On October 29th at 2:19am, MeFites skauskas and UbuRoivas had an 8.2lb. healthy baby boy named Jasper!
Both mother and father are doing well.
I'm sure lil ubu will be posting in no time.

Aw, thanks everybody! To respond to a few...
Holy shit, someone can put up with UbuRoivas on a day to day basis?!
I can confirm that she rolls her eyes at my attempts at snarky one-liners in real life: "We're not on MetaFilter, you know. I'm not favouriting that!"
Waiting a whole week to join? The kid's a slacker, I tell ya.
Must've been how long it took to hack my PayPal account. Took me by surprise, too.
Also, Jasper is a fantastic name.
Thanks! People seem to be responding well to it. I tell you, it's a lot harder than naming a cat. Apart from going well with his mother's surname, we went all analytical & set up criteria like:
- Must be easy to pronounce & spell first go (to compensate for a complicated surname)
- Shouldn't be obviously Biblical, or otherwise loaded with religious meaning (although it's close to one of the Magi's names)
- Cannot be a borrowing from a foreign culture we have nothing to do with
- Isn't a bogan misspelling of a common name
- No obvious current cultural references or associations (eg Barack. I can't tell you how many rugby league players these days are called Beau - presumably named after a Days of our Lives (?) character about 20 years ago. The only association we have at all with the name is Jasper Johns, which is alright in my book)
- Doesn't lend itself easily to playground teasing
- Ideally, has a Latvian and/or Lithuanian equivalent

You know, if nothing else (and yeah, it is pretty much nothing else), the bible is an excellent source for baby names. Mrs. Ghidorah doesn't seem to agree, but Ezra is a fantastic name. Same with Jonah. Even Daniel.
She is willing to go with Noah, though. Unfortunately, it's because she likes ER and has a crush on Noah Wylie.

Welcome to the world, Jasper.
Dear Jasper's parents (this will become your new name, as you'll find out when he's in school),
You have created a beautiful baby boy. He IS quite a handsome infant, but he arrives full of pee and poo and unreasonable, unintelligible demands that mostly mean you two probably cannot sleep at the same time. This will change. He'll stay full of pee and poo, but time will start passing more quickly than you can imagine. You may be able to get some sleep in the meantime, but I can't make any promises about sex. I wish you the best in both areas.
The next thing you'll know, he'll be 13 years old and proportioned like a puppy, with huge paws and a scrawny, lanky body and sprouting little whiskers. The good news is this is what happens if you do it right, or so I'm told. He may or may not smell funny, depending on how you get him trained in regards to bathing. He'll also be able to eat more than any grown man you know, unless you know tournament-going eating professionals. This is to make his paws grow, and we all know it's important to have a solid foundation. Just make sure to feed him mostly healthy things, and let him make himself sick on candy on occasion. That's when you get to say "I told you to take it easy on the candy." By this point, you need to have taught him how to make some food for himself, or you'll be back to the no sleep or sex regimen, and no one wants that!
...
In all seriousness, congratulations to the new parents. That little fella is so cute! Wishes of swift and easy recovery to mom and sweet dreams to the household.

She cries when you don't hand over that piece of tandoori chicken you were about to eat.
Apart from going well with his mother's surname, we went all analytical & set up criteria like: [snip]
Of course, in his future treks across India, he'll be known by his significantly more pronounceable nom-de-plume, Jaspinder "chota Ubu" Roivas. :)
Seriously, I'm in all awe of your criteria-making. My folks named me after perusing Maneka Gandhi's book, which isn't half as bad, but it did signal a move to the secular and mundane.

She is willing to go with Noah, though. Unfortunately, it's because she likes ER and has a crush on Noah Wylie.
Noah was the boy's name that Mr. Sonika and I had picked out for potential male progeny long before I got pregnant. (Actually I picked the name long before I even met the father of my sprog.) Unfortunately, since then, the name has become both über popular (I know of four boys under 5 yrs old named Noah, which is kind of a lot) and ambi-genderous. Not that there's anything wrong with the latter, but really, there are so few good boy's names that I want my son to have a BOY'S name.
We're having a boy in March and have decided on a lovely Portuguese name which has been infamously misheard as "Towel."

That's wonderful—congratulations, and I hope lil ubu has grandparents as slavishly devoted as Mrs. Hat and I! As a gift for the li'l fellow, here's his entry from Hanks and Hodges' Dictionary of First Names:
Jasper (m.) English: the usual English form of the name assigned in Christian folklore to one of the three Magi or ‘wise men’, who brought gifts to the infant Christ at his birth (Matthew 2:1). The name does not appear in the Bible, and is first found in medieval tradition. It seems to be ultimately of Persian origin, from a word meaning ‘treasurer’. There is probably no connection with the English vocabulary word jasper denoting a gemstone, which is of Semitic origin.posted by languagehat at 7:10 AM on November 8, 2010
Congratulations!
For Jasper, I think of the mineral - a few nice sentences from that entry:
"The original materials are often fractured and/or distorted, after deposition, into myriad beautiful patterns which are to be later filled with other colorful minerals. Weathering, with time, will create intensely colored superficial rinds.
The classification and naming of jasper presents a challenge."

So adorable -- nice work! Not only is it harder naming a baby than a cat, but you have to come up with a name that sounds different from the cat's so as to avoid . . . mackerel-related incidents. Jasper is a fine choice.

So heartening to see those photographs of you holding your sweet and beautiful child. Please give him a kiss on his peachfuzzy head from his mefi cyber-aunt.
Welcome to the world baby Jasper. As well as your dear mother, father and biological relatives, there is a whole community around the planet who loves you already and sends you warm good wishes.
May you have a wonderful life, full of loving, being loved, creativity, fulfillment, curiosity, savoring each day, prosperity, excellent health, success, joy, emotional, mental well being and everything good. Happy Birthday!

There is probably no connection with the English vocabulary word jasper denoting a gemstone, which is of Semitic origin.
No, he was specifically & consciously named after the rock, not the magus, and no prescriptivist can order otherwise.

No, because we knew his sex early on from the ultrasound - to save exactly that trouble.
I feel that girls' names are a lot more interesting & varied, anyway, so I imagine it wouldn't be as difficult for us. For example, if you want a really secular kind of name, just go with a flower! Jessamyn is a lovely example (really!), but things like Violet & Heather also spring to mind off the top of my head.
Try to do something similarly nature-based with guys' names & you end up with corny Bold & the Beautiful names: Storm, Ridge, Thorn, River, Cliff, Rock, Tree. A (semi-)precious stone seemed like a good alternative.

On a less cow-rapey point, my sister is named Miranda. My parents at various times have claimed that they named her after the Shakespeare character, at other times, after the moon of Uranus that supposedly had just been discovered when my sister was born. What's much more likely, and supposedly they bragged about it while my mother was pregnant (and, of course, my father had hair down to his ass) was that my sister was actually named after the Supreme Court decision.

I was named at the last second cause I was SUPPOSED to be a Donald (shudder) but I came out early and my Mom pretty much put off naming me until the very last second, like nurse hovering over you going "We really, REALLY need a name for the records" and then depending on who is telling the story either Imagine came on the radio or there was something on TV or she remembered I was SUPPOSED to be born on October 9th or SOMETHING and "John!" flew out of my mom's mouth and bam, I got spared being called Don.
Seriously Don Leavitt? That is like an Italian-Irish gangster. It doesn't help that my middle name is a verb. At least I got away with only being confused with 17th century choral composers and the occasional Victorian reformist.

Sorry for the above comment. I was high on snark and low on empathy. I don't know anyone names Jasper, but I do know the rock, and it is one of my favorites. If you look at name voyager, Jasper has been trending up in the last few years.
This "naming a baby as soon as it is born" thing is one of those weird cultural differences that take some time to get used to. Where I come from, parents have up to six months after a baby is born to register a legal name for free, beyond that it costs about $20 USD.
My family is full of stories of babies getting their definitive names based on personality traits or gestures that remind everyone of a relative, a celebrity, a literary character or just weird things like "She eats like an Ana".
I am soooo lucky I did not get the name my parents had settled on during pregnancy and instead got the name of a great grandparent I frowned like when I was 2 weeks old. The original was a fashionable name at the time, and a name that means something very specific in English: Christian.

Hey, that name voyager is really interesting; I'd never seen it before. I assume the recent spike in Jaspers since 2007 would be related to the Twilight series. It's also #99 with a bullet in Australia (Victoria) - presumably because it's so cold & miserable there that people spend a lot of time reading & watching DVDs, so sooner or later they get around to Twilight once they've seen & read everything else. Also, Lignite is an awful alternative name.

Ghidorah: Miranda, the moon of Uranus, is named after Miranda, the Shakespeare character. In fact, most of the moons of Uranus are named after Shakespeare characters.
Also, Miranda, the moon of Uranus, was discovered in 1948, which makes your parents' story seem a bit suspect.

They're just appealing to a particular puritanical streak in the zeitgeist, and there's only so long anybody can keep plugging the 'noble vampire' as a metaphor for sexual abstinence before everybody gets sick to death of it.
