Coming Attractions

Me: what do you think of Nathan?
The Serene One: We are not naming our kid after Nathan Fillion
Me: I didn't say anything about Nathan Fillion
The Serene One: But you were thinking it, weren't you?

Pause

Me: Okay, how about Joss?
The Serene: No! No naming our kids after celebrities
Me: Well, don't try suggesting Salma to me later.

That's right! We're expecting an addition to the family in the spring. And no, it's not a rat.

Ah, so many cring-worthy choices.

IMO,go with a strong historical name that will give your child confidence - not the shame of having a name that only gay frenchmen and black-athletes have.

E.g. William - The Conqueror; Shatner; etc.

Or, chose the name of a wealthly grandparent who's likely to be flattered and provide copious gifts and inheritances.

e.g. William - my grandfather in law
