Pajiba

Aww, congrats! She's lovely and so's her name. I'm very happy for you all!

Congrats!
And good lord, that is quite a name to live up to.
Please tell me you're putting that version of her birth story into her baby book. It's way better than what most kids hear about their grand entry.

I have been waiting and refreshing to see this name! I loves it! Congrats again!

Congratulations! She looks beautiful and ready to take on the world. Everest is a good name, quirky but not too odd, and not prone to being misspelled.

Btw, how loud exactly is a beaver in heat?

Awww, Congrats on the new addition. She is beautiful.

Oh, and Mrs. Admin deserves uninterupted pampering for weeks and weeks. It takes a very strong woman indeed to go au natural (or one filled with immeasurable anger, either way treat, her well).

Congrats, Mr. & Mrs. Admin!
A precious gift, to be sure and a great name.
Ditto on the pampering advice... you'll be glad that you did.

I've told you already, but she's fantastic!

Like they've done with the mountain, I think you'd do well to clearly delineate the "death zone" to any would-be mountaineers.

Fantastic name! For realz, yo.

So many base camp jokes to be made as well... Must restrain self until at least 3rd birthday...

Hi guys, Here is not Youtube. Here is the hope and help for u. If u are still single or lonely, if u want to seek a Soulmate or close friends, and now congratulations! You meet the chance******** www.mixedmingle.com ******** will give u much happiness!! Wish u a nice time!!!

I love the name. It is beautiful, and so is she. Canadian women, eh? Kick yo ass they will. Mrs. Admin is a goddess.

Woohoo! Congratulations! She's lovely and that's a great name.

Aw, looks like even Spambot is thrilled for you!

A beautiful name for a beautiful baby warrior-girl. Many congratulations to you and your family!

I'm waiting for a troll to come around these parts so I can see Admin tear its throat out like a rabid Canadian wolverine.

Congratulations, Admin! She's gorgeous, and I love her name! Buy yourself a shotgun and start cleaning it - it's going to come in handy when the boys start showing up at your door!

Congrats all around to the Admin family. I may be biased, but this is a great day to have a birthday. And she's a million times cuter than the other people I know born this day.

Au Natural? She was probably chewing on a tire like it was beef jerky and drinking transmission fluid while watching Shark Week during the delivery. That, my friends, is a tough woman, get her anything she wants, demands or politely requests.

What a beautiful name for a beautiful little girl. With a name like that an a Mom like Mrs. Admin, she will be a force to be reckoned with.

Congratulations, man, very nice work.

Shall we begin the betrothal ceremonies now? Or do my Oliver and Kolby's Everett have to fight to the death first to take Everest's hand?

If Oliver wins I expect the dowry within the fortnight.

Thanks all. I was reading the site during the labour and you crazy fuckers helped keep Mrs. in good spirits.

Snath I expect an epic battle a la Kirk vs. Spock. Let the winner claim the spoils. However, I look forward to receiving your dowery immediately upon victory, should it occur. ONE AMERICAN DOLLAR! I shall buy this country and had it to her highness upon a nickle platter.

FUCK YEAH!!!!

Everest? The poor child.

But congratulations to your cute kid.

Everest? Admin, I'm going to get awfully brutal from here on. You don't have to read ahead, and can lash back all you want in the spirit of fairness.

That's not even a name. If you want to call your kid Everest, that's fine, but that shit's what nicknames are for. There's nothing wrong with giving your kid a normal name, and then an outlandish nickname. That way, your kid can have as many ridiculous names as you want. My nicknames include Goda (Grandpa had Alzhei-mer's, and mixed up my name with the name of a Japanese guy he met.) and Geordy (I'm the fifth or sixth George in the family, Grandpa was still alive, we need- ed some way to differentiate.) But I'm not named those things, because despite not always seeing eye to eye, my parents knew not to give me a name that doesn't make any god damn sense, and have it wind up on my birth certificate.

Admin, I know I'm being rather heartless insulting your name choice, but what the hell ever happened to nicknames? There not just for playground kids to use to mock you endlessly. They serve a purpose, damnit.

Cute kid, though.

Awesome, awesome, awesome. Congrats, admin and Lady Admin and welcome to the twisted world of Pajiba, little Everest. Beautiful baby, beautiful name.

A case of Molson is on the way...

Don't be silly, George. He can call her Very, because she is *so very*.

(There's also Evie (long e) or Evy (short e).)

good job! what an honour.

if she ever needs some advice on how to live with and benefit from a strange first name, then give me a call.

i'd opt for "ever" or "ev" or "evy" (soft e), as a nickname. "eve" is too biblical (for my taste, anyway).

by the way, i'm late to the game because my browsers have had a lot of trouble opening pajiba lately.... is it the ads? not sure.

AvB, Evey (short e) is my daughter's nickname, too.

I know, Snath! See, she'd be in great company!

I'm sure that by the time she hits middle school age our species will have evolved to the point where tween boys will no longer feel the need to tell her they would like to "climb Everest's mountains" every 15 seconds, right?

Right?

Kids rarely call ech other by their first names. My eldest has an odd, two syllable name and they've shortened it to one. Ev (short e) will be just fine.

Plus, the way our education system is going, kids won't have a fucking clue that Mount Everest even exists.

And becuase it's Tuesday:

George is trolling page
her highness with fiendish glee
first on the altar

HA! I started a reply to buc before like "It's cute that you think the kids will know what Mount Everest is!" but then my stupid job expected me to stupid work or something. Stupid jobs. I mean please.

Admin,

You raise a good point. Canuck education system is as bad as ours?

She's just adorable, and I'm loving the name more every time I hear it.

OhmyGOD we totally need for Baby Snath and Baby Admin to get together and get married and they will be the most fiercesome pair to ever rule the galaxy--under the watchful eye of Godtopus, aka Kolbaby. SO AWESOME.

Congratulations! Now hand Mrs Admin that icepack for between her legs.

Everest, eh? I can sort of see that working. (Hampered slightly, though, by the fact that here in the UK, Everest is a well-known double-glazing company...)

Not like you care, but the name... not diggin' it.

I do wish parents would save their "creative" impulses for pets' names or their own screen names on websites like this.

Also, not sure why people give their kids names, then announce they don't intend to use them. "Oh, we can call him/her ________." Then why didn't you just do that in the first place?

A thousand congratulations. Newborns always make me tear up.

And Everest is a gorgeous name. It's going to be a really cool moment when one of her friends goes, "Evie stands for Evelyn, right?" and your daughter says, self-deprecatingly but with obvious pride, "Actually, it's Everest."

She's lovely, admin.
Slash, this may not be a great spot to post your irritation with names.
People get worked up over even the easiest regular names though, say if you have two letter "A"s in Rachael. So either way someone will criticize.
