I'm proud to announce the arrival of my new baby daughter. She came last night (5 weeks early) and both mommy and baby are doing great. It's been a long day or so, but everybody's happy and healthy and I can't ask for more than that. One drawback of arriving early: we have no idea what to name her.

Congrats, Ebby.

Congrats Ebby (and to Mrs. Calvin as well)!

And not to worry about names, I'm sure the folks here at SnS will be happy to offer suggestions. How about the feminine of Hunter (Huntress?)?

Ebby Calvin · « **Reply #13 on:** May 29, 2011, 11:57:29 am »

Thanks everybody!

We went with Eleanor Ann. I'll probably call her Nora.

moriartp · « **Reply #14 on:** May 29, 2011, 12:00:39 pm »

Congrats! Eleanor is one of my favorite names. Don't really know why, I just think it's gorgeous.

That's awesome, congrats!

You are just churning them out! Congratulations and Eleanor Ann is a beautiful name.

Eleanor Ann is a beautiful name, and very classic.

Like that very much. Good job y'all!

[Much, much better than Huntress, which is reasons 1,574,428 that you don't leave important decisions like that up to the TZ...].

Nice work. You're going to think I'm full of shit but I tried to post this morning but was in a place where I really couldn't maintain a signal. My gratuitous advice in terms of a name was going to be to lean towards the Beatles and away from Chuck Berry. That's pretty decent advice in other facets of life as well now that I think about it.

GreatBagwellsBeard · « **Reply #24 on:** May 29, 2011, 09:36:08 pm »

Congrats! So glad that everyone's healthy and happy.

Congratulations. Just beautiful. We need more girls.

For all those guys who made the ultimate sacrifice, here is one tangible benefit, right here.

Congrats Ebby, nice job?

Uh, I did mean for that second line to have an exclamation point, not a question mark. !

Timeless name - congrats

I'm Ron Burgundy?

Thanks for all of the kind thoughts everybody. Looks like our stay here is going to be a bit longer than we hoped, but I trust the good folks at Texas Children's implicitly and am confident all will end up great.

And enough about me - go Astros!

NeilT · « **Reply #33 on:** May 30, 2011, 09:16:18 pm »

Congratulations.

Congratulations to you and the Mrs., Eb. I've never known an ugly Eleanor, only real cuties in personality and looks.

EasTexAstro · « **Reply #35 on:** May 31, 2011, 08:04:52 am »

I'm late to the party. Congrats!

Houston · « **Reply #36 on:** May 31, 2011, 10:13:10 am »

With a screen name like Ebby Calvin, I'd have thought you'd automatically name her Annie Savoy.

Seems like Ebby Calvin should call her Annie.

ETA: Houston beat me to it.

Congrats on the new addition! May is a perfect time to be born!

JackAstro · « **Reply #41 on:** June 03, 2011, 12:57:42 pm »

Congrats, Ebby! I have a niece named Eleanor (goes by Ellie), and can confirm from first-hand observation that every girl with this name* winds up being adorable and awesome.

I'm even later to the shindig. Many happy congratulations to the Ebbys. Hope lil' gal is doing well, what with arriving so early. Her name is so classic, love it.
