I just discovered this thread. Congratulations, Clod! Sounds like things are going well with the pregnancy. I am happy to hear that!
On the subject of weird names....My husband is Dakota who has 2 brothers, Darqel (notice the lack of a "U"), and Quinton and a sister Wesinda. Yes, when we were dating, I told a few of my friends about him, forgetting to mention he was a "he" and then a lot of shock when they realized Dakota was not how they had pictured "her". Somehow he makes a much more handsome male than he would a female. I have also heard people tell me about a million times that they had a friend/relative with a dog named Dakota. He has heard the old question too many times to count: "North or South?" Just like the jokes about "Justin Case" make me want to barf. (Yes, I do have a brother named Justin. No, I don't think my parents have a great sense of humor, nor did they ever. It was purely coincidental and was a result of lack of forethought on their part. Dammit.)
