Names

Baby names. They really are difficult to come up with, at least at our house.

I remember when my youngest brother was born and my Dad couldn't decide on a name. Poor Dave was "Baby Boy Daniel" for a while and my other brother kept calling him Watermelon Head. (W.H. for short.) I thought it was hilarious that my Dad couldn't come up with a name and yet here I am thirteen years later facing the same dilema.

Not that boy names are a problem. We have both names picked for a boy: Daniel Michael and we had both names for a boy Grace, had it turned out that way, by three months. However, a girl is more difficult.

I did not pick the name Grace and no matter how many times I tried to veto it, I lost. Stuart agreed that I could pick this baby's name, however, Laura, Nadine, Nora and Eden have all been dismissed. We could have a "Baby Girl Watt" on our hands after all.

Oh well, she could always be Watermelon Head.
