#255 The Name Game

As you all know, Eric was a New Year’s baby. In fact he was the first baby born in our county in the year 1977. He got his picture in the paper and I think my parents might have gotten some free pizza. I always thought that was pretty cool.




As you all probably also know, I’m pregnant. This means I’m going to have a baby to name. I am fascinated by names and always have been. I used to make long, long lists of names when we would go on car trips. I have found other people who are fascinated by names and one of them wrote a great baby naming book. Her name is Laura Wattenberg and she has a website, http://www.babynamewizard.com/ with lots of interesting naming tools and a blog.



From her website I found http://www.namecandy.com/ which had a recent blog featuring the names of the first babies born in each state for 2011. http://www.namecandy.com/celebrity-baby-names/blog/2011/01/04/new-years-first-baby-names-2011-a-little-ditty-about-jax-and-ca



Poor little Lexi Love is probably destined to be a stripper, and Princess Avana sounds like a character right out of Star Wars or Star Trek.



Naming a baby is a big responsibility. I’m considering the name that Eric wanted for himself, seen in post #56.
