What do people think of the name Gene for a Boy?

Ive never thought of it for a boy i was put of using it for a girl as we have a jean at work and she is a complete fruit loop ( but lovely non the less) i just wouldnt want an insane baby.

I think if your surname is quite masculine it could work really well :-)

Gene.. wouldn't work for us *giggles at the thought*

I have an auntie Jean.. fruitloop definitely to be avoided!

I agree that Gene makes me think of an old lady - or Gene Kelly

Baby has been quite quiet today although he's rolling around softly. I can feel him and see my tummy moving, just no vicious kicks!

I'm at the midwife tomorrow (38 + 3) so will hopefully find out if he's started to engage yet. I hope he has but I'd prefer it if he waited until the weekend as it's my birthday on Thursday and I'm not prepared to share!!!

Re names, spent an hour talking to my colleague about this today about how difficult it is. I want something not common (as in there will be 5 in a class with the same name) but a name that isn't unique so they stand out. My work colleague had one of his forenames as Merlin as was known by that until 20ish and said he had probs being so unique, he is now known as Dave. By the way my mum is called Jean so no for me on Gene!

Love the bump Bexta, think like you at 18/19 weeks only just showing which has its disadvantages when you ask for a seat on the train and people wonder why. Want a big bump in their face!!

Welcome sharon and congrats freebie on team blue sorry you had a rubbish time with the sonographer

Hi there

I am now 17 weeks 2 days pregnant, heard the baby's heartbeat again last week.

However today have noticed some brown discharge, not much but enough for me to worry, am waiting for midwife to call me back.

Anyone else had this?

Thanks

Clare

Hi Clare as its brown and not red fresh blood i doubt its anything to fret over but its always best to get it checked out i'm sure the midwife will reassure you. Brown discharge is normally just your body clearing out old waste :-) x

Thanks for that, I'm trying not to stress.
