New Baby Draper

Well, is it a boy or a girl? What do you think they'll name him/her?

I'm going to vote GIRL.

Name: Patricia or Karen. T'was v.v. popular circa 1964.

Well, I'll say boy/girl twins! (Whoopeee for Betty the Downtrodden! She will likely slit her throat!)

for the boy: Donald Michael Draper

for the girl: Deborah Elizabeth

...or the name of Betty's mom...can't remember it right now...for the girl, at least for a middle name.

user-pic

If it's a girl, how about Gloria? This is the woman (wife? girlfriend? companion?) who is living with Betty's father. (Just kidding, folks!)

Chauncy.

Ha ha, flower!

How about Duck Duck Goose for a boy?

or Duck Crab Draper....poor kid...

.....Lisa... or possibly "Fucko-bazoo."

Not sure.

How about Obelzer or Hephzibah?

this is going downhill fast.....sorry, Laurie B!

.....Obelzer! That's original!

.....In the back of my paranoid mind, it occurs that Matt could also pull a "Matt-ism" and the season will open with NO baby.

We could be left wondering most of the season, as we did about Peggy, her baby and her stay in the mental hospital, just what happened there.

Did Betty do the unthinkable? Did something happen before, during or after?

Then, I read a quote from Matt which kind of indicated the presence of a baby in the new season after all.

Or maybe that's just him messing with us.

Argh!! What a mind job!

.....The other thing that occurs to me is just how accidental was this pregnancy, anyway?

I mean, a wife who is used to keeping a certain calendar and taking certain precautions can't be too surprised at the results of her timing. She was the instigator there.

Is there a possibility she did it, maybe subconsciously, to save her marriage??

At the same time, was eating the chicken leg and publicly seducing a stranger her passive-aggressive way of punishing this yet-to-be-born child, for his or her father, the same way she punished Bobby for his father's shortcomings, and passively taking out her rage on Arthur and Sarah Beth Carson?

.....Just got the joke about Deborah Elizabeth.

Did miss something about the other one?

user-pic


Dry, I'm not so sure that Betty didn't just jump Don because she was horny/emotionally needy...I think she f***ed first ~~ and thought later....

Let's face it, there he was two feet away, there for the taking (literally) ~~ so, she took him!

It was only when next due date for her period came and went that she then said to herself..."Uuuhh-oooohhh...damn that man!"

user-pic

Nope, Dry...just a name I thought of (Donald Michael Draper) ~~ they'd just call him Michael.

BTW, what joke? (Deborah Elizabeth)....didn't realize there was a joke there....tell me!!!

user-pic


.....Debbie Reynolds and Elizabeth Taylor.....

user-pic


Dry...well, I'll be snickerty....I made a joke and I didn't even know it...live and learn!

.....You is a Poet, who don't Know it!

Since the other 2 kids are Sally and Bobby, Don and Betty are going to choose something standard. I think it will be a boy and he'll be named David. If it is a girl, Susan.

user-pic


.....Mary Kate or Ashley.....

Oh, wait.....

user-pic

How about Betty liking the name Anna if it's a girl? I'd like to see Don dance around that one! Cheers.

user-pic


....Ooooohhh!!

user-pic


Good one, D&S!

....or Rachel!

user-pic

Sally is probably a Sarah, so Susan would fit well.
Wouldn't it be funny to name a boy Richard...Dick?

user-pic

Her name will be Nora....ha,ha,ha,ha,ha
