    Congratulations InweCiryatan!!! Connor is a cool name. It is galiec for warrior and strong willed. Brandon is also a great name. It is anglo-saxon for sword blade. There are plenty of websites out there that you can find the meaning of many of these names and their origins.

    I wish I had a brother...

    Congratulations on your new baby brother.

    I like traditional names so I'd vote for Collin James.

    My own son is named Jacob. Pretty hard to mess around with that name.

    No, that'd be Leif as in Leif...

    It would roughly be pronounced "Layf" in english. Lay as in to lay something, and ending with an F-sound.

    Anyway, if we are talking about the same name, spelled like that, then it's pronounced "Layf". Or perhaps "Lafe" if that seems clearer.

    Thanks everybody! I think Mom and Dad have settled on Collin James for a name. They liked Connor, but three boys in the neighborhood are already named Connor so they decided against it. Dad, for some reason, was calling him 'Jimmy Jo' while he was in the womb and wanted to name him that, but Mom didn't like it at all. Doesn't it sound like the owner of a bacon factory in Oklahoma?

    I love babies when they are this age. When you hold them they just meld to your shoulder and are so, so soft. He has a cute, squeaky cry that sounds vaguely like my cat when I accidentally sit on her. Lol He’s still mainly nocturnal, so Mom and Dad are tired, but luckily he’s not to high-strung.

    Hrothgar sounds like someone who would EAT babies. Egads.

    Over-used, by far. But, "sword-blade"? Very cool...
