So things have been so busy lately with renovating and working that time has been slipping by. Why, it seems like just last week that Jenny could fit into her clothes. Oh wait, that was last week. Boy she is growing fast. That's my Jenny. I am so proud.
So after another long day, I was relaxing on the couch when I was jolted awake by a disturbing thought. WE STILL HAVE TO NAME THESE LITTLE BEASTS!!!
Now normally this isn't such a shocking thought. After all, we are still months away from having to give them names. Surely we can come up with 3 first names and 3 middle names by then. But for some reason, coming up with boys names is really hard for us. Girls names are easy. We already have like 14 names picked out. But boys names are another story. We like nothing. And Jenny still refuses to let me name one of them "Blade" so dealing with her irrationality makes things that much harder. Why, we barely got the name Caden and even that was last minute. He was almost named "IDunno"
So in my opinion, we are already behind schedule. And I could feel the panic starting to set it... until... I came across an interesting article. It was about a 9 year old girl in New Zealand whose name is "Talula Does The Hula From Hawaii". Apparently she is embarrassed by her name and the court has taken custody of her to allow her to change her name to whatever she wants. And apparently, this is quite the thing in New Zealand. So much so that certain names are being blocked by registration officials. You can no longer name your child Yeah Detroit, Keenan Got Lucy and Sex Fruit, however Number 16 Bus Shelter and Violence are still apparently OK. Whew!!!
If you want to read the whole article, just click here
Well, that opens up a whole new door for us to run down. We are no longer limited to some arbitrary societal rule which dictates what is considered "normal". I can literally name my kids anything I want. Heck, if Prince can change his name to a symbol, then I can change my kid's name to a bunch of clicks and pops.
So what I want to know from you is, what New Zealand name would you give our kids? Here is your chance to put your stamp on history. And if we do eventually pick the name you suggest, you will win some sort of prize. I don't know what it is but it will definitely be something... uh... fitting.
Some of the names that have been given so far include...
"Mark who likes to eat bark from Whitmore Park" Mooney
and
"Muffin who rhymes with nothing, so we call him Fred instead" Mooney
Thank you Todd for your input. I personally was thinking more along the lines of where they came from or some insight into who they are. My names were...
"Broden Who Was Frozen For 3 Years With Big Ears" Mooney
or maybe...
"One Of Three -Approach with Caution" Mooney
OK, maybe that second one isn't great but you get the gist. So submit your suggestion now. AND HURRY!!! WE ONLY HAVE A FEW MONTHS LEFT!!!!
Until next time,
Justin
