Congrats Radar. The vowell <> vowell rule is a general rule. I'd avoid names ending in A (as in Say) or Uh since moving from that sound to pronounce Ireland is sort of difficult. Names that end in EE are ok since that's an easy one.
My pick is Stephanie. Like Ireland, it has 3 syllables, its kind of regal (to me, anyway). Coming in 2nd is Lee Ann - or, as a nod to your wife's heritage, Li An. What a joy for you two. I'm happy for you guys.

Hey, congrats Radar! The only name advice I can give you is once you've decided, keep it a secret until the baby's born. You will be surprised how many people will just tell you, "Ew, I HATE that name! How awful!" when you tell them the name you've picked, but once the kid's actually named no one ever says anything rude.
When is she due? Don't forget to post photos when it's time... [Edit: Duh, June 1st. I can read, I swear.] |

The 9 months thing is a bit misleading. it's more like 10 really, when you take into account that they start counting from the date of your last period. It's 40 weeks, average.

My friend named her new baby girl Reece. I like that.

I really like the name Madison too, but my wife won't go for it.

Congratulations!
My little monkey is 3.5 months old. My wife and I are going on a real date to the movies tonight!
