duckWit56166yName him Stack. Or Hal. Or Pascal. Or Sudo. Hmm... This IS hard.
Anyway, congratulations! -
sleepException, diaperOverflow, ajax (Asynchronous Joy And eXhaustion)
since he's your [1] child you know what i mean
congratulations and good luck! 🙂 -
lxmcf199506yCongratulations! Always exciting to hear of Dev babies :-D
Also for names can I suggest child_final2? -
-
came up with a solution for the naming problem:
child.getname();
lol.But seriously congrats! -
Root797766y@digitaldina Thanks! ^_^
Also: that method just returns "Baby Boy" 🙁
I might write something to string semi-random letters together and hope for something decent. (I named one of my birds (Selk) using Boggle!) -

We finally settled on Adrian Ridley 😊
Only took the better part of a week. -
Root797766yI wrote almost a dozen utilities to fetch names from various languages and times, clean them, display them in nicely formatted columns, select names based on criteria, permute them, and keep track of favorites.
I swear I've seen almost every name in the world from Arabic to Irish to Maori to Celtic to Yiddish. -
Root797766y@nkhan There are a lot of name lists and generators out there. Write something to scrape them!
I was rushed, so what I wrote is absolutely not something I'd want to show off. One of the sites I used didn't offer an api, so I had to scrape the page with regexes. 😅
I swear I cost them at least $10 in increased server load. I must have hit that site, without exaggeration, 25k times. (One run alone was 4k page loads)
I might contact them and offer like 0.05 ETH for hitting their service so much. -
Condor323326yCongrats! And glad you were able to find a name for him in the end. It sounds great!
