I can't help it. The firstborn son gets the name 'John Paul' after the Pope. I get to name three after my favorite fantasy and scifi characters. Marriage is about compromise :o)

Heh...I've had at least half a dozen names picked out since I was a kid, practially. Coming from a big family where we're all happy with being from a big family and hoping for big families of our own...it was a topic of discussion - and gentle argument. "No, *I* claimed that name! You can't use it!"

*sigh*

I'm beginning to wonder if I'll get to use any at all.

On the bright side, my brother and my new sister-in-law are expecting their first in January. It's the first grandchild on our side, so we're pretty excited. I'm sure they're going to get REALLY sick of name suggestions. ;-)
