We have almost made a decision on what to name our son. This is such a big decision!

Our current first choice is Tyler James. My only concern is that Tyler is the 16th most popular name. I wonder if there will be 3 Tyler's in school with him and that will be an issue.

Our second choices are Charlie (name him Charles, call him Charlie) and Jackson, but we haven't picked out middle names for those. I have always loved these names but my husband suggested Tyler and it just felt right.

Any advice? My husband mentioned asking his mother before we chose a name. I told him I thought it was our decision and she will learn to like it, no matter what.

We googled Tyler James and no mass murders came up and his initials woud be TJM so that doesn't spell anything bad. Anything else that we need to think about?

Tyler James is such a nice name.....For our children, we used my fathers middle name for our son and my husbands mothers middle name for our daughter. Whatever you choose, I am sure that it will be just perfect for your son! :)

I love the name Tyler!!

I wanted it for my youngest - but hubby wasn't keen :angry:

We couldn't agree on a name until my Mum suggested Martin (with Tyler as a middle name ;) )

..But, I like Charlie as well!! :)

Tyler is a great name. Plus, if he really hates his name when he gets older, he will be able to go by TJ, that's cute too. So it's kind of win win. I love it.

I like Tyler also - I would definitely be calling him Ty for short though.....

I still am disappointed that I didn't get to name on of the twins Brady. I soooooo wanted my Brady. We knew we were naming one of them Daniel - after all, being Irish, we had to have our Danny Boy! But I wanted Brady for twin #2 and Terry wanted Connor, so what do we do? We let our oldest daughter decide! She picked Connor :angry:<_<<_<

Oh well.......

I like the names you have picked out. Definitely go with your "gut".

(the problem with asking someone like your m-i-l is that if you don't pick the name she likes.....;))

I like all of the names you are considering.

With our second, my husband and I couldn't choose between two names--we kept going between the two. Right after he was born, we looked at him, and both said--Matthew! :D

Whatever you decide, it will be the right choice :)

I like Tyler, but I then again I have one of my own. We call him Ty which is less common than Tyler. Love Charlie as well, and I sort of think Jacksons are gaining popularity. If he has to be one of 3 in class I'd rather him be a Tyler than a Jackson. Personally, we only know one other Tyler but he spells it Tylor.

My Ty is pictured on the left in my avatar.

I really think we are going to go with Tyler, and probably call him Ty at least some of the time. My husband is ok with me calling my belly Tyler now, so that is a good step in the right direction. Glad to see other people like the choice.

When my husband and I were choosing our son's name, we opened the back door and hollered each of the options out across the neighborhood. The one that sounded best is the one we chose.

The practical approach--I like that! :lol:

Tyler is a good name; not too trendy, can be pronounced without getting lessons on how to say it. Only drawback these days is names like Tyler could be a girl or a boy. I don't know if that matters to you I used to know a man named Robin and a girl named Robin. I don't know how I feel about that.

Also note to all MIL's who want to control the name: have your own baby and then you can name it youself. MYOB.

I think Tyler James is a fine name. So are Charles and Jackson. You really can't go wrong if you like the name, and it suits your baby. In terms of popularity...so what? I was one of three Michelles in my grade throughout elementary school. Not a problem. My youngest, Olivia, will be going to school with many Olivias (it was #8 the year she was born.)

Personally, I don't like sharing names with others, especially family, until the baby is born and named. There are too many opinions to the contrary. Picking a name is just too special to involve anyone but you and your immediate family (spouse & perhaps children.)

If we were going to have kids, we'd name our boys Jefferson Davis and Robert E. Lee.

Can you tell what region of the country we live in? :P :P :P

I like the names you have chosen as well.

As far as others opinions......if you didn't have a name that you liked you could consider asking for ideas.....but definately not necessary. There is a couple I know that couldn't decide on a name until the baby was born.

All my children were named after bible names and no other family name was used (aside from our last name :lol:).

My daughters name is harder to pronounce and not real common. I have run across another one in the same HMO that we were in when she was a baby though. That girl was probably about 6 years older than mine.

My husband and I had our names picked out before the baby was born. We didn't know what we were having for the first two. My daughter so wanted me to have twins the last pregnancy so she could have a sister. She still wants a sister. Oh well.

Dessa,

Too funny. :lol:

I like all the name you've picked. I'm kinda partial to Charlie though. My favorite cats name was Charlie :P

When my husband and I were pregnant with our son (1st born) we were planning on naming him Sean (after hubby's bf) Then, I was sitting at the dinner table with my Mom and it just came to me, "August". She looked at me and said, "that was my grandfathers name!" My husband and I knew we had found our boy's name. It fits him perfectly :wub:

You will know what to name your son, you will feel it :)

I vote for Charles. It is actually one of the names that I want but I can't seem to get my husband on board. :) Tyler is a very nice name as well but speaking as someone who has had 9 friends give birth this year alone, and 8 more who are currently pregnant (no I am not exaggerating, it's genuinely bizarre) I can tell you that Tyler is going to be a very common name. He will probably be one of four Tylers in his class that will probably include five girls named Taylor. Apparently Taylor is the new Jennifer. However, since it is going to be his name forever I say if you really like Tyler than go for it. You have to pick something you love.

As for popularity...I've been teaching for ten years and have never had a student named Tyler.

Harrison ? My friend called her son that and its a great name if you like it :lol: Harry or Harrison for later. I had a list of names but never was able to have kids - so Tobias, Rupert, Broderick.....( you should see my girls list ! )

Tyler is nice but a top female singer was Bonnie Tyler going back a while. How about Taylor ?

Robin is boy and Robyn is girl but seems mixed up now.

Last night we officially decided on Tyler James! I'm very happy with our choice and glad to have the decision behind now. Now I'm going to start on his room and buying all the gear he will need.

I can't think of a better name. I absolutely love Tyler James (and Ty for short).

      Thank you for the clarification and for taking the time to explain the terminology so clearly. I really appreciate your insight, especially the distinction between celiac disease and NCGS and how anemia can point more toward celiac. This was very helpful for me.

      Son's legs shaking

      Hi, My 7 year daughter has complained of this in the past, which I thought were part of her glutening symptom, but more recently I have come to figure out it's part of her histamine overload symptom. This one symptom was part of her broader profile, which included irritability, extreme hunger, confusion, post-nasal drip. You might want to look up "histamine...

      Son's legs shaking

      My 5yo was diagnosed with celiac last year by being tested after his sister was diagnosed. We are very strict on the gluten-free diet, but unsure what his reactions are as he was diagnosed without many symptoms other than low ferritin. He had a school party where his teacher made gluten-free gingerbread men. I almost said no because she made it in her...

      Bob red mill gluten free oats

      Not necessarily. The "Gluten Free" label means not more than 20ppm of gluten in the product which is often not enough for super sensitive celiacs. You would need to be looking for "Certified Gluten Free" (GFCO endorsed) which means no more than 10ppm of gluten. Having said that, "Gluten Free" doesn't mean that there will necessarily be more gluten than "Certified...

      High TTG-IgG and Normal TTG-IgA

      By trents · Posted

      Currently, there are no tests for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out and we do have testing for celiac disease. There are two primary test modalities for diagnosing celiac disease. One involves checking for antibodies in the blood. For the person with celiac disease, when gluten is ingested, it produces an autoimmune response in the lining of the small bowel which generates specific kinds of antibodies. Some people are IGA deficient and such that the IGA antibody tests done for celiac disease will have skewed results and cannot be trusted. In that case, there are IGG tests that can be ordered though, they aren't quite as specific for celiac disease as the IGA tests. But the possibility of IGA deficiency is why a "total IGA" test should always be ordered along with the TTG-IGA. The other modality is an endoscopy (scoping of the upper GI track) with a biopsy of the small bowel lining. The aforementioned autoimmune response produces inflammation in the small bowel lining which, over time, damages the structure of the lining. The biopsy is sent to a lab and microscopically analyzed for signs of this damage. If the damage is severe enough, it can often be spotted during the scoping itself. The endoscopy/biopsy is used as confirmation when the antibody results are positive, since there is a small chance that elevated antibody test scores can be caused by things other than celiac disease, particularly when the antibody test numbers are not particularly high. If the antibody test numbers are 10x normal or higher, physicians will sometimes declare an official diagnosis of celiac disease without an endoscopy/biopsy, particularly in the U.K. Some practitioners use stool tests to detect celiac disease but this modality is not widely recognized in the medical community as valid. Both celiac testing modalities outlined above require that you have been consuming generous amounts of gluten for weeks/months ahead of time. Many people make the mistake of experimenting with the gluten free diet or even reducing their gluten intake prior to testing. By doing so, they invalidate the testing because antibodies stop being produced, disappear from the blood and the lining of the small bowel begins to heal. So, then they are stuck in no man's land, wondering if they have celiac disease or NCGS. To resume gluten consumption, i.e., to undertake a "gluten challenge" is out of the question because their reaction to gluten is so strong that it would endanger their health. The lining of the small bowel is the place where all of the nutrition in the food we consume is absorbed. This lining is made up of billions of microscopically tiny fingerlike projections that create a tremendous nutrient absorption surface area. The inflammation caused by celiac disease wears down these fingers and greatly reduces the surface area needed for nutrient absorption. Thus, people with celiac disease often develop iron deficiency anemia and a host of other vitamin and mineral deficiencies. It is likely that many more people who have issues with gluten suffer from NCGS than from celiac disease. We actually know much more about the mechanism of celiac disease than we do about NCGS but some experts believe NCGS can transition into celiac disease.

This one symptom was part of her broader profile, which included irritability, extreme hunger, confusion, post-nasal drip. You might want to look up "histamine intolerance". I wish I had known of this at the time of her diagnosis, life would have been much easier.  I hope you are able to figure out.

We are very strict on the gluten-free diet, but unsure what his reactions are as he was diagnosed without many symptoms other than low ferritin.  He had a school party where his teacher made gluten-free gingerbread men. I almost said no because she made it in her kitchen but I thought it would be ok.  Next day and for a few after his behavior is awful. Hitting, rude, disrespectful. Mainly he kept saying his legs were shaking. Is this a gluten exposure symptom that anyone else gets? Also the bad behavior?
