Help! Need a girls name

16 years ago

Our daughter is expecting her second child. A girl. She is looking for a really different name. Something you never hear. Our first grandbaby they named Jaedyn Lynsey. We really like it. We need help with another name. Any suggestions? We need names.

Thanks

Donna

My daughters name is Cristyna (Cris Tie Na) but we just call her Tyna, a name that is seldom heard, if ever. She is named after my great grandmother. Only know of 1 other, and that is a girl that was named after her because the parents wanted a different name, and liked it.

Hey tiger I was just thinking of you guys and logged on to let you know the system went in last Thursday and just in time b/c we went from mild mild weather to high 80's over night. I cannot BELIEVE how big the AC UNIT is nor how quiet! I can hear my neighbor's run (little goodman unit, little compared to my monster!) but not my unit. Super quiet. I did go with the IAQ thing and not sure on it yet for me - seems to keep registering a higher than I believe normal outside temp - off by maybe 8 degrees or so and NOT in the sun. I went with the Lennox system I listed above, was unable to make any changes to my order but was assured that it was spec'ed properly and I am "lennox certified" etc. House feels GREAT! I tend to run this AC at 74 and be more than comfortable vs. the 72 I an on my old old unit. Maybe more efficient? It pushed 90 here on Saturday so it was a good test day for it. All in all I can't thank you guys enough. I cannot believe I almost just replaced my heat pump b/c that is what I had before. come to find out NO ONE else had a heat pump in my neighborhood? This forum has been a godsend. SO GRATEFUL for your time and effort guys. Melissa

The bead board appears top be oak. Oak is relatively easy to stain as it takes the stain evenly,needing no pre-stain sealer. One of the functions of stain is to not only impart color initially, but to keep it from turning darker with age. If it has been in place for several months, it has probably already reach its dark point. You could stabilize it and lighten it somewhat by giving it a white "pickling stain". the white pigment gets stuck in the grain and any indentations. Hopefully you have some scraps to practice on before commiting to the whole room. If putting a clear varnish over the paneling, the water based urethane varnishes will dry clear and remain so. Oil based varnishes initially are slightly amber and get more so with age. WB urethanes are also much less odor and VOC's , important when working in inhabited spaces. Both spray well, if you have access to conventional air spray equipment. At least two coats would be advised for uniformity of sheen. I would finish and protect the stained paneling before doing the other paint work. If you should accidentally get paint on the bare wood grain, it will be very difficult to get rid of the blotch, which would show through the stain.

And wasn't that the first day of summer? Great name!

Seems today's parents are going for the unusual. I thought I did too years ago, only to find that everyone was naming their daughter Jennifer then.

Seems there's also a trend back to old fashioned names. I go to classes with my granddaughter and some of the names of the two year olds are Abigale, Lucille, Rebeka, Elizabeth, Janice, Susan, and MaryBeth. Some of the boys names are Timothy, Mathew, Jonah, Nick, Paul, and Thomas.
Seems there is a trend for the new and also the old.
