Pregnancy Advice III: The Name Game

October 6, 2011

Q. Not that you need to disclose any name you have chosen, but how did you and Kendrick make this decision?

My college boyfriend and I once got to discussing what we would name our children-to-be, should things ever progress in that direction. He told me that he had always known what his first son would be named, and that it was not a topic that was, to his mind, up for discussion.

The name that he had chosen? Atlas. As in the big muscle-y dude holding up the sky. Which I'm sure is very well-suited for some, but...not so much my style.

So I was psyched to discover that Kendrick and I have pretty similar taste in names.

Wonder What This Could Mean?

I spent last night in a post-apocalypic wasteland where buildings were falling down all around me, and I had about thirty seconds to run through my apartment getting everything I needed packed into a tiny bag before it collapsed. I remember being extremely concerned about making sure that I located the cord that lets me download photos to my computer.

That's a tough one, huh?
