the tray off and gets down. We rigged the tray so that he could not get down, and then he throws the food all over the floor. I've tried spoon-feeding everything to him, one bite at a time, and he still refuses. He drinks lots of fluids and appears to be very healthy. No weight loss, he's in the 85% for length and 95% for weight. What should I do?

Whenever I bring it up, she ignores the topic, and when we're making out, and nearly at the point, she just eases herself out of the situation. I kept asking her, and she finally said she didn't want to have sex yet. I thought we could start bringing our relationship to the next level, but she won't cooperate. What should I do???? How do I convince her that we can take it to the next level?

helpp!!!

My wife and I are expecting in March.
I am circumcised.
We live in the United States of America.
My wife is Catholic and I'm theologically undecided.
My wife and I think circumcision is unnecessary and a little barbaric, but that forcing a child to suffer too much ridicule for being different is nearly as bad.

So what should we do?
