I just wanted to announce the birth of baby Aiko Gianina.
10:59PM EST, July 3 2016
********** Hospital, Silver Spring
5.1 pounds, 16 inches tall
ten fingers, ten toes, and the most beautiful brown eyes in the world.
Baby Aiko was born three weeks ahead of schedule, but not a problem. She is superfine. So is her mom.
Anyway, I just took a break to get my computer and some stuff from the house and am going right back to the hospital.
If I knew Aiko was in a hurry to see the world, I would have asked her to come out eleven days earlier. It would have been the best birthday gift in the world. And it would be cool to have the same birthday as your baby girl. But that's okay. I'm joking, of course. A belated birthday gift is still great. But the most important thing is that she was born healthy and normal, and that Momoko is safe and healthy as well.
So. Belated happy birthdays to me and baby Aiko!
And it's such a wonderful thing that the entire country celebrated her birth, too, with fireworks and everything. Please tell everyone that baby Aiko and her mommies appreciate it. lol
I was wondering if this makes Aiko a Junior, as she has the same name as her sister (she has passed away). But Dad sez it doesn't work for girls since the tradition of having a Junior is to continue the name on the male side in order to continue the lineage, so that the name is carried on. But that's okay. Hyphenated names are still okay for him. And he sez he'll resist calling little Aiko "Junior," under penalty of razzberries.
Papa-san and Mama-san are flying over, no doubt laden down with gifts that Aiko will have no earthly use for at the moment. lol
So that's the latest from Casa Cabot-Sato. Now back to the hospital....
BTW. Apologies for the delay in my SHEPHERD MOON story. I clearly have some other priorities at the moment. Will fix up the formatting and have it out as soon as I can. Don't worry, at least this'll give me something to do instead of just watching Momo eat jello and snore... lol

Congratulations to you hon!
Forgive my curiosity as I remember that you and your wife had trouble with the previous pregnancy but is this child biologically yours? I myself will never have that joy as I never froze any but I would vicariously share in your happiness if that were the case.
In any case, 'we have liftoff'!
Much joy to you and your wife.
Children and family are far
Children and family are far more important than entertaining non-paying guests :)
Congratulations to you, and I'm glad that the young'n is doing fine.
I'll get a life when it's proven and substantiated to be better than what I'm currently experiencing.
FWIW...
...from what I've read, the primary purpose of the designation system is to make it easier to distinguish people with the same name from one another. So it'd certainly seem unnecessary to use it in a case like the one you describe.
Re the general case, as I understand it the "junior" designation only applies to someone from the next generation (or rarely, two generations) from the "senior". (And technically, it's dropped once the "senior" is deceased.)
The designation "II" could apply in a case like this one, or any other where members of the same generation (living or not) share a given name. The late SF writer Fred Pohl (Frederik Pohl Jr.) had a son, Frederik III, who died in infancy. He and his wife named their next male child Frederik Pohl IV.

Best news in the world.
Wonderful news, Bobbie. Congratulations to you and Momoko. I was wondering how things were going. Big hugs to you all.

Many thanks
Thanks so much for the good wishes, Kimmie, Bibliphage, Talia and Arwen! Aiko appreciates it. lol
Aiko and I share the same sun sign, which shows we're both sentimental.. :)
Hope to see you and Arwen in the chatroom soon, Talia.

Congratulations!
Congrats to both new mommies and their new daughter! I will admit the delay had me a little worried something had happened, but you definitely have a fantastic reason for it. Best of luck with your new daughter, and I hope she and your wife are home soon!
May you and your precious family
be supremely blessed. This news lifts my spirits as I recall just how much you two and now three mean to me. What absolutely wonderful news.
Con tanto amore per mia nipote e la sua bella famiglia!
Love, Andrea Lena
So happy...
For the two of you that every thing came out alright. Glad to hear mama's and baby are doing well. Congratulations!
