He-he. We're trying to find him a good name. Do you know a nice Jewish name which starts with G? All I can come up with is Girsh (but right now I've remembered Gilad - don't know how it is translated, though).

UPDATE. Ok, now all my co-workers become interested, so Tracey found a meaning for Gilad. It's "monument of stones" in Hebrew. This was a mountainous region east of the Jordan river...
