Peter Peterson

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz



Maybe today we should re-open the dialogue: what should Josh and Shannon name their baby?
It's a boy and the winner gets a steak dinner purchased by Josh.

jess said...

slooooowwwww

Josh said...

We actually are pretty decided on a first name, and possibly the middle name.

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 to a restaurant of you choice. You may guess multiply times.


Good luck

Josh said...

OK, some rules:
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.

Beth said...

is this for just the first name or either or both?

alexander

Josh said...

We’ll stick to the first name.

Josh said...

To bad it isn’t busy here today, $20 at Macaroni Grill, TGI Fridays, or Sweet Tomatoes would be yummy.

Josh said...

I’m here of and on.

Josh said...

It’s not an easy name. Not as unique as our other ones, but still fairly uncommon.

Yeah, seeing how much things cost already, the money is needed for sure.

We got our car seat with base, and stroller last week. I had fun putting it together and seeing how fast I can whip it out and unfold it. Someone said yesterday “Just wait till you have your kid in one hand and the bag in the other and see how fast you can whip it out.” That will be the challenge.

Josh said...

So, what is TD’s new business, if you don’t mind? I’m guessing something with computers.

Josh said...

That sounds exciting! Yes. . . FAITH! Most guys that do that don’t want to be called “Computer Repair Men”. I’m a “Network Administrator” or “Service Technician”, sounds better. That would be great if you could work from home supporting him. Shannon’s mom does the accounting and scheduling for her dad and it works good. I’ve been working from home for 3 weeks now and like it. Though not as laid back as self employment would be, it is nice.

Josh said...

Harvey- Please reference the above rule #3. If your lucky, I will give hints. I’ve gotta see some more guesses before I narrow it down.

Daniel, Daniel, you're so humble and kind to still allow me to take Gaylord from you. Just take it as yours, it's OK, I don't mind.

doover
dover

Viking Granny!!!! said...

Lil Joshy is the answer.

jess said...

there's one you posted months ago... but I don't want to cheat

Josh said...

It’s none that we have posted before, so you can’t cheat.

Non-Biblical
May be some one with the name, not sure how historical it is
Somewhat rare, at least not very common

For those who have baby name books, you should not be allowed to reference them.

Beth- you may do over. May the force be with you.

jess said...

Non biblical, huh?
Well, I guess Jesus is out

jess said...

hey Josh or Shannon
do this... it's cool

jess said...

Elias

jess said...

Zane

Josh said...

Nope.

Won't give the origin. Actually I can't remember it right now.

jess said...

sheesh.

how bout a first letter?

Viking Granny!!!! said...

Jr.?

Josh said...

Hope mama likes air steak

Josh said...

A first letter! I thought you guys were prophetic. What a disappointment.

Josh said...

I won't give the first letter, but I'll say the first letter has not been used by the prior guesses.

That's it, I'm tight lipped now.

Josh said...

Good to see you back mama, you humor is always humorous.

You been hibernating or something?

jess said...

MAMA!
hows the wampum factory?

Beth said...

does it start with an x?

jess said...

Hey come burn it over here!

jess said...

Cade

Josh said...

Clammy- you got 7 guesses, that a stab at it and see where it gets you.

Beth said...

ok, josh, i was trying to be subtle....i think i might have a vague memory of some inside information on the matter; if i do have inside information, i don't want to spoil the game by cheating. so yes, if you would like to consider answering my question a guess, that's fine.

Beth said...

josh, my email address is
lisbeth.rogers@gmail.com

jess said...

that secret name was the one I was referring to earlier but he said he hadn't posted it... is that correct, J?

Josh said...

Since Clammy hasn't been around long, I posted Zander months ago on the blog. Since it ins't anything I've posted before, Zander isn't it. Clammy doesn't have inside info on this one.

That should clear it up.

Beth said...

i think it's Denny

am i right?

Dinner Time is Denny's Time!

That's right!

see y'all later!

Yeohan Peterson

Josh said...

xanthus

Josh said...

I saw that MPC, it'll just be our little secret. You can still have 7 new guesses.

Mama PC said...

In regard to your HINT:

"The first letter has now been used: C, D,L, R, X, Y" what are you saying? the first letter of your baby's name starts with one of these above listed letters? or the opposite? i'm corn-fused...

Mama PC said...

huh?

Mama PC said...

josh, what was that last list of letters you listed? please interpret your hint...

jess said...

those are initials that the baby's name DOES start with- well, one of them

Josh said...

Yes, starts with one of those letters.

jess said...

C, D,L, R, X, Y

Mama PC said...

ahhhhhh, okay.....

hmmm

Mama PC said...

I think it would be ...

Lane

Mama PC said...

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...

and that's not a Biblical name...... hmmmm...

what about ...

ew, i hate to waste my votes.....

(very competitive,... lists names on scrap paper)...

jess said...

Lane Peterson is really cool

Shannon2-24 said...

I do kind of like "Lane" yet don't plan to ever use it personally for any of my children.. nope, that's not it..

Shannon2-24 said...

if we have a daughter later..
Candy Lane
hee hee not really

jess said...

we may need another day to guess

Josh said...

I like this working from home, Shannon just brought me milk and cookies for a “treat”. She called it a treat, but since I’m at work, we’ll just call it a snack.

Mama PC said...

i knew a guy once named Randy Cane..... i didn't think his parents were thinking very smart...

Also knew a Jay Byrd...

My nephew is Dustyn Rhodes...

Josh said...

Never name your kid Ben Dover. . . that just bad, very very bad.

Josh said...

Or Seymour Butts for that matter. . . just plan bad!

Shannon2-24 said...

I'm eating a snack.. banana, a few non-hydrogenated oreo-like cookies & milk..mmm..

then back on my tired feet to straighten a little for the baby shower tomorrow.

looking forward to seeing so many of my friends & my mama, mom, & sis all in our living room!! & getting nice gifts!!

Mama PC said...

it's difficult playing guessing games with other's choices of names of their babies...

You wanta hear a sad story..

my mom cringed when I told her the name I had already named "Lindsey"... she asked me HOW I could've named her THAT!

And also didn't like the name we gave HANNAH...

Isn't that SAD!!!

Josh said...

Jess made an UPSTAIRS.

See ya up there.

Mama PC said...

She probably doesn't remember that.....and must've been going through a hard time... and my sisters had named their kids "popular names" like Dustyn, Jenny, Joshua, Michael... so, my baby's names just didn't make sense in the early '80's...

Shannon2-24 said...

Ya, that's sad mpc : (
