Bloggy Giveaway Carnival!




Photobucket





OK, I love these Bloggy Giveaways, but I've never been brave enough to do one of the giveaways. I'm just not the most online savvy person :) But I came up with a good reason to offer a giveaway this time around. We love BOZ the Bear over here and we are going to giveaway two never opened DVDs. To learn more about BOZ please goto: www.bozthebear.com

Its a great series of DVDs for the 2-6 year olds, although all my kids enjoy them :)
And we need help playing the baby name game ... how fun is that?


So to enter:

1. Leave a comment here at this post and help us with a the "baby name game" We know we are expecting a baby girl and we are certain we will be using the name Mary. Just not sure if it will be her first name or middle name. So please leave me a suggestion for names that go good with Mary.

2. A winner will be chosen using some fair, objective method (Isn’t there a website I can use?) at the end of the Superbowl on Sunday, February 3, 2008.

3. Winner will be contacted via email, so be sure you leave your email address either in your profile or on the comment itself. In the event that some one gives the wrong email address, another winner will be selected within 3 days.

4. Contest is open to bloggers and non-bloggers alike, but to U.S. residents only.

And be sure to check out other giveaways at the Bloggy Giveaway Carnival (just click on the button above)

Mary is such a pretty name... so many good feelings attached to it. I think that the middle name should be after a special mentor in your life!

Love the dvds.

Tracy DeLuca said...

So many great suggestions for names! Lets see.... I love Catherine Mary or Mary Catherine (could be because my confirmation name was Catherine!).

Also... maybe something like Cassandra.

I will be checking back to see what name you decide! When we thought we were having a girl we had the name picked out: Cassiopeia Star and we would call her Cassie. Then she turned into a he. So... maybe next time! LOL

James & Andrea said...

Too fun!

My soon to be sister-in-law has the name Mary Aspen (first and second names). It is tradition in her family for women to have the first name Mary and go by her middle name. I have a cousin who goes by Mary Susan (both names) after mother and grandmother. I like both names!

Angela said...

Connor would love those DVDs!!

My vote would be for Mary Elyse :)

Please enter me. I have heard so many good things about these DVDS! We would love to have them. Thank you for giving away such a nice prize. :)

I have a friend who's full first name is MarySarah. Yup, that is what call her. :) Congratulations. You have a contagious smile in your profile photo. And your little boy is cute too! :)

Jen said...

First off CONGRATULATIONS!!!

The first middle name I thought of was Anne and I do have to say I think it sounds good together.

Mary Anne
or
Mary Jane
Mary Lynn
Mary Marie (Marie is both my daughter and my Middle name)

Does your middle name sound good w/ Marie? I picked my middle name for my daughter so she could always have a part of me with her. Just a thought...

Ryan or Kara said...

Mary Eileen has been one of my favorites.

Ginny said...

When I was little, Mary used to be play name :) I like Mary Lynn

Angela said...

Mary Elizabeth is my fav!

mommyofmany said...

All of our children have biblical names, so I tend to think in that realm. Of course, it would need to sound nice with your last name, and I don't know that. :)

Mary Grace
Mary Joy
Mary Elizabeth
Mary Abigail (Abigail means "the father is joyful :) )

The name Mary does seem to sound especially nice with three-syllable middle names... to me, anyway. :)

I wouldn't personally choose Mary Jezebel because I believe the meaning of a name is VERY important and would want to point my child to the godly character in the Bible that we've named them after. :)

I also like the sound of Mary Katherine and Mary Melissa.

All that being said, I'm sure God will lead you to the perfect name for this new blessing.

GiBee said...

My son loves these DVDs! How about Mary Christine? I'm partial to Mary Claire, though...

Julie said...

I had two boys, so I can't even think in terms of girls' names, sorry. I live in MN also. Stay warm where ever you are, spring is around the corner. Thanks for doing the give away, it's fun.

Deborah in Atlanta said...

I like Mary Elizabeth, I think it sounds classy. But sometimes it's fun to see what her initials would be and go with something whimsical along that line also. Love the DVDs and would love to win them. Good luck with your upcoming birth. If I am lucky enough to win, contact me at dmj53(at)hotmail(dot)com

Michelle Constantinescu said...

One of my favorite names of all time is Mary Alice. It was my grandmother's name (she went by Mary), and she was such a beautiful little girl and woman. The name fit her perfectly!

(I use random.org for choosing winners, in case you haven't heard of that one.)

You can do a google search on random number generators and you'll find something to pick the number for you.

I truly believe in the meanings of names, and Mary means bitter, so unless it is a family name, I would not use it. There are so many great names with Mary, though!
Mary Sophia.
