I like Caleb, Cale for short. I just named my twins Luca and Gabriel. I like Malachai, but it's a little out there maybe, and my girl shot it down. Jackson was one I considered, mostly because I think Jax/Jacks is an awesome nickname.

Apparently "wrongful birth" is a lot of money in court (and yes you do terminate the pregnancy if they have trisomy 18 - half die at birth anyhow and it's like a thousand times worse than trisomy 21).

Whoah. Sorry.

Yeah I wrote this without seeing your stuff about the tests. I'm an idiot.

I'm just trying to jimmy open my mouth further to get other foot in. Wish me luck.

After initial discussion she was looking at Japanese names too, since other Asian names sound too "ethnic" to her. By other I mean both Chinese and Korean. For some reason the Japanese ones (to me, at least) sound "futuristic" and not "foreign".

Oh, and as for the T18 it was precisely the nothing that I had thought it was, so no more worries about that for us. I hope that nobody else has a legitimate cause for concern about that ever. It's terrible to even think about.

HAHAHA. I'm much more difficult than that to offend. I even piss my wife off with some of my jokes.

For instance, there was an ultrasound video with the baby wiggling and my wife said "oh, he's dancing!"

Me: "That might not be dancing..." and I did the same motion with my eyes loosely wobbling around while grunting "uhhhhhhhh".

Sweet. Tomax and Xamot were the top of the list for twin names.

Insignificant sample size, I know, but I taught a few Chinese kids (they grew up in the UK, their parents were immigrants) and they had regular UK names: Charles, Billy, Helen, Matthew, Jason, James.

+1 to Miles. And since you have Science Fiction or Fantasy references are cool, there is a hugely popular series of Space Opera books by Lois McMaster Bujold called the the Miles Vorkosigan Adventure books (Hugo, Nebula and Locus winning books in the series, besides being merely popular). Miles is a good dude, maybe you should read a book or two and see if this works for you.

Congratulations on the tests coming back negative.
