Robby gave me a very sweet Christmas Present this year. A charm bracelet with a bootie charm. The bootie has the babe’s initials etched on the bottom.
When we began talking about names we decided that we were going to keep the name to ourselves until after the baby is born. There are a few reasons for this.
First, while we are pretty sure that the name we have chosen will be the name of the baby we want to wait until we actually meet her to be extra special sure the name suits her. (Incidentally, when Rob gave me the bracelet I questioned how we could change the name if we needed to. He said we could just get another charm made with different initials! He’s a smart one, that Rob.)
Second, knowing the sex of the baby takes a tiny bit of the excitement out of announcing the birth. So, keeping the name a secret gives a bit of suspense to the whole thing. This applies mostly to us, we get a kick out of having a secret. Secrets are fun.
All of the guesses that have come our way recently sparked an idea.
We are going to hold a contest on this here blog!
This is how it works:
1 - You can enter by leaving a comment on this post (or any other post) with your idea of what the first and middle name may be.
2 - You can enter as many times as you like until the birth of the baby. This could be anytime between now and the first week of March! YOU MUST LEAVE A COMMENT TO ENTER.
3 - We will NOT tell you or anyone else if you have the right answer.
4 - After the Lil’ Bookish is born we will announce the winner (or winners). There will be a prize for the person that gets the FULL name right (first and middle) and a prize for the Most Creative Entry.
5 - The prizes are TBD…they will likely be yarny in nature.
Ready for your hint? Here are the initials…
S.C.R. (the R stands for the last name, please don’t try to guess that…we have to have some level of privacy


Entries (RSS)
Shelby Claire is what pops into my head. Must come up with more combinations!
Wish I knew your last name for a more educated guess… but here it goes anyway!
Wait… before I enter my guesses, I need a clarification - must they be first/middle name combos, or two separate lists, one for first, and one for middle?
Super Crazy Rockstar
Someone’s Cookie Recipe
Silly Cracker Rollers
Shushy Cruddy Research
None of those? Really?
Seriously, Sarah Claire or Suzanne Catherine. (Because they are all names of people I know and admire.)
Samantha Caterina
I’m going to say Sarah Christine. That’s what popped into my head.
Sara(h) Catherine
Sara(h) Claire
Sophia Celeste
Sophie Caitlin
Sabrina Camelia
Sadie Carolyn
Sasha Cathleen
Sela Cecilia
Shannon Cecily
Please don’t call your baby any of the following:
Santa Claus
Shasta Coke
Stockinette Cable
Late For Dinner
Savannah Catherine?
well my first guess is sarah christina but i’ll be back
scary clown!
Sarah popped into my head also when I saw the initials. So I’ll say:
Sarah Catherine.
Or maybe Samatha Christine.
Shoshanna Charlotte?
Susan Caroline?
Super Cool?
Sweet Child?
Soup Crackers?
Wishing you and your family all the best!
One more….
(looking over at my little glass of vino)
Sauvignon, Cabernet perhaps?
Sweet Cheeks?
Heh. When my parents told my dad’s mother that they were pregnant with me, they also told her that my name would be “Azalea Begonia.” My poor, sweet grandmother just sat there, frozen and said “Oh. That’s. Nice.” while trying to smile. They evetually told her they were kidding.
S.C.?
Sugar Cookie
Sand Castle
Store Customer
Super Crab
Sarah Catherine
Shannon Catherine
Susanna Claire
I have no idea why, but Savanah Christine is the first thing that popped into my mind, so that’s my first guess.
Oh, I know. You’re not foolin’ anyone. The kid’s name is going to be Super Child. As in, a child spawned from superheroes.
I don’t have a guess, but I was a bit startled to discover that your child’s initials are the same as my father’s.
Although, if you are going for most creative, then I’ll go with Shawna Calypso.
Yipes, it looks like your php is goofed up!
OK maybe that was just me. Anyway. My first thought was Susanna Caroline. I’ll be back with more later!
Sarah Catherine. Or Suri Cruise?!?
South Carolina
Seriously, that was the first thing I thought of.
The second one was:
Silvia Claudia.
I’m delurking. I have to confess, I’ve been reading your blog lately, just too shy to comment.
My guess was Sarah Catherine but that was someone else’s guess. In Nova Scotia, they don’t tell you the sex of the fetus (Boo!).
My other guesses are:
Sophia/Sophie Catherine
Sasha Carolyn
Sabrina Caroline
????
Anyhoo, love the blog…(my husband has the same name as your’s, but with an “ie”)
Sirdar Collinette?
Skacel Cascade?
For a real guess, I’m going with Sofia Claire.
My first thought was Sarah Catherine.
I’ll also go with Stephanie Claire though.
You are SO smart not to tell. We told with baby #1 and got all sorts of flack… (Changed the preferred name to a middle, and something slightly more conventional for the “first”…) I’m pleased to say that DD is happy with both names and uses them!!
Sabrina Christine?
Susan Chloe?
Sacha (Baron) Cohen?
A million congrats and good wishes, whatever the name!
I have to comment because these are my Mom’s initials, exactly! Only the C. is her maiden name. They are wonderful initials and she signs her name S.C.R. I’m going to guess her first name then:
Susan Caroline
Susan Charlotte
Susan Carol
Susan Cara
I’ll also try two of my best friends first names:
Sara Charlotte
and Sophia Claire
Congratulations whatever the name may be!
Heather
Here are some that I’m pretty sure are NOT it….
so cool
step child
street car
suzi cue
sweet corn
???
Am I close? There are lots of them in the comments I like though…I’m sure whatever you choose will be perfect:-)
my first guess was sarah catherine, but i see that’s taken. sophia carolyn?
Samantha Christine is what first popped into my brain, but someone already guess that.
Serena Clementine?
Stacey Catherine?
Suzy Cue?
Scarlett Claire is what came to mind.
but for good measure…
Scarlett Catheriine
Scarlett Camille
I hope she’s happy and healthy.
Okay, as long as it’s NOT Suri Cruise, I’ll be happy
We kept our son’s name secret until he was actually on the outside… We learned after our daughter, the first kid, people voice FAR too many opinions on names, even the ones you have already chosen and therefore probably love…
Sally Caroline?
Sadie Celeste?
Sasha Chloe?
Scarlett Camille?
Samantha- the best possible of all S names- Claire?
Salacious Carnivore?
Super Califragilistic?
What????? You’re not going to call her Mini Bookish??? Oh well…
I’m going to go with
Sophie Camilla
or
Sarah Christina
Cheers Eva
I have no idea, but I just wanted to say CONGRATULATIONS!!! I know. I’m a bit behind.
simone claire
scarlett
samantha catherine
sarah cynthia
sklyar
sylvia
Serena Chiarina
or
Sarah Charlotte
or
Samantha Caroline
~x~
Ooooo-For the real name, Sarah Christine and for the silly one, being you’re the Bookish one and all, She Can Read! I know, silly. I just get giddy when there’s babies involved:)
Susanna Caroline
Serena Carlotta
Sophie Cameron.
For myself, and for all Stephanies in the world I guess…..
Stephanie Claire
Hey this is fun just reading the entries!!
Suzette Crepe?
Sydney Claire
Sydney Christine
Okay, here are my ideas -
Sophie Clara
Sandra Catrina
Samantha Carol
Sara Charlotte
Sonia Catherine
Simone Claire
Selma Caroline
I’m guessing sarah claire, because it just popped into my head- a very pretty name.
Serena Caroline? I’ll have to go through the bunny records to dig up some good names.
Sarah Christine
Siobhan Claire
Susan Chloe
Please don’t call her:
Simply Cabled
So Calm
Suri Cruise
Silly Crazy
Stylish Creativity
In my head SCR stands for Senior Common Room, but I doubt you’re calling her that. How about Sophia Clarissa?
I thought of Serena Christine right away and see others have thought along the same line.
Sara Cara?
Sandra Carina
Sallee (or Sally) Caren
Rob’s gift is so thoughtful and lovely regardless of our silliness;-)
Gee. I have already seen lots of Sarah Catherines, but that’s what I thought of first.
I also *heart* Sugar Cookie! =)
Siobhan Colleen
You guys are too cute. And what a great gift!
I’m going with Sarah Cayli. So many Sarah guesses already, but I swear it popped in my head right away.
I’ll also have to guess Shawanda Collins and Single Crochet.
OK, can I tell you how floored I am that someone came up with Savannah Catherine before me? That seems terribly unfair. Also a little spooky b/c it was the front runner for us before we found out that ‘Savannah Catherine’ actually going to be a ‘Starsky Cole’.
How about Sabrina Cate instead?
Well, many people have guessed this, but none have spelled it *correctly*. It’s obviously the best choice, because it’s my name…. Sara Christine. Here’s hoping for a bookish namesake…….
How about Scarlet Catherine?
or Scarlet Cassidy?
Dang. I coulda made a good guess for the R.
Sela Caitlyn?
Stella Cate
(do we get points if we get the right names but not in the right combination?)
Sari Carolyn?
I was so surprised to see my own daughter’s initials, I have to post her name as my “guess”. Sarah Christine
My guess is Scout Catherine but I think you are having this contest so we will come up with alternative names so you can keep the bootie charm if the wee babe isn’t the name you picked originally;)
Sarah Cate! Or Sylvia Catherine. Boy, I hope it’s not that because it doesn’t really flow too well, if ya know what I mean.
What about So Close to correct?
South Carolina?
No?
Okay, Stephanie (harlot) Cara (january)
Thinking about baby names is always fun! My guesses are:
Shiloh Cheyenne (person favorite)
Samantha Cathleen
Sarah Caitlin
Savanna Charlotte
Scarlett Cecilia
Shannon Christine
Silvia Cadence
Sophie Catherine
That bootie charm is too cute for words.
Sassafrass Cornflower.
…clearly.
Though I would not object to Smartha Cmarin.
Sonia Constance.
Sarah Rachel
Ooops. Sarah Catherine.
Coming out of lurkdom to post because those are my daughter’s initials:
Sandra Claire
(we call her Claire, though)
First I would just like to wish you a wonderful birth and a great time with your new little one!!
Sonia Cora
Sabrina Catalin
Sadie Cassie
Sabine Cecelia
Savannah Celeste
Serena Chloe
Sophie Clarissa
For Fun..
Stockard Cable
All the Best!!!!
Stella Catherine
Ok… I saw the initials and thought
Sarah Christine
then I thought maybe …
Sydney Caren
my daughters name is Samantha Aiden, so
Samantha Cailin
Sophie Caitlin
Sabine Cadie
hey that’s kind of different. Maybe you’ll just pick one of ours to replace yours? My second daughter was supposed to be Maddi (Either Madeline or Madison) and we went around the table at Thanksgiving with each letter of the alphabet everyone had to come up with a different name. When Kaitlin popped up, we knew that was it.
Congratulations, good luck and HAVE FUN!
Thought of another one- Siobhan Constance?
Little baby S.C.R. must be squirming with joy, knowing all these nice folks are thinking happy thoughts of her!
Oh and another- Sierra Corynn?
Oh, I’m so glad that you decided to go with Crinella- really, I’m flattered. Does this mean I’ll be the godmother as well?
My first pick was Sydney (I was surprised how far down I had to go to see that) and maybe Charlotte. Mik guessed Sarah Christine, like 75% of everyone else.
Superbowl Cleveland?
Syphillis Chlyamidia? (My mom seriously had a kid in her class with that first name)
Savory Chuck?
Silly Crazyparents?
Shamalamadingdong Changchangchangitychangshoowop?
Surprise Child?
Sarailee Christine
Scarlett Christine
??
??
Sophia Charlotte is my first guess of the many to come…(I find that I’m as excited to learn the name as I am to learn the sex of the baby after it’s born.) I love that you are leaving room for change if you don’t think it fits - I think that there are certain babes who “choose” their name after they’re on this side of the womb.
I hope you’re doing well and everything is going okay!
Delurking and I have to tell you that your “nobody puts Baby in the corner” just slays me.
I have a baby Sophie so I’ll guess
Sophie Cate
or Sophie Camille
Best wishes!
Sosie (pronounced like “josie)” Clementine.
I’m here in the south, after all.
Sweet Cheeks is what her boyfriend will call her someday…
Socrates Charles. I’m right, aren’t I?
Sally Carlotta… this just popped in my head at 3 am LOL.
Cheers Eva

Silkmerino Cables
Snow Christmas
Santa Claus?
Samantha Christine?
Sally Carmen?
Sidney Charolette?
Shelley Caroline?
Selene. Selena. Selina. Sophir (so-fear). Sonya.
Selina for me too, I thought i was the first one with this lovely name that is apparently impossible to pair with a C middle one!
Selina Clelia, maybe….
Also-
Sweep Chimchiminee
Soprano, Carmela
Spermatozoa Creation (although that’s not really fair to you, your uterus or your eggs- but hey, if Robby talked you into it, who am I to argue?)
Sarah Connor (since I have you pegged as big Ah-nuld fans)
I do very much love the name Simone, but for some reason feel like it’s not the one you chose.
Sasha Cohen? That would be kind of freaky, so I’m guessing NO.
My serious guess is Sadie Claire. Because I love Sadie. Please consider Sadie. (Kidding! Do not consider names suggested by others.)
Hope you’re well, bootie girl. xox Kay

Weirdly enough, I’ve been pondering this ever since you posted it!
I immediately thought of Stella for the first name, but am having trouble with the perfect middle name. Claire is showing up a lot here — I think I’m going to go with Stella Claire. (Although I love the suggestions of Sugar Cookie and Sweet Cheeks!)
Sadie Catherine
Sabine Cecile
Super Cute
Soma Cutie?! I love the name Soma, its actually one of our kitties. Sadie was the first thing that came to mind, followed by Cecile. But, who knows! I’ll leave the guessing to the previous 97 posts
Did you ever get that book in the mail?! Just wanted to check since I didn’t know your last name either!
Hope all is well
Dani
I’m not a good guesser - but there’s a girl in my office named Sabelle. Isn’t that so cute! Also, I’m too impatient to read all of these guesses - so someone might have suggested it already. Regardless, if you change your mind, I think Sabelle is so cute.
Oh yeah - and if you do change your mind and go with Sabelle, you won’t need a new shoe. I also like Sadie - but wasn’t there a girl at Miami named Sadie? I think Adam was friends with her. Was she in Lux with you? I don’t know her - but I like that name - and it’s better that I don’t know her because I don’t have the name association now. Maybe I’ll add it to my list. Oh wait, maybe I need to be moving in that direction before I make a list. Ok, once I find a boyfriend and it looks like I’ll actually get married, I’ll add Sadie to my list.
And yes, I do realize this is the retarded kind of thing that I should just email you instead of posting for everyone to see how beavish I am - but I’m overtired and have had too much coffee and don’t feel like opening a browser to email.
I’ve been thinking about this for awhile, and this is my guess:
Sophia/Sophie Cassidy
This was fun.
OOo– Sapphire Claire- Pretty, old fashioned but still classy enough so she won’t be made fun of!
Sofia Camille was the first thing that came to mind.
Smarty Chica
Yeah, that’s my guess.
Best wishes!
Sophia Catherine
Stephanie Catelyn
Snappy Crikey
Sarina Christine
Santa Claus
sadie claire. definitely.
Sarah Claire
Sophia Catherine
or just Straight Cable?
I had to come back and check after I saw pictures of your beautiful baby!! I can’t believe nobody guessed it! It’s a pretty name for a pretty baby! Congratulations on falling in love again, this time in a way that will truly knock your socks off!
Sosie Calandra
Susannah Claire
Sawyer Catherine
