my partner really wants to use Mark bc it’s his dads name (i hate Mark im truly sorry😭)

so we’ve settled to something like Mark in the middle but i can only think of Marcus of Marcel for a boy. i could live with Marcus if we had to. We can also us a form of Jeff/Jeffrey. does anybody have ANYTHING else at all!? i feel like ive searched everywhere.

I like Jefferson as an alternative to Jeffrey! I’ve know a handful as a teacher and they’ve all been so smart and sweet and just great kids.

Marco? Marcellus? Marcelo?

Mac for mark or Geo for Geoffrey

Marcello
Ark
Marceau
Mars
Marley
Jett

You could do something like Maverick maybe? It still have the same letters in it? Or Marc, Marco, Micha, Marcos, Markus, Marko, Marcius, Mauricio, Marcello, Mac, Mika, Malrik, Marek? I think that’s all I can come up with lol

Mark is derived from the Latin name Mars - so Mars could be an. option, if you wanted something a little more unusual.

Martin, Marius, Marciano and Mario are names also associated with the Roman God Mars - if you are open to using names that are connected to Mark?

variations of Mark in different countries:

Markel
Marcello
Marko/Marco
Markus/Marcus
Demarcus/Demarco
Marcius
Marcel
Marcio
Marky
Marek

or a name that sounds similar to Mark as a more subtle tdibute:

Markenzie
Marlow
Marley
Archie
Mack/Mac

variations of/names similar to Jeffrey:

Rey
Jerry
Effrey
Jeffro - maybe Jethro?
Jefferson
Jefford
Jeffries
Joffrey
Jeffers
Jeffie/Jeffy
Effy

or consider Geoffrey as a alternate spelling of Jeffery - you could go with Geo or Frey?

A little more abstract, but what about Marley or Mars?

Baby playing position

My little munchkin recently started playing like this with his head back especially during changing. This morning he even did it in his swing. I am a first time mom so I am wondering if any one has experienced this before

Newborn

🥲miss being pregnant already 😭.

Lost 3 weeks on an early dating scan?

So I had spotting last week and I went for a scan to make sure everything was fine it was a transvaginal ultra sound but the said i was measuring at 6 weeks not the 9 that I should be if I go by my last period. Anyone else has this? Baby is fine and im greatful but so disappointed that im not as far on as I thought.

Maybe im being silly but knowing now I have 5 more weeks to wait before I can tell anyone or start sorting things out just disappointed me slightly.
Also I havent dared to have sex since the bleed, am I being over paranoid or just normally cautious? Would love to hear anyone else's experiences on either one.

Thanks

Baby position

Im 29, almost 30, weeks pregnant and i think baby is still in transverse position. I know its fine and she still has plenty of time to flip, i just thought most babies flip by now. Who else had a baby that wanted to wait last minute to flip head down?

Sensitive bum🤷‍♀️

Hi
I'm 5weeks post c section, I stayed in hospital a couple of days after. I noticed my left buttock and lower back was still numb and didn't feel right so the anaesthetist saw me and reassured me things will get better with time and as my mobility improved.
5 weeks have passed now and it's not as numb (though still doesn't feel right) I get an ache in that area when sitting for longer than 10 min and my buttock just feels sensitive compared to the other one? That's the only way I can describe it.
Has anyone else experienced this and did it get any better for you?

Postpartum Bleeding

I'm 7 weeks postpartum on Sunday but I've just gone to have a shower and noticed I've been bleeding again, some fresh red blood here and there but nothing alarming I don't think. I don't think it's my period but just wondered if this is normal? I had a normal assisted vaginal delivery, bleeding was already slowing down, more like brown spotting but now its bleeding again. When I wipe there's traces of blood too.
