Help us name our upcoming baby BOY!
Jan 22 - FINAL Update
GRAND PRIZE WINNERS
Congratulations MarkM and BabyNaymes for choosing “Alexander Ignatius Michalik”. Though we realize a few people submitted “Alexander”, Mark called it first - good choice everyone! Norma picked Ignatius - maybe half jokingly, but hey, we liked it. Sorry Norma, you don’t win the Remote Controlled Sumo Wrestlers for that one - the Grand prize will have to do. Thanks everyone for making this a fun and challenging experience. We’re going to archive a copy of the site for Lex’s baby book. This way he’ll know which aunts and uncles to smile at or poop near depending upon your submissions.
He’s a Big One: 10 lbs 7.2 oz, 21.5 inches tall
Jan 21 - “Clever (but-not-quite-clever-enough)” Prize Awarded
Kevin Lane and Coburn came the closest to finding their name suggestions on the Michalik Family Tree. “Maximus Flash Michalik” was our working name for all of December and we were all set to name him that, that is until we saw him. He just didn’t seem like a “Max” and though Barb loved the name “Flash” we found a middle name that we thought more of a fit with his new first name. So a set of steak knives from Ginsu International go to Kevin and Coburn. We will be calling you for your mailing address in the next couple of days!Stay tuned! We expect to announce the Official, on-the-actual-birth-certificate name tomorrow evening (after we’ve signed the official birth certificate)!
Jan 20 - “Wish We Could, but We Just Can’t Do It” Prize Awarded
CabinLiving submitted “Dr. Doom” on December 17th, and Barbara really, really wanted that to be his middle name. Exactly why? You’ll need to ask her for the full answer. Although we both thought our son would consider that a way cool name, Andrew had to veto it. So the Radio-Controlled Sumo Wrestlers were delivered to CabinLiving this evening, complete with batteries!
