Congratulations Valerie. My husband and I have a multi talented son named Maxwell. We always felt he deserves a great name to match the wonderful things he'll acomplish in his life, therefore we named him Maxwell Prescott. Sounds very presidential, doesn't it? He likes it and prefers Maxwell to Max. Good luck to you. Hope the labor goes quickly.

Henry.

Dear Val,

Did you think Phineas would be good? It would make him sound intelligent.

I found out we are having a girl (due Oct 20th!!!) - so I can give you some of our boy choices::
Samuel Frances - so
Maxwell Frances
Louis Salvatore - so
Maxwell Salvatore

those are a couple .. if I think of anymore I will email you!!

Val:
Just a hint: Maxwell Michael Warner. Think about it good solid name.

My husband and i cant even deciede on a first name and we're due in 10 days. coodles to you. How about Maxwell Achilles Warner. It kind of sound galdiator like...doesnt it?

What about Street?

Maxwell Street Warner!!
Very nostalgic.

Just kidding.

Val,

I kind of figured that you were pregnant, but sitting behind the anchor desk and the cute fashionable clothes you wear, you can hardly tell. If I had to guess, I would have only guessed you were about 5 months along. Your hair is ALWAYS cute, who does it? You keep it up so well. How does Maxwell "Joseph" Warner, or "Antonio" sound? Let me know!

Maxwell (your boss's name) Larry Robin Paul Pat Dean Warner. No other options...

You should name him Maxwell PATRICK Warner, in honor of the greatest living American sportscaster.

Congratulations!!! I have two children. I have two boys. It was very difficult for us to agree on a name. How about Bailey? Maxwell Bailey Warner. Sounds good. I wish you the best. God bless you and your family!

Of course, the middle name should be SMART.

Once again, I congratulate you & hubbie on the future addition to your family. I hope all goes well. I recall my mom & aunt, when hearing of a baby being born in early fall, that the mom-to-be still had to go through the hot summer. So from my mom & aunt (new deceased), I wish you cool days ahead.

Is there any first, middle or last name on either side of your family that is highly respected. I'm also thinking of many highly respected black leaders starting with slave leaders and those who helped slaves on through the years.

Malcolm King Warner doesn't do it for me. You might know black history and culture better than I. I was pretty active in the 60's in the marches of M.L.King in the name of peaceful demonstrations to gain respect and equal rights for blacks. At least we got the signs down for "whites only" for toilets and water fountains as well as "negroes only" for same.

How about Maxwell Parks Warner remembering one little lady who stood firm,went to jail--Rosa Parks.

for your consideration:Maxwell Edison Warner

Hey Val..
Congrats on the baby, I love seeing you do the broadcast in place of R.B.
How about keeping it Chicago related
Maxwell Street Warner...very Chicago, very Hollywood
he he he

Maxwell Reid Warner

Hi Val,

Be careful with that middle name. esp. regarding the what the initals are going to be. If its an A name M.A.W sounds awful. You're just adorable looking in your pregnancy.

Connie M

Congrats Val.. I noticed today...hard to tell cause you always have a healthy glow about you!

My vote is for Adam

Maxwell Adam Warner...has a nice ring.

Val, You look beautiful by the way. I thought you were pregnant for a long time based on the glow you have had. Anyway, in regards to a middle name, Steven or Sinclair for some reason sound real good to me. Congrats!

Val,

First let me say you look so cute! I just really figured out that you were pregnant last week....I kind of thought so a few weeks ago; but, I wasn't sure. Anyhoo..what about Thomas for his middle name? Also, you might want to get some Just Butter by Warmspirit (www.warmspirit.org/dclloyd) to help prevent stretch marks or fade them out if you get them. Congrats and best of luck to you and your family on the new baby!

Daphne

Congratulations Val!
For some reason as soon as I read the name Maxwell, Kennedy came to mind. So Maxwell Kennedy Warner gets my vote. :)

Val, congrats and you look so pretty pregnant. What about Maxwell Josiah Warner? Cute huh?

Hi, Valerie:

Finally, it was confirmed! You look incredible! I thought you may have been pregnant a while ago, because your wardrobe changed drastically and the camera never quite focused on anything more than your face and upper torso.Besides, you are always behind the desk. How about Alexander? Maxwell Alexander Warner...I wish you and your husband all of the best!

Oh Val.. Congrats to you and your family.. My son Kieran was born 10/9 he will be six this year. We have a ton of Libras in our family, mother 10/2, brother 10/11 and a full list of cousins... plenty of them. Grrl I was like what's up with the wardrobe, but you look good and your hair is growing. Take it easy and enjoy yourself...
Hmm I'll take a shot at the name thing..
Maxwell Jacob Warner
Maxwell Jordan Warner
cool initials...

Congratulations!! I thought you might have been pregnant--or retaining water. Wasn't sure which one it might be!!

I like Henry as a middle name.
Also, is your maiden name a possibility? That would be a wonderful tribute to your family.

Congrats! Here's a few names that I thought of... Maxwell Oliver, Maxwell Jordon, Maxwell Parker, Maxwell Brock, Maxwell Sawyer, Maxwell Nicholas, Maxwell Daniel, Maxwell Wesley, Maxwell Charles and Maxwell Roger. Well hope these came in handy. Good Luck and Many Blessings.

Valerie,

I saw your expecting mother spa experience this morning. You and Ana are glowing beautifully. For Lil Maxwell, how about Maxwell Adrian Warner.

Val Congrats on your soon arrival, you have the glow of mother hood.

Val, my 25 year old sons first name is Errimis, like the mens cologne (Aramis)...he named his 2 year old son Jordan Errimis. I think Maxwell Errimis Warner is a nice name for your son. Your thoughts?

Hi Val
Like someone else had mentioned, I like Maxwell Kennedy Warner. :)

good luck with the remainder of the pregnancy!

Hi Val

Congrats, on your need additon. Just like many fans before me, you are glowing!!! But you are cute anyway. I vote for Maxwell Joseph Warner or Maxwell Timothy Warner or even Maxwell Demetrius Warner. I pray for a healthly delivery for you. Be Blessed!!!

Deb took my answer... I vote for Maxwell Smart Warner.

You look amazing for 7 1/2 months pregnant! Best wishes for an easy delivery and a happy, healthy baby!
