Any wives of declaration signers on? I feel so alone, with DH out trying to build a country for everyone else when he has a family at home!

  - that makes me sad. can you imagine if a kid named "thor" grew up to be some short, skinny, wimpy guy?

  - Lol. I have to admit that my dcs have names similar to, say, Thor Scarlatella or Thor Levinson because dh and I have different backgrounds.

- sounds like you have a lisp. I hope he has a great middle name that he can use when he starts school or he's toast in class. Thor the Bore. Thor the Sore. Thor the Whore (by high school).

  - Ouch. You're mean. Frankly, kids in NY have pretty "weird/innovative" names by now. It's not going to be one Thor in classroom full of Bobs and Jacks.

    - never knew a kid who didn't rhyme names by 3rd or 4th grade. This name has a lot of potential for unfortunate nicknames on the playground

    - No. My dh and I are both tall and blond so I figured ds would be the same.

      - But you just said "he is tall, blond." So he's not -- you're just assuming he WILL be?

        she most likely assumed her newborn would be like her husband and herself and named him then. don't be obtuse.

        OP said "He is tall, blond. He fits his name". Suggesting she either gave birth to a 6'2" Nordic man or waited until he grew up to name him.
