I'm not pregnant, but I love the baby name board, and my best just found out that after 5 years of trying that they are pregnant! They had given up just after Thanksgiving, and BAM! pregnant by New years. It's terriffic. Anyway...

Do you think it would be cruel and unusual to name your child Serendipity?
I've always loved it, but been quite scared. Perhaps I am seeing a Serendipitous cat in my future..

I just think Serendipty sounds like such a witchy, feminie girls name, despite the meaning. LOL

I tease my SO if we accidentally get pregnant, we will name it Serendipity and become hippies.
WDYT?

Happy is the dog on 7th Heaven.

Er... not that I watch that show or anything. That would be embarrassing!

Furthermore, any nickname that alludes to what variety of *accident* the kid was is probably a no-no if you want to avoid paying for the kid's therapy later on. This puts out the nicknames Surprising, Startling, Full-of-remorse, Freakish, Life-altering and Irrevocable. Sad. I kind of like Irrevocable. ;)

I actually know a girl named Serendipity. She is 16. Blonde hair, blue eyes, very cute girl. She happens to love her name, and rarley gets teased. Her family is from Nashville, Tenn area.

The girl we know is Serendipity Anne. I think it is a nice name but we happen to know someone awesome with the name.

Good Luck!
