I'm sooo happy and a little emotional. This is the best news. My little black boy is finally here.

Added - Look how close London has her head to them. She's just loving this.

They all look great Megs. SO black and shiny. Mom looks a little tired, no wonder, that is a good sized litter.

Congrats London!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks everyone!! I'm so happy and excited!

Now that I know there are lots of boys, which was my preference, I'm going to start referring to him by the name I'm 99% sure is the keeper. It's not set in stone, but the more I think about this name, the more it grows on me. It shortens to a name I like as well.

I think I'm going to call him Thakoon, or "Thak" for short. The "h" is silent, so it sounds like TA-koon, or "Tack" in the shortened version.

What do you think?

Very different name, i like it. What does it mean?

Great news Megs!!!!

I'm so happy for you. Only a couple of months to go until your boy is finally home!

Sure thing. I'll add the link to my signature - I can get rid of the countdown ticker now I guess, so I'll update it shortly. There are not any other pictures posted there yet, but there will be!!

PS - I'm playing around with fonts and colours right now, I hope no one minds.

Thakoon is a fashion designer, born in Thailand. I asked about a possible "theme" for the litter, and "The Designer Litter" was a possibility, and I thought it might be fun to work around the theme.

I played around with a bunch of well known designers names, but I was having a hard time finding something that really struck me. Of course, a call name doesn't have to revolve around the registered name, but I wanted to at least put on my thinking cap and see what I could come up with, while still trying to keep it unique. (i.e. - I didn't want to go with Versace etc.)

So I poured over lists of designers, jotted a few down and played around with other names/words. At first I had overlooked Thakoon, but I'm so glad I reconsidered, because I like it more and more everyday! Even if the litter theme is not "Designers" I think I'll still keep the call name Thakoon!
