xganarchy Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 Hey fellas, just wanted to drop in, say hello and CAN WE GET SOME HOCKEY PLEASE?? I've been here less since starting a new position at work, but just wanted to say we'll have a new Flyers fan entering the world 12/26, having my first child, a boy. I was contemplating the name "Giroux", but the wife has voted a strict no. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hf101 Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 Yes we need hockey soon! Congrats Xgan!, your holidays will surely be extra special. Did you suggest Claude or Clarke? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xganarchy Posted November 2, 2012 Author Share Posted November 2, 2012 No claude or clarke, another stipulation by the wife is first and middle name initials must be G. A. (to match mine, Gary Anthony)....so some suggestions were Gavin, Gannon, Gage..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hf101 Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 That's a tough one. I have a nephew named Gunnar. I guess Gabe and Garth are a couple of othersGood luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flyercanuck Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 Why is this difficult? "Goal", "Assist". Done. I have to admit I was expecting "Grateful" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fan4ever Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 @xganarchyHow's about "Guy" pronounced the French "Gee"..and then just call him "G"...Not necessarily "Giroux" but his nickname... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flyercanuck Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 Reported. That doesn't start with a "G" or an "A". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xganarchy Posted November 2, 2012 Author Share Posted November 2, 2012 lol thanks for all your well wishes and name ideas, guys! I'm extremely excited and can't wait to meet my little guy.

I was contemplating the name "Giroux", but the wife has voted a strict no.Congrats! Right about the same time our new Pens fan is expected to go five-hole (12/23). Lucky for you and the other Flyers fans we are having a boy, too. Mrs. Burgher was a fan of "Sydney" for a girl's name. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blocker Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 Gordie, as in Howe, would be nice. But, whatever the name, I can't wish you anything more than you have the joy I've had with my children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. You're in for a lot of happy years. Good for you, my friend. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xganarchy Posted November 3, 2012 Author Share Posted November 3, 2012 Congrats! Right about the same time our new Pens fan is expected to go five-hole (12/23). Lucky for you and the other Flyers fans we are having a boy, too. Mrs. Burgher was a fan of "Sydney" for a girl's name. Awesome news! Congrats to you as well! Perhaps our sons will be on a message board a few years down the line, bad mouthing the current stars of the opposing team together! haha Have you decided on a name?

B21 Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 Awesome news! Congrats to you as well! Perhaps our sons will be on a message board a few years down the line, bad mouthing the current stars of the opposing team together! haha Have you decided on a name?Thanks! To you and everyone else who offered their 'congrats'. No name yet...my wife wants to see him before she names him though we have a few (very few) names we agree on. Hope she realizes it's not a good idea to wait until the birth certificate people show up to decide. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
