I like Donovan. (Don, Donny, Van)

I like Gunther, too.

Because I teach, I like the idea of having a unique name --- but not a bizarre name.

I like the "older" names that have fallen out of the "Top Ten" lists, but are still good solid names....like

Timothy

Thomas

Neil

My cousin is having a son, soon, and they are naming him Levi - cute. I can picture him in little Osh Gosh Overalls already.

I know someone named Tobin. (toe-bin) I always thought that was neat.

Good luck choosing! My parents named my little sister within minutes of her birth. They were stuck on Bethany the entire pregnancy and at the last minute chose Ashley (a family name - before there were a million Ashley's around).

Have fun!

Amy, being a teacher, do you think the other kids would make fun of a kid named Gunther (Gunn, Gunny)? I really like the name. The more I think about it, the more I like it.

Keep those ideas coming guys. I'm hoping something will jump out and grab me.

And don't forget, you can always change their name!! I was born amber adelle, but never once did I answer to amber. It just never fit. I went by adelle until I was 9 and my mom officially changed it. I LOVE my name. My BFF's dh never went by his given name, always answered to his dad's name. They changed it when he was like 3 yo. I brought up Gunther to my hubby (he's good at making fun of names ha ha), and he couldn't really think of anything. I like your list. Relax and good luck!!

I too am pregnant. I have three boys named Bryce, Braden(Brady) and Connor. I am really having a hard time coming up with a boys name that fits with theirs.

A friend of ours named their baby Gunner and I didn't like it at first, but now i really like it. I think that would be another option for you, if you like it. I do think Gunther is a bit different. Everyone is SOOOOOOOO different though in what they like it is amazing. You will never find that everyone likes the name you pick. SOme will hate it and some will love it, but if they really love your child, it will grow on them and in the end I think they will like the name.

Goodluck deciding.

I also like different names and some common names spelled differently, it makes them stand out.

I want to name my girl Kortlyn. This thread has helped me and John start thinking about babys.

I like classic names. My daughter is Katherine. My husband is Bill & I'm Susan. Maybe I'm old fashioned.

My brother and sister-in-law are due in June. His initials are M.A.D. after my grampy who was H.A.D and if theirs is a boy it is going to be B.A.D.

I like classic names too; but I like Gunther as a first name. I think it could be a German orgin anyway so it would fit with the last name.

My sister in law wanted to name her girl some odd sounding name and my only comment was "make sure it doesn't mean something else (that could be a bad word) in another language...."

I've always - since the 1970's when I was a teenager -- liked the name Mariah. I liked it before Mariah Carey. I believe Mariah is the name of a mountain in the Old Testament. I also love Rachel. Mike & I always joked that we'd name our children (using last name of Martin) : Martin Martin, Steve Martin, Richard Martin, Mary Martin, Short Martin (using Martin, Short ha ha) - to youngsters , these were all celebrities or actors in the past. Alas, we never had children nor pets so no name damage was ever done.

When I was a kid I had two great Aunts with very Italian names of Bachelene and Sigalucha. As a kid I thought the names were strange, they weren't simple like Maria, Angela, Donna. They must have been from a different side of Italy.

Gunther is a very German name, as is Guhl. From what I gather, it means nothing in German, just a last name. It was my grandmother's maiden name and she liked it so much she kept her name when she got married. I remember her always being very proud of her German heritage. When my mother was sick and couldn't take care of my brother and I, my grandmother took us in until she was well again. She played a HUGE part in my younger years. She also taught me to paint and draw. She only got to meet my daughter a few times as she fell ill quickly after her birth. Before she went blind, I believe she saw Tori once. I think it would be a nice way of honoring her, to name my son after her. I still haven't decided though.

Blake is one of the newer names to go onto our list. We love that name! :) Still, I think the family name is priority for us.

Angie ~ I really think you should stick with Gunther then. Your grandmother sounds like a wonderful person to honor.

My kids both have middle names for family. My son (Nicholas Charles) was named for my father who passed away when I was only 17 years old. I am also a big "meaning" fan, though. His name means Victorious Man and I remind him of that sometimes. He tends to have a low self confidence and image of himself sometimes. My dd (Carleigh Grayce) was named in part because Carleigh is a derivative of Charles and Grayce was my grandmother's best friend. She was my mom's godmother and a wonderful person. When my grandmother died, also before my kids were born, she "took us over" as likes to say. I thought it honored both of them because my grandmother's name was Gussie and she always hated it.

      4.5 years into diagnosis, eating gluten-free and still struggling: would love support, tips, & stories

      By lehum · Posted

      Hi and thank you very much for your detailed response! I am so glad that the protocol worked so well for you and helped you to get your health back on track. I've heard of it helping other people too. One question I have is how did you maintain your weight on this diet? I really rely on nuts and rice to keep me at a steady weight because I tend to lose weight quickly and am having a hard time envisioning how to make it work, especially when not being able to eat things like nuts and avocados. In case you have any input, woud be great to hear it! Friendly greetings.

      Is this celiac?

      By Hmart · Posted

      I was not taking any medications previous to this. I was a healthy 49 yo with some mild stomach discomfort. I noticed the onset of tinnitus earlier this year and I had Covid at the end of June. My first ‘flare-up’ with these symptoms was in August and I was eating gluten like normal. I had another flare-up in September and then got an upper endo at the end of September that showed possible celiac. My blood test came a week later. While I didn’t stop eating gluten before I had the blood test, I had cut back on food and gluten both. I had a flare-up with this symptoms after one week of gluten free but wasn’t being crazy careful. Then I had another flare-up this week. I think it might have been caused by Trader Joe’s baked tofu which I didn’t realize had wheat. But I don’t know if these flare-ups are caused by gluten or if there’s something else going on. I am food journaling and tracking all symptoms. I have lost 7 pounds in the last 10 days.

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Hmart! There are other medical conditions besides celiac disease that can cause villous atrophy as well as some medications and for some people, the dairy protein casein. So, your question is a valid one. Especially in view of the fact that your antibody testing was negative, though there are also some seronegative celiacs. So, do you get reactions every time you consume gluten? If you were to purposely consume a slice of bread would you be certain to develop the symptoms you describe?

      Does anyone here also have Afib

      I only went on the multi vitamin AFTER a couple of year of high dose, targeted supplementation resolved most of my deficiencies.  I was on quite a cocktail of vitamins that was changed every 6 months as my deficiencies resolved.  Those that were determined to be genetic are still addressed with specific doses of those vitamins, minerals and amino acids. I have an update on my husband and his A Fib.  He ended up in the hospital in August 2025 when his A Fib would not convert.  He took the maximum dose of Flecainide allowed within a 24 hour period.  It was a nightmare experience!  They took him into the ER immediately.  They put in a line, drew blood, did an EKG and chest Xray all within minutes.  Never saw another human for 6 hours.  Never got any results, but obviously we could see he was still in A fib by watching the monitor.  They have the family sign up for text alerts at the ER desk.  So glad I did.  That is the only way we found out that he was being admitted.  About an hour after that text someone came to take him to his room on an observation floor.  We were there two hours before we saw another human being and believe it or not that was by zoom on the TV in the room.  It was admissions wanting to know his vaccine status and confirming his insurance, which we provided at the ER desk.  They said someone would be in and finally a nurse arrived.  He was told a hospitalist was in charge of his case.  Finally the NP for the hospitalist showed up and my husband literally blew his stack.  He got so angry and yelled at this poor woman, but it was exactly what he needed to convert himself to sinus rhythm while she was there.  They got an EKG machine and confirmed it.  She told him that they wanted to keep him overnight and would do an echo in the morning and they were concerned about a wound on his leg and wanted to do a doppler to make sure he did not have a DVT.  He agreed.  The echo showed everything fine, just as it was at his annual check up in June and there was no DVT.  A cardiologist finally showed up to discharge him and after reviewing his history said the A Fib was due to the Amoxicillan prescribed for his leg wound.  It both triggers A Fib and prevents the Flecainide from working.  His conversion coincided with the last dose of antibiotic getting out of his system.  So, make sure your PCP understands what antibiotics you can or cannot take if susceptible to A Fib.  This cardiologist (not his regular) wanted him on Metoprolol 25 mg and Pradaxa.  My husband told him that his cardiologist axed the idea of a beta blocker because his heart rate is already low.  Sure enough, it dropped to 42 on the Metoprolol and my husband felt horrible.  The pradaxa gave him a full body rash!  He went back to his cardiologist for follow up and his BP was fine and heart rate in the mid 50's.  He also axed the Pradaxa since my husband has low platelets, bruises easily and gets bloody noses just from Fish Oil  He suggested he take Black Cumin Seed Oil for inflammation.  He discovered that by taking the Black Seed oil, he can eat carbs and not go into A Fib, since it does such a good job of reducing inflammation.   Oh and I forgot to say the hospital bill was over $26,000.  Houston Methodist!
