my youngest nieces’ best friend is named Parker, and she loves it. Let’ not forget Parker Posey, one of my favorite actresses…i’m sure she loves it as well. Parker Stevenson has always been one of my faves. The new baby will suffer no dire consequences bearing the name Parker; i’m sure of it.

He was born at the exact minute that the Olympic started. The Olympics started at 8:08 on 08/08/2008 and Parker chose this time to make his entrance!

That is so cool, Parker is a 2008 Olympic Baby, plus I think he’s going to be lucky in life with the number 8 because of all these same numbers.

Well….thanks (I think) for the explanation Vickie, but I guess I just like first names that are actually first names, rather than surnames. I’m sure the baby is lovely, and I guess it could’ve been worse than Parker, I just don’t personally like it at all.

Oh my gosh! 08080808080808080808!!!!!!!!

Phoebe:

Clay’s own birth name is “three last names smushed together.”

Clayton is from his maternal grandmother’s maiden name. His middle name is from his paternal grandmother’s maiden name. His last name at birth is his birth father’s last name.

Parker’s names follow a similar pattern, and honor the three families in the baby’s life.

I think it’s a beautiful name.

Am I the only one who thinks that it is freaky that a 29 year old boy man had a baby with a 50 year old old woman. Come on people…I mean good luck to them, but its still freaky…

Plus Christina Aguilera had her baby at 37 weeks and he weighed 6lbs 2oz too…

There was a baby born here today that was born at 8:08 am and weighed 8lbs! *lol*

I love the name! Parker is such a cute name for a boy.

Not trying to be critical or anything but SERIOUSLY?! This is either some crazy coincidence or, more likely, somebody decided to make the time coincidental. 8/08/08 at 8:08 a.m. Crazy! His birth weight/length isn’t as crazy because that’s some clever addition/subtraction by us.

Congrats to the fam, though! Little Parker will sure be proud of his birthday!

My guess is that he was born at 8:06 or something and one one of the nurses thought it would be cute to say 8:08. It’s done all the time. They might have planned 8/8/08 since it is a “lucky day”, but I know that like with 7/7/07, one hospital here would not let anyone schedule elective c-sections today, only emergencies because of the demand for the day.
