What is a good middle name for a little girl named Zoe? The middle name must start with an "S" (for my grandfather Sidney), and I don't think Zoe Sydney go to well together...

What do you think?

My husband and I, are fairly strict with our children. I recently discovered that my 13 year old step daughter and her boyfriend are sneaking around to have "sexual pleasure" moments. We have had a sex talk to my step-daughter, but we feel that 13 is to young to let something this precious to go out the window. My husband has confronted her mother and her mother basically wants no part of it. While at our house, we have a 100% supervision rule, if grown-ups aren't there, they aren't going alone. Her boyfriends mother and us have talked and she knows about it but we don't know what road to lead down. We definetely don't want rebellious children on our hands. Any Suggestions?

Alright I asked a question similar but didn't really get any response. My baby ate 12 oz. of milk and 6 oz. of water (which the doctor told me I could give him water) in a 2 hour time period, and then he'll be starving again in 3 hours. My doctor said not to feed him more than 6 oz. every feeding but he acts like he is starving with only 6 oz. Do you think it hurts him for him to eat that much?

My husband and I have a son named Calvin Roy, we are planing on another child, we have a name picked out if it's a girl, but i'm wondering if anyone has any unique names with the initials C.R. My husband wants all the children to have the initials C.R.

I think the parents are the sole reason for their child being fat. Unless there is a serious medical issue (which is rare- 1% of society has glandular problems that would cause weight issue) all others just eat too much.

I hate when parents say, "My kids won't eat salad, all he eats is macaroni." Are parents that dumb that they don't know that they are the ones buying the macaroni. If the child had no option they would eat whatever they had.

What do you think?

My son is 8 years old, and the past two nights I've sort of caught him in his room masturbating. I havent seen him do it per-se, but I know he is doing it because of the way he was acting. I know this is normal, and I don't have a problem with it, but should I have a talk with him (or have his dad talk to him) or should I just leave it be? Is it time for a birds and the bees talk, or should we just wait until he is older?

For me it's waking up seeing him laying there so peacful and knowing that we will be starting our day together. I love seeing him smile at me, when we play hide and seek, and being the one he runs to when he gets a boo boo. Or when he dumped out the whole bag of golfish crackers on the couch. Or today when we were filling the pool and he grabbed the hose and drenched the both of us...LOL.Those are just the tip of the iceburgs for me.

Last yr. I tried donating my eggs all my tests came out fine until the day the meds were to be started in Feb. 07 the nurse told me my FSH levels were high and I couldn't donate. She also told me if I plan on having anymore kids I need to do it soon. In May I had my FSH levels tested again by my Gyn and my levels came out great what's the deal. Thanks in advance for all the answers.

My husband and I are going to have a baby boy in early Dec. We currently have 2 kids, Lina who is 17 and Christopher who is 5.
I like Aiden Matthew (while my husband hates it) and my husband likes Keiran Matthew (pronounced KEER-an, while I hate it)
We have gone though so many baby books and I know I still have time. What do you think of these names? Have any other opinions? Our last name is Michaelson.

I'm not trying to be snarky but to understand.

What is the deal with everyone wanting to have 'unique' spellings of names? What's wrong with spelling the name "Marie"? Why does it have to be "Maree" or "Marrii" or "Mahrhee"? I can understand an unusual spelling if it comes from another culture to which you or the baby's other parent belongs but not just for the sake of being different.

Honestly, I knew a fellow named Kaare (say it like Cory) and I just don't get it.

Further, I see so many questions here from people who hate their names and I wonder why parents are so keen on this whole 'different' thing. Baby will be different just because of who he/she is.

I don't let my 7 year old play in anyone's yard until I met the parents.

Well, I met this neighbor a couple of times briefly. She turned out to be my neighbor and so she had my children and I over for an afternoon and supper. We had a nice time getting to know each other and the kids played for hours.

Awhile later I invited their daughter to play in the backyard with my daughter and her friend who was over for a sleepover. The mother said she was uncomfortable for her daughter to have a sleepover here. I explained that I was only inviting her daughter to play in the backyard. She said she will wait and come over with her daughter sometime, but her daughter wouldn't come alone.

Should I take this personally. She has been in my house before briefly. I am single, so she has met my whole family and she is across the street from me and a few houses down.

Maybe she is just overprotective? Her daughter is 9 and can't go to the park across the street and is in bed by 7:30.

It's not actually for a baby, but for a character in a story. She's a background character that the main character idolizes - gentle, soft spoken, very regal, but meek. She has pale blonde hair and pale porcelain skin, and either grey or violet eyes (I haven't decided yet). She's popular, but seems to like her privacy.

Thank you so much for your help ^_^ the story's for my last class assignment (summer semester) and I need to turn it in by saturday, but I'm stumped for this name!

My husband and I are pregnant with our 7th child...I know, I'm crazy. I have 6 boys, and FINALLY a girl on the way! My boys' names are Brixton James (BJ), Seth Thomas, Oliver Karson, Sterling Michael, Kieran (pronounced kyrun...it's Irish) Boyer, and Killian Robert. We have narrowed our daughter's name to either Adison or Tatum, but we are looking for a middle name.

Let me know what you think of those names, and maybe suggest some possible middle names. (Feel free to comment on my boys' names too if you'd like!!) Have fun, we are open to any suggestions!! Thanks much!

Is it weird that I'm jealous of a girl that is due like 5 days after I am had her baby already?
I just am getting so impatient and can't wait for her to come out, and have had all the signs she's coming but she won't. But, then a girl I know is due after me but has her baby before me.
I know I shouldn't be upset, but it's just that I am getting impatient...:(
I am 40 weeks pregnant and swear this child is planning on staying in until they turn 18.
