    My wife delivered a beautiful daughter last Tuesday. This is our first child. Although you have a tough time waiting restlessly outside the labor ward, it's worth it and feels wonderful to be a dad. :-)

      congratz. I have three myself.

      Let's face it, after Monday and Tuesday, even the calendar says WTF! Be careful which toes you step on today, they might be connected to the foot that kicks your butt tomorrow. You can't scare me, I have children.

              I meant they do not allow it in Tamil Nadu where I come from. Haven't heard of anyone doing so here. :-)

                      Thanks Nish. Safiyyah means "pure" in Arabic. I'm still searching for a second name that goes with it. :-)

                                  I know. But then she'd at least get his first name or family name I'd think.

                                    In our family, we have the family name coming first and then a two part name. For example, my family name is 'Zakir' and my two part name is 'Shameel Ahmed'. She'll get the 'Zakir' title too, but she needs the second part of the two-part name. :-)

                                      Yeah that is a normal process but these days lot of people are opting to keep a complete different first and last name.
