lillake I love when people use ethnic names with the true spelling. My oldest son's name is Welsh, but the spelling is Americanized. There are some cute boy names that sound really good as girl names, but I have noticed some parents using very boy-ish names.

akosi63 I think it's best to have a home educated child. The bonding between the parents and the child would be strong, the parent will impart something that a teacher cannot give. You'll be able to monitor his growth, mental, physical and emotional. But be sure to...
