my mom calls all of her loved ones George, regardless of their given name or gender.

I think it may have something to do with her own name. Her name is Gerrye. When written, someone who doesn't know her might (and they usually do) read it as George.

That's funny, because I have been known to call people George!

We're standing there taking pictures and all of a sudden the entire wedding party starts humming the Star Trek theme...

LOL! I'd love to see the picture taken just as that was happening!

Even with the "Humans are stupid, Save the Whales" theme, I really enjoyed Star Trek IV.

Duston Bumps... hmmm... that's bad.

I knew a guy once named Hammer. His given name was Jack - no, really, it was a family name. So, they used a nickname - Tack.

I'm really, really not joking.

names for kids...

I,like many girls, had all sorts of names picked out by the time I was in midle school. When elf-boy came along, though, ALL the names went out the window.

My method is family names. I don't quibble about how far back I go to find the right name either. Elf-boy is named after William Austin Anderson (1895-1965), a WWI vet, and John Brooks Darby (1848-1911), a CSA vet.

For this baby, PE and I have agreed that we'd like picking names from the founders of our great nation, in addition to family names.

Congrats to Sonya! Babies are great! My nephew (~7 mos) is coming to visit today. I decided to buy some clothes for him... buying baby clothes is so fun! (They're so wittle and cute. Wittle shirts, wittle shorts, wittle socks and shoes- whee!)

Does the baby have a name yet, or are you waiting to decide?

Any chance 'Sledge' was a nickname?

The only clothing this baby will ever need...

She'll probably send the kid off to be raised in Cuba or Central America, where pro baseball players are cultivated.

nope! Sledge was probably born around 1911 in central Texas. He married my great grandfather's niece, Rosine.

I have many examples of odd names in the family tree. Thankfully, I have many more names than those to choose from.

Woo Hoo! Will it be born before the end of the Baseball season? If it's a boy is it going to be Edgar?
