Name the Grandmother Contest!!

Brad's dad posted a really good idea in one of the comments below:

My loving spouse continues to struggle with a moniker so maybe we should have a contest to help her much like the one that named our first born, Nospeekada. The person who guesses the baby's weight the closest gets to determine Linda's alias (proposed names must be presubmitted along with the guestimate).

Creativity is a must so start submitting your suggestions and weight guess now! Remember, any name remotely resembling a vegetable, fruit, animal, or inanimate object will be rejected.

So, there it is! We will have a contest to Name the Grandmother! To enter, just post a comment, guess the birth weight, and your suggestion for a name. The contest will end on January 1, 2007 so start thinking! And so we don't get any duplicates,
Jill's parents are "Nonnie and Poppie" and Brad's dad is "Grandpa."

Note - For the weight guessing, we will invoke Price is Right rules: the closest guess without going over.

Wait: 9 months, 3 days, 12 hours and 2,002 seconds. (Whoop!)

Heft: three-fifths of a stone. (The English measure themselves in stones and their money in pounds, you uncultured Americans.)

Name: Grandma, Grandmother, or "Yes, Ma'am." (Any thing else would be vulgar.)
