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.

      For some context: I have type 1 diabetes (T1D) (since 11 years) and celiac disease(since 4 years) For about a year now, I’ve been experiencing permanent floating and undigested stools. I’ve had a pancreas elastase test done. The first result was extremely low at 44, but a second test came back at 236. My doctor said that since one result is normal, it rules out pancreatic insufficiency because, according to them, elastase levels would always stay low if that were the issue. However, could the 236 have been a false result? My doctor also thinks I don’t have pancreatic insufficiency because I’m able to gain weight. I also get hgh injections as my bone age is younger than my real age, this also contributes to weight gain, so I dont know if weight gain can rule out malabsorption. But maybe if I had real malabsorption I wouldnt gain any weight even with hgh? For celiac, I’m on a gluten-free diet, but there might b small cross-contamination from things like pepper labeled as “may contain gluten.” or sausages which dont have gluten ingredient but say may contain. My doctor said that small amounts like this wouldn’t harm me and even mentioned that an occasional small exposure to gluten may not do much damage (which seems questionable since I thought even tiny amounts could be harmful). She also said that when Im older (Im m17) I could try eating small amounts of gluten and do antibody blood tests to see if I can tolerate small amounts or not. For reference, I’m asymptomatic when it comes to celiac, so I have no idea if I’ve been “glutened” or not. My first concerning celiac blood test was semi high IgA, then 3 months later we did a check up and my IgA was high so it was confirmed celiac. Since than I’ve had celiac antibody tests done yearly to see how my diet is going, and they’ve been negative, but I’ve heard those aren’t always reliable. I’ve never had a follow-up endoscopy to confirm healing. I also always kept eating „may contain gluten“ food. (I live in Germany so I dont know if „may contain gluten“ is as risky as in the usa but I suppose both are as risky) These stool issues started around the same time I was doing excessive heavy lifting at the gym. Could stress or lifting have triggered this, or is that less likely since the symptoms persist even after I stopped lifting? Occasionally, I’ll feel very mild stomach discomfort, but it’s rare and not severe. My doctor (also a dietist) said floating, undigested stools could still be “normal,” but that doesn’t seem realistic to me. Could this be impacting my vitamin or protein absorption? I also did a fructose intolerance breath test and had a high baseline of 20 ppm, but it never increased—only decreased over time. I fasted for 12 hours and didn’t eat fructose beforehand, but my stomach didn’t feel completely empty during the test. Could this mean the test was inaccurate? For lactose intolerance, I did the breath test but only fasted 10 hours and had eaten lactose prior because I wasn’t aware of the proper diet restrictions. My results were: 14, 12, 15, 25, 35, 40, 40 ppm—which would be considered positive. But given that I didn’t fast long enough or follow the right diet, could this result be unreliable? Has anyone else dealt with similar symptoms? What ended up being the cause for you? And sorry for the long text!

      The Docs' and NP haven't committed to Celiac determination yet but say go gluten-free diet because...  And I have with improved physical results - feeling better; overall functions better, and more energy.  Still 10 pounds down in weight but I still have BMI of ~23.  It's been just over a month now gluten-free diet.  I'm fortunate I get along with diary/milk well and most other foods. I wanted ask about this site's sponsor, gliadin X.  If this is legit, seems like a good product to keep on hand. Though it says it's only a safety for incidental gluten contact - not a substitue for gluten-free diet. What's your input on this? This may be sensitive subject since they're a sponsor. I've used resources here and other sites for information, gluten-free food/product lists. So thank you for all that support. That's it for now - Stay warm...  -2F this morning in Colorado!

      I did suffer with gastric symptoms before diagnosis, but got all sorts of weird and wacky symptoms after going gluten free.   Things got much better once my antibodies fell to normal levels, but it took years (please don't panic, many people's go to normal levels relatively quickly when following a gluten-free diet). Causes of the symptoms you mention that I also experienced were iron supplements, a temporary dairy intolerance (this is common in coeliacs and should pass when your gut heals properly), and eating oats, as mentioned above.  Other symptoms I got were musculoskeletal pain after diagnosis, but again, once my coeliac blood tests were normal, I had no more pain. I did notice patterns emerging in foods that I reacted to and learned to steer clear of them, then gradually reintroduced them when my gut healed, such as soya, pure oats and dairy products.    You might like to keep a food diary.

      Well the conflicting results continue as the biopsy has come back negative. 😵‍💫 Waiting to discuss further but I really don’t know what to think now? Eight biopsy’s were taken from duodenum which surely should be sufficient if it was coeliac?

      I have Celiacs and want you to be aware of the amount of weight you can potentially put on if you rely on gluten free snacks, bread etc.,they  are high in carbs.  I put on 25 lbs in a short amount of time.  Whole Foods are the best way to go but I struggle with this.  The cost of gluten free is also a problem.  I love black licorice but most have gluten.  My favorite chili seasoning as well.  The list is endless.  I take  Advil liquid gels and had no idea until I read this.  I hope you do better than I have done.  I feel I am destined to suffer daily no matter what.  My aunt didn’t take care of herself and died from complications.  I hope you can get on a good routine.
