Got a little girl on the way.....

....and we're thinking about naming her Bailey. Sure hope Homer pans out for the Reds for many years to come. Of course, I like the name Bailey for several reasons:

1. Homer Bailey - Reds phenom.
2. Bailey Quarters - From one of the best shows ever, WKRP.
3. George Bailey - From the classic "It's A Wonderful Life".
4. Bailey's Irish Cream - My favorite after dinner drink.

GO REDS!

My cousin's baby...well, toddler now...is named Bailey. I've always liked the name. Besides, it's mostly original.

Re: Got a little girl on the way.....

My wife came up with it, not knowing about Homer Bailey. That's the first thing I thought of, which is sad in and of itself, I guess. I really do like the name, however.

Probably a lot better than naming her Homer.

Re: Got a little girl on the way.....

I say go for it. It's an adorable name for a girl. Besides, when Homer Bailey makes it to the big leagues for good, you can get her a baby Bailey jersey!

I wanted to name our daughter Satchel Paige Newman, but my wife vetoed that one

Re: Got a little girl on the way.....

Of course, the Bailey name is a well established Reds name - Homer will be preceded by Bob, Ed and Jim Bailey!

Re: Got a little girl on the way.....

If you man her Bailey maybe she'll have an arm like him. First woman major leaguer maybe

Re: Got a little girl on the way.....

I've already bought her a little pink shirt that reads "My First Reds Tee".
All I'd have to do is have BAILEY with a number put on the back.

Our local High School has a bit of tradition regarding fast pitch softball. Maybe she could take the hill.........wait....there's no mound. Well, maybe she could "enter the circle" for them someday.

I have a daughter on the way too. I wanted to name her Milton, but thats just child abuse.

Good Luck though, kids are fun.

It's a good name. I had planned on naming mine Addison Bailey.

You should name her a girls name... like Danny Graves...
