cool sam for being a father wash out now the 77 will be better becuse jeff was better after he had as babby girl

all of you who have nothing but negative things to say—–SHUTTY

I REALLY DONT UNDERSTAND THE COMMENTS SOME OF YOU ARE MAKING TOWARDS SAM JR AND HIS WIFE… NAMING THE CHILD AFTER HIS FATHER AND GRANDFATHER ISNT SEXIST – IT IS JUST BEING PROUD OF YOUR FAMILY, AND THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THAT. IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU JUST WANT TO FIND SOMETHING TO COMPLAIN ABOUT. WHY DO YOU ALL CARE SO MUCH WHAT THEY NAME THEIR CHILD, ANYWAY??!! I DONT UNDERSTAND THE CONTROVERSY SURROUNDING ALL OF THIS. YOU ALL HAVE TAKEN A SIMPLE INTERVIEW ABOUT ONE OF THE HAPPIEST TIMES IN SOMEONE’S LIFE AND TWISTED AND TURNED IT INTO THIS HUGE ORDEAL! DONT WORRY ABOUT WHAT SAM HORNISH JR AND HIS WIFE MAY OR MAY NOT NAME THEIR BABY AND WHETHER OR NOT HE WANTS A BOY. TAKE IT FOR WHAT IT IS. DID IT OCCUR TO ANYONE THAT MAYBE HE WAS JOKING ABOUT HAVING FIVE CHILDREN TO GET A BOY? I AM QUITE CERTAIN IT DIDNT.

SAM AND HIS WIFE ARE VERY LOVING PEOPLE WHO COME FROM LOVING FAMILIES. THEY WILL LOVE AND CHERISH THE CHILD, NO MATTER WHAT THE SEX IS. FURTHERMORE, IT SOUNDS LIKE ALL OF YOU ARE MORE CONCERNED WITH THE SEX OF THE CHILD THAN HE IS… GEEZ, WHO IS THE SEXIST ONE HERE? IT DOES WORK BOTH WAYS… GET A GRIP!

First, of all, congratulations to Sam and Crystal. I’m not sure why everyone would be so upset that he would want a boy to carry on his family name. He is very proud of his family and everything they have done, that is why his charity named the heart center at the local hospital the Sam Hornish Family Heart Center and not the Sam Hornish, Jr. Heart Center. I think that it is wonderful that he is proud and wants to carry on his family name. It’s just too bad everyone can’t feel this way about their family.

CONGRATS! HERES TO A HEALTHY BABY AND MOM!

FROM THE AKRON HORNISH FAMILY!

He’s proud of his family and some of you probably don’t have a clue what it means to be such a close knit family and want to carry on the name. I’m sure a Samantha would be just fine for the Hornish’s!! You can’t take every little thing out of context and draw conclusions, and there’s NOTHING wrong with desiring a boy…you know very well if it is a girl she will be the center of ALL the hearts of the Hornish’s!!! Bless you Sam and Crystal during this exciting time!

I don’t really get what all the uproar is about. So he wants a male to carry on the name – most guys do. I, as a female, hate there’s only 1 cousin to carry on our surname and he’s not married and has no kids – so it will probably die w/ my dad and his brother. I’m sure that Sam Hornish will love his kid regardless, but he’s just stating a preference. My grandmother told me many times growing up that she wanted me to be a girl (she lived next door and babysat all the time). Lucky for her she got her wish, but had I been a boy, she would have loved me just the same. And so what, if their comments are old-fashioned in your opinion – they’re not trying to name your child, so get over it. Just be happy for them and quit bashing people you don’t even know. As for their kids reading this, you really think this article is going to appear in their hands 15 years later? And if it does, I’m sure the kid would know whether he/she was loved or not and would be smart enough to overlook the article. If they have a girl, it might make her more proud of her name and she may pass it along when she has kids.

And anyway maybe Sam’s parents other grandkids so far are all girls, so yet another reason he wants a boy. He & his wife will get what the good Lord blesses them with.

Still though Sam does have a good statistic of getting a boy since the area where he grew up (Archbold, OH) is known for its boys…at least in my extended family. Even Sam’s former classmate, my cousin Doug, came from a family of 3 boys and so far he & his wife already have 2 sons!

first off..congrats to Sam and Crystal
those of us around here(Ohio)that know them have been waiting for this day to come..everyone needs to understand how happy they and their families are and how much they want children
i see nothing wrong with Sam wanting a boy and wanting to carry on the tradition of the name he carries too..the name means alot to him and he want to continue it
just because he made the comment about wanting a boy does not mean he doesn’t want girls too..he will love and cherish any children he and Crystal have
Sam and Crystal are very loving people from very loving families and will love all their children, no matter how many they have(boys and girls)
again congrats Sam and Crystal..we all look forward to meeting the new member of the family

Are they just gonna keep trying and trying until they have a boy?? Well.. my parents had four girls before they got a boy. I higly doubt they were having 5 kids just so they could have one boy, because my mom used to tell me when I was a kid that she thought my brother would be a girl. And my moms friend has seven girls and no boys.. Why are they sooo keen on having a boy? The most fun is having both boys and girls

I started a family at the age of 22 and now 5 years later I have five kids (5 year old boy, 4 year old girl, 2 year old boy and 5 month old twin girls). I wasn’t planning on having so many, it just “happened”. I love them with all my heart and I still would if they were all boys or all girls! And when Sam and Crysal have their baby, a boy or a girl, they’ll hopefully see that it doesn’t matter what sex your child is, you’ll always love it And I for one hope they won’t have 10 girls and end up like The Doggars, just to have a boy.. (no offence to the Doggars, I just could never live like that).
