I'm an uncle again

[mp-seventythree]

My sister in law gave birth to a girl weighing 7lbs 4oz on July 1. It's their third, and they're not finished yet (they want four or five altogether).
They haven't decided on a name yet, but Libby is the current favourite.

Congrats. So, what kind of uncle are you?

[mp-seventythree]

The kind that lives 2000 miles away and only sees his nephew and nieces via webcam. But I buy them cool stuff.

2000 miles? Do they live in Greenland? Czech republic?

Congrats on your new family member!

I'm an aunt to, count 'em... 10 nieces and nephews! I was an aunt at the age of 2. It was hilarious to see the looks on my nephew's friends faces when he told them his aunt was going to party with them and I showed up, being approximately the same age.

Isreal, actually it's probably more like 3000 miles

My mum spoke to my sister in law today. They've gone off the name Libby now, and they're now thinking of naming her Alma. This is bad on two levels, firstly it's a really old woman's name here. Secondly there's a really shitty old pub in my town called The Alma. When my mum told her this she said she could hear my brother in the background laughing. Surely he remembers what a crap name it is?

Anyway, not really any of my business. If they give her a pony name I'll just have to give her a cool nickname to make up for it.
