WHY DON'T WE STEP UP OUR WEIRDNESS?
I feel we've been far too sane of late what with the normality of turning ourselves into Bond characters.
So, folks are getting excited about the Coming Soon Gyllenhaal aka Maggie and Sarsy's baby and I got all excited about the prospect of making tables so I've combined these two major events to bring you: Gyllenhaal Junior Sweepstakes.
The basic idea is everyone picks ONE name from the tables below and when the babs arrives (we think around October) the closet name wins! Who knows, maybe someone will be bang on the money? The successful punter will probably win a JakeWatch t-shirt (because I swear they will available soon!) or some similar paraphernalia. As you can see, I have already nabbed the name Susie.
All you have to do is write your chosen name in the comments section and PLEASE no anons on this one, leave some kinda bleedin' name! Any anons will get deleted. Only ONE name each. britpopbaby's word is final. Speak to my lawyer (Joyce Davenport) if you have a problem with that.

NB - Before anyone asks, I didn't put 'Jake' as an option because they are so not calling the baby that!
OFF TOPIC: Regarding Blogger problems!
Blogger was down A LOT yesterday but from what I understand they are upgrading the system. It's very frustrating, I know and I've considering moving to other services but bottom line is Blogger is the best blog hosting site around and it's been good to us so let's support it through this difficult time. Everyone needs a little love.

Oscar! Maybe Maggie and Sarsy like Oscar Wilde as much as I do...
Leila!
Isaac. Spot on.
Helena!
Because Helenas are a l w a y s beautiful.
Zachary!
Damn! I wanted 'Isaac'...
I'll take "Gabriel" then. For some reason I think thy will stick to a 'normal' name..
BBP - 'the closet name wins' - that got my my mind freewheeling!
Could suggest a few to add to your list. But to avoid any troll excitement on this theme - I'll be good and just request isaac.
Felix! This is a romanian character in a book..the character is an intellectual young man..in love with a woman's photograph..
I feel a similarity between him and me..why is that,I wonder..
Wow - its like the harrods sale - eveything goes too fast - ok - can I please have theo instead.
Damn you, joyce davenport and silver. Back to the drawing board.
Hey guys I dont think there's a problem with some of us picking the same name, as long as each of us only picks one name!
Did that make sense? Maybe BPB wouldnt mind! Or maybe I should increase my medication?
Can I blag Stephen? Or must I choose one ON the tables?
Really Silver? Cos MY WATERS so tell me it's gonna be a Zachary (Isaac was my second choice).
OK, Brit, if Silver's right I'll also put my name down for Zachary. If not, I'll nab Harry.
And Sarah920, sweetheart - Stephen IS on the list already.
jasper
LOL Zoo, maybe BPB wouldnt mind, cos it seems a bit unfair for posters who log on a bit late. But she did say no one could take susie, so its prolly one each. Sorry for the confusion!
Maybe later we could come up with the most bizarre names and have a competition. and its now official, naming your baby Moses is a crime.
I have no clue, but I pick Megan and Theo!
Sorry, it was only one name, right.... I pick THEO then.
Okay, it's less 'what you think the baby will be called' and more 'competition fun'.
You can only choose ONE and it has to off the boards. Thats how a sweepstake works.
cina, theo has gone but you can have megan.
Jasmin
Olivia.
(Although how cool would it be if they picked Leila?? That's only one letter off from my name.)
Eva
Good lord, britpop! What did you and Anneka put inside you to come up with that -friendly put- weird collection of names? lol
I'm onto them, I know how they'll choose the winner. It's not these specific names that will get you anything, but rather the letter they start with and the sex of the baby.
Believe me, it coulda got a whole lot weirder.
Hmm..then my pick was not very inspired..what other male name starts with an 'F'?..Friederich? I'm out of names..
The main page looks great with those names on blue and pink!
Can you put Benjamin down?
I think they'll call him Benjamin!!
:P
Okey, Britpop, I'll go for Megan then! :-)
ok helps if I read the "you can only pick one off the boards"
I'll say Nina then.
I really like the name Nina - it's pretty.
Can I choose Zoe, it's quite normal but it's a pretty name. thank youuuu
BPB: Believe me, it coulda got a whole lot weirder.
I want proof. BTW: How about a "weirdest name competition"?
Abby.
Sirius
stephen/helena
Must I try to weird it up dear?...
TBL: Yes, please!

Oh I could tell my stories when I was in the OSS.??
"BBP - 'the closet name wins' - that got my my mind freewheeling!" Good one, 'stoked'!! BPB hasn't yet noctice, has she?
I know I said "Gabriel" and I'll stick to it, but I like "Ben" or "Sam", so if none of the names on this table, I'm hoping for "Ben" or "Sam" as their choice.
"Sam Sarsgaard" sounds good..
Why is Indy not an option?
Ok, my choices;
Umberto, cause i think the parents may just be whack or Abby
I second benjamin too, and while we are at it ruth or naomi.

Oh, I was fond of the Bee keeper hat, sweetheart.

Damn! I scared him away. I do that sometimes. :(*
Abby if we can double up.
Petra if it's one person each name.
Damn! How can I register without having to add a post?!
No clue here..
Dear BPB, Can more than one person pick the same name? will it total up?
Xola!
Hi Britpopbaby,
Ta Da!
This post will introduce the world (well Jake Watch anyway) to your fantastic new legal counsel (I've always wanted to call myself that) JoyceDavenport in all her splendour.
ONE EACH from the boards ONLY.
And HI JOYCE! You look splendid, dahling.
[Sob.] I want to look at pictures of Jake. Preferably new. Even if he's wearing socks and clogs. Where are those cursed papparazzi?
Thanx Britpop.
I used to look quite like, well vaguely like, Joycie in real life...about twenty years ago. But now thanks to the wonders of Jake Watch I am rejuvenated and revitalised.
Beyoncee
I call Beatrice!
If there was a "Simon" option I say name the child after myself. It would be a great honour.
DAMN, PG got Beatrice!
Ok, mine are Norbert and Fiona!
No wait! Take Fiona off, I'll stick with Norbert.....
I am going with Kyla!
Roman! :D
I choose Ursula
I figure all the names are taken by now, so I'll pick my own... Lance or Sierra.
And about Blogger... I was mightily upset with all their mucking about yesterday (made working on blogs a bit of b*tch), but you're right BPB, they are the best around and worth a bit of inconvenience now and again.
^Yeah, it was annoying but no probs so far today. Now I've said that it'll probably get sucked through a vortex or something.
There are a few names left ~dkbb~. You have to pick one of the board to be in chance of winning the special prize!
Yardly. Who WOULDN'T name their kid Yardly?
Stephen
This post has been removed by a blog administrator.
OK, brit, I'll pick a name on the board, so to speak....Lysander.
Lysander Gyllenhaal Sarsgaard... poor kid would NEVER have his name spelled correctly. ;)
Winter
If it's still available, i pick Verona! :)
~DKBB~: LOL
I will go for xenon and Yardly, just cause I am weird like that. Can't you just hear it? "Hi I am xenon/yardly gyllenhaal-sarsgaard, please hand me the noose."
btw I love my bond girl, ain't she pretty!
sorry I meant xenon or yardley, basically I don't care aslong as it's weird.
Katie of Sweden is hiking/ on some secret Jake watch mission in Lapland I think, so I pick a name on her behalf: Greta. After the Garbo.
cuthbert and xola
Damn! I missed the Ironic Black Name Vote of "Quiana". There were 4 Quiana's in my 7th grade class. Actually I'm pretty sure there was at least one "Kiana" amongst that number.... Hmmm I'm sticking with Xenon and Cuthbert though.
Xola!
Shit!
Davina! =D
I'm thinkin' I need to revise my pick. To make things more balanced, I would spell it Lysaander Gyllenhaal Sarsgaard. ;)
^^ LMAO!
I'm soooo glad you put Susie on. That's the name of my favourite cat. Though I am peeved that neither Ahearn, Ming or Dr Mambo made it onto the list.
I can't remember which ones are left but I like Edgar, Tabitha and Vernon.
Beskyddaren...I agree with you that Helenas are always beautiful.
Well it's slim pickins' now.... I guess i'll go with Baxtor... if that's still available!
Well...seeing as it's my RL name I will pick Fiona
Fiona. and its gonna be a girl. I just know!
and york, if its a boy ,despite my 6-th sence about it being a girl
Crap, the ones I wanted are all taken! It's NO good having a job where I've got no access to internet and JW whatsoever!
Oh well, if it's still available I'll go with Iona, please!
This is fun!
Beskyddaren...I agree with you that Helenas are always beautiful.
Not one ugly Helena comes to mind, lol! Say Helena Christiansen and that dark brown hair + blue eyes combo ala Gyllenhaals. Hot. The sexiest combination. Drooling over blonds is getting SO old.
oh, only one name... Fiona. Its a girl. And its a pretty name, i think theyll go with sth normal but cute. Did you hear about the name Angelina and Brad gave to their kid? And Gwinneth called her son Moses...I hope they wont try to be so fucking "special" and idiotic.
mackie took fiona, thesweetest one so I'm putting you on York.
And Anneka - three names? Can you not fucking read? For that I'm giving you the bonus retard name choice - 'Anneka the brain damaged seal Sarsgaard-Gyllenhaal'.
Britpop are you upset with me?
Then can i rather choose Verona?
I've just put you down as York, thesweetestone cos you mentioned it before.
No, simon. I'm not upset with you. What makes you say that?
NAMES LEFT ARE:
arthur
cuthbert
drew
edgar
kenny
maurice
peter junior
quincy
vernon
willis
carla
quiana
rhona
Pick ONE only.
Its ok, maybe my 6-th sence about kid being a girl will turn out to be wrong as almost always. York is a lovely name, kinda like dogs name, but cool:-)
Ok good I'm glad. I guess im a paraoid sort... No one likes me much...
Simon did you pick a name yet?? Brits you so should have put Pussy donw.
Pussy Gyllenhaal Sarsgaard
In answer to the "What did they leave out" question ...What is being said is MTV cut out the last words of his remark ..."as we all are"...I thought I heard it..and they were cutting away to the next thing as he was saying it. Video replay should settle it.
Ok "Quincy" is my pick (if it's not taken) ...it's a famous one is in the music business.
Well done Simon have a gold star.
What’s this MTV thing??? I’m so behind the times, I go to the pub for 5 minutes and I have no clue what you guys are on about!
I thought I've heard something more at first in his speech! Wasn't it smth like.."as we continue to"..? Same thing. Why did they cut him off? And why didn't it air live?
People are saying his Quote was cut on MTV . the one he made about "We are all struggling"...they are saying the last part was cut " as we all are".. I think it's there but for the music and MTV started to cut away to the next thing...
I think you are right then Simon they have have been cutting into the next item with music and stuff
When does it play in the UK? because you can watch for that and report back. I don't think they used the same camera shot that was the same as the short clip on BBC
They normaly do however i don't think they are this year! :-(
Anyway i think its always ages after, maybe a couple of months!
Britpop, you could print this Post with the names, and send it as a birth gift to Maggie.And if she likes and takes a name from the list, she can repay you with a Jake date. Ok,let's not exagerate.A Jake pic as a baby? Jake's Ken collection? Jake's old pampers?..hmm, maybe not his pampers. Jake's finger print? oh,well..whatever she can let go..
Really? that's terrible. Well MTV did advertise that their website would have video clips of all the moments plus back stage interviews(which I haven't seen). On the Pre-Award show. I didn't see him on the red carpet.. They were stopping people to interview and no Jake. But he was laughing during the show as once in a while the camera would cut to him in the audience.
I'll take Carla!
hi britpop, love your blog! can i have carla? it's such a cute baby name and i really want them to have a girl. the thought of a baby girl in jake's arm melts my heart :)
oh no! i take too long posting :(.
umm, can you make new ones? if not, i guess i'll take rhona then...
I'll take Willis!
Drew
Drew
Edgar
damn I'm sooo late...
Quincy please.
Ok I posted before reading the posts. Quincy's out, I'll go way outta left-field and pick Peter Junior then.
Franzi dear, I don't want to alarm you child ....but your face is missing...I trust you are feeling well. Take care dear. ta ta..
Peter Jr
she looks like she is carrying a boy-o!
Kenny.
Cause like mags, its boring and conventional. Jake on the other hand...
I'll have Maurice on behalf of all the anons.
OI! Bitchy Britpop! I put three names down because as I said in my post, I wasn't sure which ones were left - (now who can't fucking read?) - and thought that with your enormous brainpower you'd be able to pick one of those for me. Obviously I overestimated your intelligence. Don't worry, it shall not happen again.
Although I think 'Anneka the Brain-damaged Seal' is a perfectly delightful name that anyone would be happy to call their spawn, I shall not be in contact again until you apologise. I know you have lots of internet friends to stroke your ego now so I won't hold my breath.
And Susie is no longer my favourite cats name. Now it's Tim. Or possibly Krushchev.
^Oi retarded Anneka. All you had to do was read what other names had been taken by simply scrolling through the comments.
You have tabitha and you better fucking like it.
Oh I still love you Anneka, I’ll be your friend. I think you should have left off the brit and put bitchypop sounds good no?I’m sure you will kiss and make up.
Still no bond girl! I think you should start your own blog, It would be fabulous.
I tried to make her start her own blog but she wouldn't. I have her myspace address if you want to harass her though?
Pussy has already been on the prowl, and seen many myspace profiles. I might just do that Brits. Can I leave messages as pussy or NRM or do I have to make a myspace?? I feel if I do that I will have a lack of friends and another crap place for people to look at along with my blog!
Has anyone seen Timbergeek? He best not show his face.
Nope, no sight of him. Keeping my eyes open though...
I call David!
I'm not quite sure which names are left (I did read all comments) so I'm going from memory and I dont't think Arthur has been taken so I'll go with that! Tho I have a feeling they are going to have a girl but all the girl names are gone. Maybe they'll be wacky and call a girl Arthur! Stanger things have happened in the world of celebrity baby names!!
I called Cuthbert and Xola. Is this one of those things where you have to be a member here too? *sniff*
Squallcloud, it's one of those things were you have to read the instructions ;)
You can only pick ONE and Xola has gone already - it's been ticked out on the board but you can have Cuthbert.
And annabel can have arthur.
And mop, there is no David.
NRM, you flatter me. My head has expanded to twice it's normal size, making it three times the size of a normal head.
I did actually think of Bitchpopbaby or Britpopbitchy after I'd posted but by then it was too late. We obviously share a brain, explaining why I only have half.
You should def start a myspace. I have about sixty friends on there and I only know about fifteen of them in real life. It makes you feel better about yourself.
And despite the 'retarded Anneka' comment, you are forgiven Britpop. And I haven't been able to write since we parted company. You took all my creative juices with you. Think you could post them back?
Not much choice left!... Ill go with Maurice
You took all my creative juices with you.
I never touched your juices! I swear!
Yes haydenz you may have maurice. I'll update it later.
I guess Quiana because that's the only girl name left. I really hope they have a girl.
pouts - due to weekend away I'm left with Cuthbert or Quinona? I'll take the very good for you grain....
bugger cuthbert it is..
VERNON is now the only name left!
what ever I take Vernon...;)
