Something light....and fun to make and have!

ANACONDA · January 24, 2003 12:00PM

My wife just told me a little while ago that we are going to have another baby! We're talking about names. Got any suggustions? If I could slip a numismattically oriented name in my wife's mind, that would be cool. We're looking for something that has no distasteful nicknames associated with it and that goes well with "Crane". Since she just found out today, we don't know whether it's going to be a girl or boy.

We've been working on this for a while, so we're pretty ecstatic. Our kids give us a lot of joy so one more is very cool for us!

Here's something numismatic that i heard a friend say:

What some dealers do...rip it, dip it, flip it and and ship it.

Also.....i'm at the Houston show....very, very active. Pre-boom buzz. Held a Coronet Double eagle in NGC Proof 68 Ultra Cam. 400K. Looks like a modern bullion coin, so fine.

Have had a 1795 Flowing Hair Dollar in NGC MS 65 in one of my cases this weekend. Sold a magnificent proof 67 cameo morgan for a friend for pinch over 50K.

Bought some absolutely incredible coins this weekend. A proof 66 Baber Quarter that is so intensely colorful that i am tempted to say that it is more intense than any morgan i have owned. Ya'll will see it when i get back home.

bought a constellatio in ms 63 that is a real beaut...fully struck, well centered nicely toned....mmmmmm

got a pilgrim in 66, (a coin that never comes nicely toned) with the most gorgeous bilateral toning imaginable...

has a friend memo me a norfolk in icg 69....that is mind blowing....

Someone (a board member) is trying to buy my toned Indian Head collection....of about 7 coins...all monsters....if he gets them he'll offer them on eBay.

Bought 4 very cool patterns....an aluminum Braided Hair Cent, an aluminum Morgan Dollar and a proof 65 Ultra Cameo Silver $1 pattern that is unbelievably magnificent. Also bought a ms 63 Lafayette with totally turqoise toning.

i won't be on line again for a while so forgive me if i don't respond to any comments or questions for a day and a half or so....

Gotta go, i'm tired!

Adrian,

That is great news! Congratulations to both of you!

LucyBop · January 24, 2003 12:18PM

Congratulations Daddy-o!!!! If it's a girl, I was always fond of the name Lucille! For a boy, Elvis hits the spot Daddy-o!

jbsteven · January 24, 2003 12:18PM

I can say I bought a toned morgan from Anaconda at the show and it and everything else he has are top notch. Anyone reading this and has never seen Adrians warehouse of exceptional coins is missing something. You Moragn guys would like the 1895 PCGS pf67cam in his case. his toned dollar collection is breathtaking, while I was out of breath something made me pull my cash out of my pocket and pay him for a toned Moragn. Maybe Adrian sprays the air around his booth with some kind of chemically enhanced something or another to make people buy things from him (whatever it is it works).

airplanenut · January 24, 2003 12:20PM

Some good names:

Morgan
Steel (Crane)- hehe

I guess I'm not good at naming people... you could always try "Franklin" for a boy

Congrats!

Jeremy

Placid · January 24, 2003 12:20PM

Morgan is that a girls name?

Clankeye · January 24, 2003 12:21PM

Congratulations Adrian.

I like Hart Crane for a boy. He would have the name of a great, under appreciated American Poet.
And I like Juliet Crane for a girl. Juliet--well in literature who was more romantic?

Neither character real or fictional, actually came to a good end though, hmmm. Oh well. You asked.

Oh, numismatic themed names... Ike and Susan?

Sounds like the coin show is a lot of fun. Wish I was there.

Clankeye

MacCoin · January 24, 2003 12:27PM

Congrads on the baby and the new coins. I love the tones on a barber and Liberty Morgan is a good name for a boy or girl

Casey · January 24, 2003 12:45PM

Congrats! My votes - Casey Morgan Crane (girl) Casey Franklin Crane (boy). Your wife will be so thrilled that you'll want to compensate me with one of those super fine Barbers!

Casey

littlewicher · January 24, 2003 12:49PM

Boy: Fabio Crane
Girl: Raven Crane

I love those names.

Petescorner · January 24, 2003 12:49PM

Might want to stay away from Frazier or Niles.

Congrats though!

kaleidoscopic · January 24, 2003 12:49PM

What about Frasier? Kscope

coppercoins · January 24, 2003 12:50PM

Charles Augustus Crane.

Charles, for Charles Barber, not after me...I've been a Charles all my life - not too many connotating things - upchuck, chuck-duck, etc...just stupid stuff.

FC57Coins · January 24, 2003 1:06PM

Ah crap - I was going to suggest Augustus Crain but Copper beat me to it. Well congratulations anyway Adrian - now you'll have to learn to behave all over again!!!

Oh and as a thought - I think when the blessed event comes you should send all of us a congratulatory ANACONDA coin instead of cigars!

Best wishes

Frank

CLASSICS · January 24, 2003 1:48PM

thats wonderfull news, and congrats, to both of you

as far as a name, that is very personal, and something you will have to deceide, but what ever name you do deceide, lets hope he or she is healthy, and when grown up, loves to collect beautiful coins

..........okay........male or female.......morgan crane.......

...so every time you look at your beautiful baby, you will remember all the beautiful toned morgan dollars you have had.

gsaguy · January 24, 2003 1:56PM

Congrats Adrian!! Why didn't you tell me and the squeeze at the show?

Names? If it's another girl, how about Candy Crane?

Okay, I'll give it some serious thought. I really do like the name Morgan....even for a girl.

GSAGUY

zenny · January 24, 2003 2:29PM

Congrats from socal, Adrian.

After drooling over your coins for so long two unconventional yet somehow quite fitting names popped right into my head.

The name "Rainbow" for a girl might fit...

And although unusual, and for some perhaps a mite short, how about "Cam" for one of the favored gender. (haha, just jesting here, Lucille).

MrLee · January 24, 2003 2:50PM

Oh. You're going to hate this one:

Ana Conda Crane.

leothelyon · January 24, 2003 3:33PM

Adrian
Names are tough! You have nine months to make the decision. I had twins 14 years ago and figured I needed 8 names depending on the outcome. I'm glad it's you and not me. Congratulations to you and yours.

Leo

gsaguy · January 24, 2003 3:55PM

Mr Lee.....ROTFLMAO!!! That's the best one yet.

BSqr · January 24, 2003 4:43PM

Congrats on your new Texan.

Loki · January 24, 2003 4:54PM

Congratulations and may God bless you and your family Adrian!

For my name suggestions:
Boy .... something starting with a "C", like Cameron

(his initials will be "CC" lol)
Girl .... Isabella (one of my fav commems)

relayer · January 24, 2003 6:07PM

Congratulations.

If it's a girl then Morgan Rainbow Crane

If it's a boy then Barber Coronet Crane

If it's neither then Monster Crane

(Actually Morgan Rainbow Crane would be a pretty good name. I should win something for that)

MICHAELDIXON · January 24, 2003 9:35PM

My youngest was named by my oldest son when he was 9. He is named Victor (after Victor D. Brenner) Morgan (after the dollar) Dixon.

MrKelso · January 24, 2003 9:46PM

If it's a Boy then Cosmo Crane Would be his name

Excellent news!!!!!!!

agfox · January 24, 2003 9:51PM

Big Coingrats! My wife is also pregnant with our second. It's truely an exciting time! Lots of neat ideas here! And when your ready to be rid of that silly alum morgan pattern you just yell

Editted to fix numerous drunken typos...

bigtonydallas · January 24, 2003 9:52PM

Congrats Adrian!

Carson Crane.
Denver Crane.
George Washington Crane.

If a girl MS70 Crane!!! Just kidding.

IrishMike · January 24, 2003 9:57PM

Congrats and if its a girl I would name her Anna Williams Crane, after you know who

. A nifty sounding boys name would be James Longacre Crane. Anyway they work for me. Can't wait to see your imaged purchases.

Edited to add: what was I thinking, how about Rockne Crane?

mommam17 · January 24, 2003 9:57PM

Congrats! Isabella Crane is the one!!!

boiler78 · January 24, 2003 10:03PM

How about Stella Crane

MadMonk · January 24, 2003 10:09PM

Whatever you do pleeeeze don't name her Sacagawea!!!!!!!!!

I do like Issabella, so does my better half. We have actually put it on our short list. We havent had any luck for over a year, so you are indeed blessed.

matteproof · January 24, 2003 10:29PM

Hi Anaconda. Congratulations and GREAT NEWS on your child. There is no greater gift than children. I wish you and your growing family ALL of GOD's blessings (Psalm 127: 3). The name "Christian" (as in Gobrecht) comes to mind if it's a boy. The name "Libby" (i.e. Liberty) comes to mind if it's a girl (Elizabeth is the proper name for Libby). All the best.

matteproof

coinguy1 · January 24, 2003 10:33PM

Adrian,

Great news - a sincere congratulations to you and your family.

Names? Annie, if it's/she's a girl (which is my bet) and Andy if it's/he's a boy. Obviously, the middle name for either must be Anaconda.

ccrdragon · January 24, 2003 10:35PM

Super news snake! Congrats!

For a boy - Dillon
For a girl - Vivian

Middle names - up for grabs!

cointagious · January 24, 2003 10:59PM

congrats to the two of you, adrian. best wishes.

Zerbe · January 24, 2003 11:02PM

Congatulations Adrian !!! How about Matt , (matte proof ) for a boy, And Satin, ( satin proof ) for a girl. On the lawyer side, I don't know if there is anybody with this name, but how about Justice Crane ? Probably could be boy or girl. Hope you have a Pic of that 1895 PR67 Cameo Morgan. ZERBE

cacheman · January 25, 2003 12:08AM

Sand

Outhaul · January 25, 2003 12:12AM

How about:

George Morgan Crane

Georgia Morgana Crane

shirohniichan · January 25, 2003 12:23AM

Congrats on the baby on the way!

We planned to give our kids middle names after composers we like. Our daughter's middle name is "Clara" after Clara Wieck Schumann (wife of Robert Schumann, pianist, and composer in her own right).

nwcs · January 25, 2003 12:32AM

Much congratulations! If it is a boy, name him Augustus. Augustus Crane. AC. Just like Adrian Crane. Save money on monogrammed towels. If it is a girl, how about Morgan? Morgan Crane. That works.

stujoe · January 25, 2003 1:43AM

Wow! Congrats Adrian! And all these great numismatic related names are great (well a lot of them

)!

I wasn't into coins yet when any of my 3 were born. I wonder if they would get upset if I went down to the Courthouse on Monday and had all their names changed?

MacCoin · January 25, 2003 1:51AM

stujoe
I can see it now "hey kids I just change your names to penny, nickel and dime."

ANACONDA · January 25, 2003 12:15PM

Hey, some good names there. I like Morgan. There are some other ones too that sound like they have some merit.

Hey GSA Guy....do you own that morgan that you're using as your moniker? Wait, that's a stupid question. Will you show it to me?

Good night.

adrian

gsaguy · January 25, 2003 12:22PM

Yes. And no.

GSAGUY

dabugler · January 25, 2003 12:27PM

I like Augustus. Gus has always been a cool name that implied "Don't @#%& with me!"

airplanenut · January 25, 2003 12:38PM

<< <i>Hey, some good names there. I like Morgan. >>

I said Morgan first

I say if you use it, I get to pick out one coin from your inventory to forever remember you and your bundle of joy

As a card I got when I was born says, "With every bundle of joy... comes a bundle of poop!" Just remember that

Jeremy

Something light....and fun to make and have!
