Name Quest

My sister-in-law's sister is expecting her third baby. She and her husband have opted not to know the gender of this little one because they have a girl and a boy already. They want to try one the "old-fashioned" way. Maybe the surprise will be twins and they will have one of each...

The trick is, they are trying to keep a naming pattern that I had already thought was pretty tricky, but only tonight realized a new dimension of its complexity.

Their daughter is Ruth, and their son is Garreth. They would like to continue the "th" ending of the next baby's name. Tonight, my brother and sister-in-law also pointed out that their first child's name is one syllable, their second child's name is two syllables, and they would like their third child's name to have three syllables. (Maybe that is how Mahonri Moriancumer got such a long name....) That seemed nearly impossible to me at first, but was surprised at how many names do end in "th".
Join in the baby naming festivities, keeping the guidelines in mind. A girl or a boy name ending in "th", preferrably 3 syllables long.
Here are some I thought of or was able to find. Many are courtesy of a baby name finding website.

3-syllable names: Meredith, Goliath, Asenath, Acenith, Sherideth, Yamileth, Geneseth, Hyacinth, Lilibeth, Amaranth, and Maribeth.

Under 3-syllable names: Faith, Truth, Leith (yeah--a twist on Leif), Seth, Beth, Barth, Ardith, Edith, Garth, Hearth, Mirth, Heath, Wrath, Alith, Tabith, Corinth, Health, Bath, Worth, Firth, Griffith, Japeth, Jareth, Lilith, Judith, Blythe, Gweneth, Jacinth, Janeth, Keith, Kenneth, Laith, North, South, Wadsworth, Wentworth, and Wordsworth.
More than 3-syllable names: Elizabeth.

Right now, I believe that they are calling the baby Penelope/Mortimer--or is it Penelopeth/Mortimerth?
What other names can you add to the list?

Wow! This is fun! Thanks for the help (we really need it). As for now we have officially found a three syllable girl name ending in 'th' that we like (we're keeping it a secret though.. just for fun!)

Keep on throwing out suggestions for boy names though!

Just to put it out there, and I know that someone is going to take me up on my offer, and I know that it doesn't follow the pattern. But if it's a girl name her Angela. Think about it.

Let's Get It Started

Today I found a new online party planning resource . Holiday, birthday, bridal shower, baby shower, weddings, etc. It helps you create invitations or ecards, is customizable, offers list management and guest list management, sends event/birthday reminders, manages potluck sign up lists, links to Twitter and Facebook, helps you decide on a date, links to your e-calendar, links to party planning supplies, manages a to-do list, offers party planning ideas, hints and tips, and is pretty much amazing. In addition, it is free. I'm hooked.

Shot and Chaser

I did it! Today I braved a shot of wheat grass and am forever grateful to the Jamba Juice employee (Alexa) who recommended the orange juice shot as a chaser over an orange wedge. I'm not sure why today was such a momentous day. Wheat grass is something I've wanted to try for a while, but haven't dared do - kind of like my purchasing soy milk and hesitance to drink. (Thanks, Renee , for the recent soy smoothie introduction!) All I can say now is wow, wheat grass - talk about fresh!

Puttin' on the Witch!

Tonight, the majority of my family met at Gardner Village for dinner at Archibald's and then planned to wander the Village. It's Witchapalooza and witching time at the Village. By the time we finished dinner, most of the shops were closing. We looked around a bit and snapped a few pictures. I'll post them another time. The witches and pumpkins and Halloween decor was frightfully fun, but I don't think I've had such poor customer service at a restaurant before. I wish I could say that the restaurant was packed. Maybe there were extenuating circumstances we weren't aware of. Maybe it was an off night for them. Maybe I'm just grouchy. Birthdays sometimes do that. Guess I'd better see the Witch Doctor or something to get it straightened out. The company was grand: mom and dad; Adam, Renee, AJ, and EL; Nathan, Bekah, RD, and AM, and me. Their service gave us a lot of time to sit and visit. RD and AJ were darling. Both were in very good moods. RD had on hi...
