We've been thinking about names, of course. Can't have the kid running around for it's entire life being called, "Baby A" or something of the such.
Melanie said that one of her grade school teachers said, "Be sure to put your names on your papers, class. It's the most important thing your parents ever gave you."
No pressure.
There seem to be a lot of interesting names since we've been paying closer attention.
Like the names where the first name is from the last name:
Andrew Anderson
Becky Beck
David Davidson
John Johnson
Leon Leonard
Pete Peterson
Sam Sampson
Tommy Thompson
Bill Williams
I think you see my point.
Then there are the Biblical names, which Zel isn't too fond of.
Mary
Joseph
Peter
Christopher
Noah
Mary
Luke
He's open to a couple of Star Wars names:
Chewbacca
Han
Not Leia, because Leah is a biblical name, even though George spelled it differently.
Not Luke, either (see above)
Not Anakin (can you imagine the teasing?!)
We've decided no ex-boyfriends or ex-girlfriends.
We've decided no rock stars or poser rock stars:
John
Paul
George
Ringo
Mick
Keith
Gene
Madonna
Britney
Mariah
Celene
And no bad actors:
Paris
Katie
Lindsay
Vin
Russel
Howie
Probably should rule out recent and upcoming hurricanes, too. Bless the hearts of all the little Katrinas and Ritas that were born in the last year.

Please please don't go for one of those o-so-clever "name is the same but spelled differently" names, like Kaydense or Tyfphanni. Or the "named after a product" ones like Stolichnaya or Margarine. :)
Now I'm thinking, "Bob". Nice, simple, 3 letters, can't fuck up the spelling, "Bob".
Ok, here are names that I really like:
For a girl: Kanah (hebrew, for my jewish homegirl)
Zinnia (pretty little flower)
For a boy:
I don't know, I never think about that shit.
Luis, what the goddam is a Stolichnaya?
it's vodka, yo!
We voted on the names. Zel said Kanah sounds too much like Kaka. Or perhaps Caca. Which is also known as poo. So, sorry, Mel, Kanah is not in the running. Zinnia has a possibility. As for I don't know, I never think about that shit, well, that may be a bit long and we may run into problems with nicknames and making sure all the words get on the birth certificate. And, how would he be able to complete the bubble sheets on the SAT's and MCAT's and such?
Ok, I decided that I like Elijah and Judah for boys.
