We have the names picked out

So my righty (I call A righty) is Joel Ross and my lefty is Rigel Joseph. I wanted Joseph Rigel but the daddy wanted to name one after his best friend Rigel and wanted the babies to have their own initials. Oh and the Ross is dh's middle name.

I'm getting used to the name Rigel a bit. Just thought I'd share.

 

Is it pronounced Reagel or Righgal? or somthing else? I think it sounds nice, there probably won't be any others with that name in school and the guy must be a great friend for your DH to want to name is son after him. That will help make your son feel special.
I think they are both winner names ( and I like that their intials are reversed rather than the same I think that's a good think identity wise.)

 

YAY!!! doesn't it feel great to have the names picked!! those are handsome names!! Great job momma!!

 

Congrats on deciding!
And yes, I'm curious too how Rigel is pronounced.

 

I am curious how you pronounce Rigel too. It is a unique name and I like it!

 

Thanks everyone, sorry about the lag.

Its pronounced like Nigel (like the dad from the wild thornberrys lol).

Nye-gel or Nye-jal kinda inbetween the two. Does that make sense?

Its a star in the Orion constellation and means foot in arabic.

I'm not too thrilled on the foot part though.
