Thank you, I appreciate your suggestion

google.

As most would, I consulted Google long before asking here...thanks, though.

Hi! I am looking for a baby name that begins with Ife. The names my folks have offered so far include Ifelewa, Ifetayo, Ifedayo, Ifewunmi, and Ifedeji. Are there any other names that begin with or include Ife that anyone can suggest for me? Unisex suggestions are great as well since the baby's gender is a surprise. Suggestions sincerely appreciated!

what a beautiful,truthful lie

science, my friend woman always gives an X chromosome....man gives either X or Y...i hope you know male = XY and female = XX...just sayin', home skillet

wow ok thank you! yes, maybe i need to just go ahead and be more secretive. i like the idea of adding time to the date. i was curious especially since a Naija pal of mine asked me three different times. Each time I just gave the nearest holiday and still each time I was asked again. Thank you all very much, I am very superstitious myself, this is helpful information and I appreciate it.

Thanks for your replies. These are similar to the reasons I have heard from relatives - if people know you are pregnant or when you are due that they may wish ill on you or your child, do juju or something like that....? :-/ Yes we know the person it is I.

Hi! In the states (I was born here...my parents were born in Lagos...we are Yoruba), most people will share the due date once they have passed the first trimester because the risk of miscarriage is then reduced. However, I often hear it is traditional to keep the due date close and not share with people.

What is the reasoning behind keeping the pregnancy due date secret? Also, if you are to be vague about the due date when people ask, how do you answer them without be rude or lying outright?

if any guy believes his wife is the reason for his lack of a son, i feel sorry for that man. male sex is determined by sperm, contributed by the man, not the woman.
