Answer the "Name the Baby Sweepstakes" question......
My wife and I are expecting a baby in February and have not decided on a name yet. Instead of thinking of one ourselves, we decided to leave it up to the person that answers this question correctly. (By the way we don't know yet if the child will be a boy or girl.) Okay, here is the question. 2+2=????????? Good luck!!!!! If you think you know the answer, provide a name for a boy and girl.

3. That would be "4", and if it's a boy Daniel, if it's a girl Paola.
I actually did this when my wife and I were expecting, but I put up a poll with all the names we were thinking about (We knew it was a boy by this point) and tons of people responded. Although, the name we picked out was one of the least liked on the Poll.

7. Let me put it in these terms . . .
The Board Of Directors of a huge corporation needed to hire a new CEO. After a long process, they finally narrowed the list of candidates down to three: An accountant, a mathematician, and a lawyer.

They called all three in for final interviews.

The accountant was first. The Chairman said, “We just have one question to ask you. What is 2+2?” The accountant responded, “That’s easy. Four.” He was thanked and told that they would be in touch.

The mathematician was second. They again queried, “What is 2+2?” The mathematician pulled out his calculator, punched keys and replied, “Given the infinity of zero, the answer is 3.9999999999999999.” The board thanked him and said that they would notify him of their decision.

Finally, it was time for the lawyer to be interviewed. The lawyer appeared and, of course, the Chairman asked, “What is 2+2?”

The lawyer looked each director in the eyes, stood up, walked to the door, shut the door, walked to each window in the room, closed the blinds, turned to the directors and said, “How much do you want it to be?”

10. 2+2? Right here:

The guy selling it says it's a 2+2 anyway. Heaven knows you don't want me to have any say in your baby's name. (I tend to suggest names like Hambone.)

17. 4
Now for the names. If it's a girl she should be named Zoa Margaux. I think it sounds beautiful and you don't see Z's and X's used in names enough }(. If it's a boy he should be named Elston Howard. I have an uncle named after him and I've always thought that was the coolest guy's name ever.

18. Ok.
I'll let you know what my names were that I initially picked when I had my daughter. I ended up naming her after a family member. Originally I wanted to name a boy Edward (just an old, strong name) and wanted to name a girl Flannery(after the writer).
If I were ever to have another daughter I would name her Flannery. Just have fun finding a middle name!

19. Not Unusual
but these were the names I always planned on using if I ever had kids, which will probably never happen now for a lot of reasons but any way,

I have always liked Zachariah for a boy and Amanda for a girl.

My reasoning was you have to pick a name that has a good short nick name like Zach or Mandy, because you need to be able to reserve their full name for when your good and pissed at them. :evilgrin:
