GE might sue me for copyright infringement since he did a similar contest when his son was born, but I'm holding a contest related to the birth of our second child. My wife is due on July 31, so it could be any day!
There will be two contests, each with $1,000 in forum bucks as the prize.
Contest #1: Guess the weight of the baby. Whoever is closest (or exactly right) wins. HINT: My wife is 5' 11" and I am 6' 5". Our daughter Jade is pretty big for her age. Our family tends to make 'em big!
Contest #2: Guess the baby's name (Superflytnt is not eligible for contest #2 since I've already told him the names). You get to guess one boy's and one girl's name (FIRST NAME ONLY). We do not know the baby's gender. Whoever comes closest IMO wins.(anyone who gets it exactly right will be investigated to see if Superflytnt interfered!). HINT: Don't bother guessing common names like Mike, John, Heather or Jennifer. Our names won't show up on any top 10 most popular list.
Once someone guesses a name or weight, no one else can guess it.
Good luck to all (especially to my wife during the delivery)!

Does the Price Is Right (closest without going over) rule apply? If it does, I would like to say 1 pound. Names.... Oh I have no idea... How about Marry Jane, or Anakin.

Ben Kenobi- Once someone guesses a name (I guessed Claire) it can't be guessed again (You guessed Claire lol) so I'd pick a different one so you are eligible.
