A Rose by Another Name Could Be Stupid

Carmen's been so fun lately that Mark and I are starting to look forward to future children.  (Wait until at least February, Kamis!  February!  2 1/2 years is a good gap!)  A few nights ago, we were talking about baby names.  We have 3 boy names we really like (Mace, Daniel, and Brad after my Dad) and one girl name we can agree on (Kimberly).  I like Rebecca and Jennifer, but he's not sold on either of those names until we come up with acceptable middle names for them. =p

Anywho, I asked him what other girl names he likes.  He paused for a minute, and said, "Enid."

Enid?!

Are you kidding me?!

I asked him where in the world he came up with that name, and he was all like, "Well, you see, there's this Barenaked Ladies song ..."

*facepalm*

(No offense to any Enids out there, or anyone who knows and loves an Enid.  My great-grandma's name is Ethel and I love the name, even though it makes other people laugh.)

  1. Please note that I did not say I like the song. I just happened to decide I like the name, based on hearing the song.

    My other favorite names (that Kamis may or may not like) are Fay and Brooke.

  2. I find Fay an acceptable middle name because of your aunt. (I always want to add an "e" to the end because of Faye Valentine from the anime Cowboy Bebop.) I think "Brooke Dewey" is kind of hard to say. It has too many strong consonants together or something. BKD.

  3. Haha sounds like our conversations. I like Adelaide but Jameson says no. You know, a good middle name for Rebecca is Ann ;)
