But that's a name worth waiting for. So what did you call him in
the meantime? When I was PG w/#2, #1 wanted to name the baby. She
had a whole lineup of original names: stupid train, stupid
lightpost, stupid ___ (fill in the blank with any non-sentient
object). I nixed them all. Finally, she offered "Shoo lie lou," from
a song. We agreed to call #2 that until birth, when we'd see who it
was, and then decide on a permanent name. Funny: after the birth,
the midwife was filling out the birth record papers and asked how we
spelled shoo lie lou. She thought that's what we were calling the
baby for real! Said she'd heard plenty more unusual. :-)

I'm not sure if I've told this story here. I have acquaintances who couldn't
come up with a name. It had been about six weeks, and they ran into a friend,
who admired the baby girl and asked her name. Stan replied, "None yet." The
woman said, "Nunyet? That's unusual. Is it ethnic?"

They named her Jennifer VERY quickly after.

I have a niece who named her dog Dono for the same reason. People
asked what the dog's name was and she always replied "Don't know."

Life is good.

We didn't. I was so busy with a 2 yo and a 1 yo that the poor baby
didn't get thought about!!
It wasn't until he was about 2 I suddenly thought 'gosh, I have a
third child' :-)

Heather has been going through a book on plants. She thought Kudzu
sounded nice, or millet. Rhodri suggested Mushroom and Bryn wants her
named after his cat.

Now, where did I put the passports....

We have a friend here named Mushroom. He runs a small organic farm
outside town and paints cool pictures. In fact, we have a signed
Mushroom in our entrway. <g>

Have a good and safe trip, Shyrley. I'm so glad I got to meet you in
SC. In fact, I told a friend here that I felt like I follwed you
around like a puppy or something. I really enjoyed talking with you.
You are incredibly funny! :o)

Life is good.
