Pink or blue?

Had our 20 week scan today. I was very surprised, although Ishouldn’t be, at how far developed the baby is compared to theprevious scan. You can really see everything from fingertips totoes, arms, elbows spine an’ all. The baby is in rude health and atone point, appeared to be sticking its finger towards us…nice! Catimmediately noticed that the facial profile resembled my face,including my distinctive generous upper lip. Something thatapparently I share with my dad and my sister.For the past few weeks Cat and I had been gently rallying likelynames back and forth. But the debate has hotted up recently. She strongly veers towards Chinese names and I towards Gaelic names.I do agree that the baby should have a Chinese name, but as amiddle rather than main name. Not everyone can ready Pin Yin andpronounce it correctly.The name issue would only be relevant if the baby was to be a girlsince we have already decided on a boy’s name. A name that is laiddown in my Father’s family tree. But we were fairly convinced thebaby would be a boy so did not seriously debate the girl’s names.Well… the scanner operator told us that we would have a girl, sonow the race to find a name we both agree on begins.
