Wife and I saw our 21 wk ultrasound today and it's definitely a boy! (We have a 3-yr-old girl already). Of course either would have been fine but we were hoping for a matching set :)

So does anyone really think the name "Jayne" would fly for a boy? (Johnny Cash's theory of child-toughening notwithstanding.)

I'd suggest making Jayne a middle name, for your son's sake 8 or 10 years down the road. My ex wanted to name our son "Dante", but that would have made his name "Dante Blosser", a little too close to "Dainty Blossom" for my comfort (Blossom was one of my non-favorite nicknames is primary school - kids can be so cruel!) So his name is Cameron Dante, a decent compromise.
Oh, and congratulations, to you and your wife!

Kids are going to find a mean nickname no matter what you do. Give him a name he can be proud of when he is old enough to understand. He'll thank you someday.

Perfect name here: I think you should name him Joshua Malcom. Call him Joss for short. Covers all your important bases--he'll be named after a god and a gentleman. And, indirectly, me of course.

Congratulations, Browncoat!

As a parent of a matching set myself, all I can say is I think Jayne is a great name. But, perhaps short for something else. I mean, my last name is Barks. Believe me, kids are the rudest, crudest, cruelest bastards on the face of the planet!

But, congrats again.

Congratulations!

And yeah, kids'll come up with a hurtful nickname no matter what you call him --but that doesn't mean you have to make it easy for 'em.

I'm going with the common thought here.

"Jayne" is actually a boy's name if you're talking Celtic here. Back home in Limerick, I actually have a cousin named Jayne and noone gives it a second thought.

However in the good ol' U.S. of A., I'd stick with Jayne as a middle name.

Perhaps. . ."Christopher" as a first name?

That's my name, obviously. The only problem I see with it is that there are so myn of us named Chris.

In school there always seemed to be three of us to a class, and the teacher would ask Chris to answer a quection. It always took a minute for us to figure out which one.

I was really only suggesting Christopher because that's MY first name.

Bit of a joke.
