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.

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      @rei.b, I understand how frustrating starting a new way of eating can be. I tried all sorts of gluten-free processed foods and just kept feeling worse. My health didn't improve until I started the low histamine AIP diet. It makes a big difference. Gluten fits into opioid receptors in our bodies. So, removing gluten can cause withdrawal symptoms...

      Finding gluten free ingredients

      Imemsm, Most of us have experienced discontinued, not currently available or products that suddenly become seasonal. My biggest fear about relocating from Maryland to Florida 5 years ago, was being able to find gluten-free foods that fit my restricted diet. I soon found out that the Win Dixie and Publix supper markets actually has 99% of their gluten-free...

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      Okay well the info about TTG-A actually makes a lot of sense and I wish the PA had explained that to me. But yes, I would assume I would have intestinal damage from eating a lot of gluten for 32 years while having all these symptoms. As far as avoiding gluten foods - I was definitely not doing that. Bread, pasta, quesadillas (with flour tortillas) and...

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      So you're saying that you think you should have severe intestinal damage since you've had the symptoms so long? DGP IgG antibodies are produced in response to a partial gluten molecule. This is different than what tissue transglutaminase antibodies are produced in response to. TTg IgA antibodies are produced in the intestines in response to...

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      I was tested for celiac at the same time, so I wasn't taking naltrexone yet. I say that, because I don't. The endoscopy showed some mild inflammation but was inconclusive as to celiac disease. They took several biopsies and that's all that was shown. I was not given a Marsh score.

      @rei.b,  I understand how frustrating starting a new way of eating can be.  I tried all sorts of gluten-free processed foods and just kept feeling worse.  My health didn't improve until I started the low histamine AIP diet.  It makes a big difference.   Gluten fits into opioid receptors in our bodies.  So, removing gluten can cause withdrawal symptoms and reveals the underlying discomfort.  SIBO can cause digestive symptoms.  SIBO can prevent vitamins from being absorbed by the intestines.  Thiamine insufficiency causes Gastrointestinal Beriberi (bloating, abdominal pain, nausea, diarrhea or constipation).  Thiamine is the B vitamin that runs out first because it can only be stored for two weeks.  We need more thiamine when we're sick or under emotional stress.  Gastric Beriberi is under recognised by doctors.  An Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity test is more accurate than a blood test for thiamine deficiency, but the best way to see if you're low in thiamine is to take it and look for health improvement.  Don't take Thiamine Mononitrate because the body can't utilize it well.  Try Benfotiamine.  Thiamine is water soluble, nontoxic and safe even at high doses.  I thought it was crazy, too, but simple vitamins and minerals are important.  The eight B vitamins work together, so a B Complex, Benfotiamine,  magnesium and Vitamin D really helped get my body to start healing, along with the AIP diet.  Once you heal, you add foods back in, so the AIP diet is worth doing for a few months. I do hope you'll consider the AIP diet and Benfotiamine.

      Imemsm, Most of us have experienced discontinued, not currently available or products that suddenly become seasonal.   My biggest fear about relocating from Maryland to Florida 5 years ago, was being able to find gluten-free foods that fit my restricted diet.  I soon found out that the Win Dixie and Publix supper markets actually has 99% of their gluten-free foods tagged, next to the price.  The gluten-free tags opened up a  lot of foods that aren't actually marked gluten-free by the manufacture.  Now I only need to check for my other dietary restrictions.  Where my son lives in New Hartford, New York there's a Hannaford Supermarket that also has a gluten-free tag next to the price tag.  Hopefully you can locate a Supermarket within a reasonable travel distance that you can learn what foods to check out at a Supermarket close to you.  I have dermatitis herpetiformis too and I'm very sensitive to gluten and the three stores I named were very gluten-free friendly.  Good Luck

But yes, I would assume I would have intestinal damage from eating a lot of gluten for 32 years while having all these symptoms. As far as avoiding gluten foods - I was definitely not doing that. Bread, pasta, quesadillas (with flour tortillas) and crackers are my 4 favorite foods and I ate at least one of those things multiple times a day e.g. breakfast with eggs and toast, a cheese quesadilla for lunch, and pasta for dinner, and crackers and cheese as a before bed snack. I'm not even kidding.  I'm not really big on sugar, so I don't really do sweets. I don't have any of those conditions.  I am not sure if I have the genes or not. When the geneticist did my genetic testing for EDS this year, I didn't think to ask for him to request the celiac genes so they didn't test for them, unfortunately.  I guess another expectation I had is  that if gluten was the issue, the gluten-free diet would make me feel better, and I'm 3 months in and that hasn't been the case. I am being very careful and reading every label because I didn't want to screw this up and have to do gluten-free for longer than necessary if I end up not having celiac. I'm literally checking everything, even tea and anything else prepacked like caramel dip. Honestly its making me anxious 😅

      So you're saying that you think you should have severe intestinal damage since you've had the symptoms so long?   DGP IgG antibodies are produced in response to a partial gluten molecule.  This is different than what tissue transglutaminase antibodies are  produced in response to.   TTg IgA antibodies are produced in the intestines in response to gluten.  The tTg IgA antibodies attack our own cells because a structural component in our cell membranes resembles a part of gluten.  There's a correlation between the level of intestinal damage with the level of tTg antibodies produced.  You are not producing a high number of tTg IgA antibodies, so your level of tissue damage in your intestines is not very bad.  Be thankful.   There may be reasons why you are not producing a high quantity of tTg IgA antibodies.  Consuming ten grams or more of gluten a day for two weeks to two months before blood tests are done is required to get sufficient antibody production and damage to the intestines.  Some undiagnosed people tend to subconsciously avoid lots of gluten.  Cookies and cakes do not contain as much gluten as artisan breads and thick chewy pizza crust.  Anemia, diabetes and thiamine deficiency can affect IgA antibody production as well.   Do you carry genes for Celiac?  They frequently go along with EDS.
