OP, please please please tell us your child's first name. I would bet so much $$$ that it's something really new age and/or a traditional name spelled weird.

Our top choices are Eloise and Louisa (in honor of a Louise)

PP, you owe the OP so much $$$. Pay up, please.

I don't believe OP.

???

Why would I lie????

You're right, I'm actually planning to name the kid Bucketpooper - male or female

I love this.

This is what we are doing. My husband's last name is hyphenated and he hates it (says he would never wish it on anyone). So we chose one of his last names to be the baby's last name. And my last name will be a second middle name. It will be a bit odd that all three of us will have different names, but c'est la vie.
