What's in a name?

Scott and I went to Cary today to run a few errands and came across the cutest thing!  This tiny little baby drum-set!  Then we went up to Raleigh (to the superior drum store, if you ask Scott) and they had tiny little electric guitars!  I figure if we play our cards right, we can have a 1 man band!  Plus, buying a drum-set for a tiny kid is MUCH cheaper than buying one for a grown Griffin... thank goodness!

While out we also picked up a book of baby names.  I am continually amazed at what people will actually name their children.  This book claims 100,000+ names... but I honestly believe it may only have 100+ that I would actually concider desrving of the title "name".  I want a book that let's me remove names by topic... for example... remove all names from this book that:  are famous celebrity names (Apple), are names of muppets (Kermit), are items of clothing (Brazier), or are names of famous dictators (Vladamir, Barak, etc).  I'm serious... these are actually suggestions people feel are legitimate names.  YUCK!

Tomorrow marks 24 weeks... so we still have 16 weeks to decide!  Hopefully once I take a black sharpee to the book deleting names I refuse to concider, we can find something suitable for our little musical protige in the making!

    if we named him baraka he would then be a cheesy mortal kombat character. Silly Socialist wannabes was the topic that showed Osamaba Braka's name in it.
