baby peterson... who are you?

Josh's challenge:

Challenge:
Jessica didn’t ask me about this, but if you can guess at least the first name, you really will get a gift certificate $20 at the restaurant of you choice.
Good luck
1) You can have 7 guesses, so don’t use them all at once.
2) You can guess up till Mid-night.
3) If you’re lucky, I may give some hints to narrow down, but not really help.

the first initial is one of these letters:
C, D,L, R, X, Y

Frist, just beat Shannon.

Josh said...

Other hints I've given:
1) It’s not an easy name. Not as unique as our other ones (that we've said before), but still fairly uncommon.
2) None that we've said on the blog before.

Josh said...

Jessica- you may want to put the prize on the home page. $20 at resturant of your choice.

"Cruise" Peterson

jess said...

done

Mama PC said...

"Dane"

jess said...

Another hint: not Biblical

jess said...

I think it starts with X

Mama PC said...

Xavier???

Mama PC said...

When we were naming Jeremiah, we couldn't decide until two days after he was born between
and no, i'm not guessing these names, just conversating...

Jedidiah John Crouse or
Jeremiah John Nathan Crouse or
John Nathan Crouse or
John Nathan Daniel Crouse......

... we finally decided on Jeremiah John...

no, those weren't any guesses...

Josh said...

MPC is a very wise woman and has good reasoning skills when it comes to name. If you will go back to her prior reasoning, it may dawn some light.

Mama PC said...

interesting sounds coming from J's room right now.. an electric guitar playing a bass-drone line.... a foot beating a bass beat.... and a one hundred year old violin expressing an interesting melody line (J and Hannah)

jess said...

C, D,L, R, X, Y

jess said...

oops

"ya gotta think of a name that would sound manly... but not conflict with the manliness of "Peterson"...... and since "peterson" has 3 syllables, you probably wouldn't want 3 syllables for a first name.... so, I think it will be a mono-syllabic first name... "

Mama PC said...

ok, "Ryan Peterson"

you probably wouldn't want a name with a "sen" sound..... or a "ee" sound...... to "pinched" sounding...

so, it probably has a strong "a" or a strong "o"....

hmmm.... R... but not too "old" sounding, unless older names are coming back again...

it's so hard to guess...

Josh said...

Jess- that would be the correct reasoning.

Mama PC said...

hmmmm

Mama PC said...

going to watch Wheel of Fortune with my hubby........ as I listen to a drum/violin duet in the back of my house...

bump bump bump/ ping ping ping/ zing zing zing/ da da da da...

the whole house is rattling!

i think it is a one syllable name... a strong one

you wouldn't put an "oo" in the name, nor a "en".... would you?

Mama PC said...

how "foreign" are you going, Josh and Shannon? What is both of your heritage? What are both of your middle names... I insist ... AND I want to know all of your parent's names, first and middle AND LAST!

Mama PC said...

AND YOUR GRANDPARENTS' NAMES.....

Wheel can Wait!!!!!!!!!

Mama PC said...

"Cael"???

Mama PC said...

i think i like that one...

"Cael"...

Cael Peterson....

Georgia said...

Jehu Hawkins Peterson PI

Mama PC said...

it's an odd spelling, unique, not "old" like the 1950's, but maybe older like an old european name...

it's like this... some people are just too special to use a name that everyone else has... but if you go back not far enough for a name, you might feel like you're comparing them to great uncle Larrimore or Great Aunt Prissy... but..... so, you've gotta go WAY back...

and it's not Biblical....... so i predict it's WAY back long-ago used name...

Georgia said...

Just Kidding Peterson

(cause he is really a girl)

Mama PC said...

Josh and Shannon must be eating leftover fried chicken and pumpkin pie WITH COOL WHIP!!!

Mama PC said...

Gerogia, how are U?

Well, I've probably gone over my 7 guesses..... do we still get to guess and will we win if we go over 7 guesses, Josh?

these are goofy guesses, please don't count..... but, would you name a poor little boy

Yen Peterson? nope
Xen Peterson? nope
Rain Peterson? nope
Ripe Peterson? nope
Race Petrson? nope
Rhyme Peterson? nope
Lame Peterson? I don't think so...
Dang Peterson... definitely not...

ok... i'm quitting. i still think he's little

CAEL Peterson

Mama PC said...

Katie... what did doctor say about your anemia situation?

Shannon2-24 said...

OK, MPC's reasoning of a strong "a" or "o" is good.

Katie- you don't know it, so guess on. It's a new one.

Can't give parents' names and such, too much info on a public space. Plus, it has nothing to do with their names or our heritage per say.

Mama PC said...

the music continues on... droning bass-line electric guitar.....drums being played with feet...and the violin sounding a little Jewish-like......

i love my chittlin's.....

Shannon2-24 said...

We were hanging up some house numbers on the fence in front of our place.

We did have pumpkin pie with our luch with cool whip AND vanilla ice cream that Shannon just returned from the store with.

Mama PC said...

papa jc is having a WONDERFULLY healthy meal.....

microwaved hot dogs.....
wedges of longhorn colby cheese

ketchup on the side
and salad with HOMEMADE RANCH DRESSING...

I frequented Sonic this afternoon for a burger,fries and blended float......

Josh said...

Those last two post were from me.

Shannon would never spell lunch wrong, just never.

Mama PC said...

"Roan Peterson"

Mama PC said...

"Cale"

Josh said...

We need to straighten up and get stuff ready for the baby shower. We'll check back in a while.

UPDATE:
Those who have exceeded guesses can have two more freebies.

Mama PC said...

"Yale" Peterson???

Josh said...

HINT: First letter is also in the first half of the alphabet.

Latter, gotta help Shannon with stuff.

Mama PC said...

Cody?

Mama PC said...

i ate blt's from sonic 3 times/week for about a year a couple of years ago after work on my hour drive home and after that....i was sick of sonic for a year! but, now..... i'll try it now and then... but, yuck... fast food gets tiring.....

Mama PC said...

well, i'm tired out and hannah's saying i'm taking too much time on computer...... so, i'll bid adieu.....which J says in french means "bye, i guess"

jess said...

C, D,L

jess said...

CDL - first letter
One syllable
Long O or A sound

Josh said...

it wasn't a LONG "a" or "o", it was a STRONG "a" or "o".

jess said...

Harvy- read my NOTS...

jess said...

That's not phonics... do you mean like strOng as opposed to bOat

Josh said...

More like bOat or mAid. Like you hear the A or O, what ever you call that. (not like boot or bag).

jess said...

yep... that's long

Josh said...

Back to cleaning, be back.

UPDATE:
You may now use all resources: name books, internet, etc.

jess said...

Case

jess said...

that is my 4th guess.. I get 5 more

jess said...

Drake
Holt

Josh said...

Keep on guessing folks

Back to washing pans. . .

jess said...

jess said...

B. Begins with C, D or L

jess said...

check my list of NOTS... everybody only has 9 guesses

Josh said...

We Have A Winner

Ding ding ding

Josh said...

And the winner is. . .

Jessica- on her 7th guess she pulls it in!!

The Name: Craig

This is currently the name we like the most and is highly possible to be our boy's name, but not for sure.

So Jess, where will it be? It actually needs to be a place around here we can get a certificate from. Macaroni Grill, Red Robin, Olive Garden, or suggest something and I’ll let you know. Of course, you could pick McD’s or Burger King, $20 will go a loooooong way there.

Curious: Did you use any resources?

Congratulation Jessica!

Josh said...

Zander is still in the runnings, we just hadn't looked at the name book a whole lot yet, now we have.

Josh said...

Oh, the fine print was that the winner had to be present at the time of award in order to claim the prize. She better show up soon.

jess said...

I'm here!
yaaaaaaaayyyy

jess said...

confession, though: I doubted my Craig guess and deleted it... BUT I did guess it... do I still get credit?

jess said...

Craig

Josh said...

I don't know Jess, that's deceitful, unethical, immoral. . let see. . rotten, horrid, shameful.

jess said...

I shoulda trusted my instincts

jess said...

and I was on a baby name website.... but that name wasn't there- I just thunk of it

Josh said...

Well, then I'll let you inteligence make up where your character left off. . OUCH!! (kidding)

YOU WIN!! CONGRATS!!
Where will it be?
(we don't have Chili's here, I'd know if we did. . I miss it and eat there everytime we're in TX.)
We have the above that I said and others, if you want to ask.

Josh said...

Dinner is ready, be back in 15 or 20.

jess said...

the thrill of victory.... let me think

Josh said...

Red Robin is good, not our favorite, but very good. They have unique burgers and sandwiches, and some other unique items. Shannon loves the strawberry lemonade, they put lots of real strawberries in it, it’s good. Between IL and WA, we’ve been 10, maybe more times.

Josh said...

Jess- As we sit at the table eating spaghetti and steamed vegies, we remember a certain very large spaghetti pot that was borrowed from us waaaay back in TX and never returned. I estimate it’s value to be $18.75. So, the question now is where would you like to spend $1.25?

Josh said...

Jess- In case you haven’t been to Red Robins, if you want a more romantic or elegant, pick something else. The décor in pictures all over the wall and modern rockish music.

$1.25 may cover some coffee at Olive Garden or Bennigan’s (sp?).

Viking Granny!!!! said...

Zander is kewl.....where did you find it....?

whats good for the Zoose is good for the Zander?

I love the name.

:0)

Anonymous said...

Now that the sandbagger is out, I guess I can't be lsat. Unless, of course she forgets where she is and falls asleep on me.

Josh said...

Oh wait, if a thief takes my spaghetti pot, should I give them my stew pot as well?

You may be getting a package from us the way this is going.

Josh said...

VKG- Zander is from Alexander.
You in Utah or what?

m-3- I don’t know about lsat, we’ll see.
How’s it going?

Josh said...

Oh yeah-
Craig means rock.
Zander is protector of man kind
We aren’t decided on a middle name yet

Anonymous said...

I think Craig Yablonski Peterson has a nice ring to it. Just think of it as a precious reminder always of this blogg and where is my sketti pot. The newest veggie tale song. Actually HR

Josh said...

Lsat!

Josh said...

This is my lsat post, going to eat sweet pumpkin pie and ice cream with my sweet wife.

Beth said...
