Release Date Contest

In publishing, the date when a book goes on sale is called the "Release Date". We always release on Tuesdays and ninety-nine percent of the time, that date is set in stone months in advance.

Oh, that you could plan a baby's arrival the same way. :) "Sal" Marchese is due on November 26th, and we allowed our little person to keep his or her gender a secret from us. Sal is just the baby's in utero nickname and is not our final moniker choice.

You are welcome to submit your best guesses regarding the release of our "first edition" in the comments section of this blog post. You don't have to register if you don't want- although Blogger will prompt it - but if you sign in as anonymous, just make sure to put your name in the comment too. Please note that you must first click on the header of this entry "Release Day Contest" and then go to the bottom of the entry and click on "Post Comment" - not subscribe to comments. That should take you to the comments page.

Prizes! Yes, we will award three prizes for correct or closest guesses - because there should always be prizes.

Birthdate:
Gender:
Boy Name:
Girl Name:

{Not weight and length, because I don't want your big baby guesses to jinx me.} :)

I wish MY name was Poppy.
My brain has to stew on the possibilities of names, but let me just remind you two that research has shown that:
Boys (and girls) with conservative, really common names like David and Michael earn the most, AND
Girls with two-to-three syllable, soft-vowel-ending names like Sofia or Ella are perceived as the sexier than those with names such as Elizabeth or Jane.
Damn researchers. Always making you have second thoughts.

GIRL

Nov. 27, early morning

For a baby girl: Delaney Ruth OR
Brawney Kiki (Grace picked this one)

For a baby boy: Leo Matthias OR
Brawney Kiki (Grace again - apparently, it's a unisex name)

I'm partial to family names, though, memories of those before us. Got any good ones? We should've used "Wisdom" for Grace's middle name; it's Eric's mom's maiden name. So what if it demands a lot from a little girl -- Grace Wisdom! ha!

A boy - born on November 25th in the evening. Probably will weigh about 7 lbs and 6 oz.

Name: seriously? I had a horrid time naming by own boy.. how about: Vincent Paul Marchese..

and just in case I'm wrong, you could name your girl: Christina Lanae.. and if it's a girl it won't weigh as much - like 7 lbs 1 oz. Good luck!!
