Congrats buddy. We are about 90% sure we are having a boy too so thats awesome. Congrats on the launch and initial success of icaptionmobile also. We are about to submit my pregnancy app ‘ Pimp My Ultrasound” next week so its a little nerve racking thinking about it. I had a few questions to run by you and left you a message earlier. if you get a chance, give me a buzz.
OHH, did you see your ultrasound pic that I “pimped” out for you?

Congratulations! Keoni is a beautiful, strong name for a boy. As he grows, he will realize how special it is. It’s nice to see a Hawaiian first name. Even here in Hawaii a Hawaiian name is commonly a middle name, although that is definitely changing. An excellent site if you are interested in Hawaiian culture and language: http://kgmb9.com/main/content/blogcategory/41/173/

Congratulations on finding out it’s a boy Pat

As for choosing a non typical name, I can say from having an unusual name myself that it has been nothing but good for me and good luck with your fantasy football league.

Hi David,

Thanks for your concern. I really do appreciate it. However, that article is relevant specifically to ‘Black’ names and how they might (unfortunately) interfere with landing a job.

I don’t really want to discuss the issues regarding the article or how names play a part in society – but what it really comes down to is the name of your child should be something meaningful, and the name we chose is one we love and we’ve had in our hearts for quite a while – so we’ll stick with it.

And lastly, this article was written in 2003 – which doesn’t seem THAT long ago, but a lot has changed since then. Three words: Yes We Can.

Cheers

I think you should go for a more normal name…. I think people with unusual names are treated differently. After a quick google, this is the first thing that came up: http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2003/09/29/national/main575685.shtml
