The Nameless Child

Many of you know that Andrew and I are struggling to come up with the name for our son - due to arrive in just over 4 weeks now. As a planner, I have been pretty horrified that we didn't immediately just know the name, but as a mother-to-be, I feel such overwhelming responsibility to make sure he has the "perfect" name. I mean, he'll be called this for the REST of his LIFE! Of course, we aren't clueless for the lack of the many, many suggestions we've received from family and friends. Everyone else seems to have plenty of ideas of what our son's name should be (especially his Nana who has sat through a number of what we call "naming sessions" with us). Still, we are undecided. So, I came across this web site - what would Sarah Palin call our son? Her children's names are certainly unique (one of the criteria we've set for the name of our son)... but aren't they also borderline AWFUL. I mean, Track, Trig, Bristol, Willow, and Piper? Another criteria that Andrew has for our son's name is one that won't get him beat up. Track? Trig? Certainly beat downs are coming for those two, right? Anyway - check out the site - have some fun. In the meantime, Andrew and I will keep calling our unborn son the nameless child.

I could not agree with you more about Palin's kids' names. They are more looking for a beating b/c there mom is a crazy b*#ch though. I know how you feel picking the name. It's a big decision, and I am sure you will make the right one. :-)
