The Name Game…Chuck, Chuck Bo Buck, Banana Fanna Fo…

Hella busy day here at the ranch…but a pretty good one.  One of my big problems seems to have resolved herself in the form of lying on her time card.  Not a pleasant conversaton, but a necessary one.  And I cleared out a drawer…and some of my ever growing in box…and got my autistic student trained on a new task…and whew! It makes up for a yesterday, which was lost in a blur of a particularly sad funeral, a monster headache, a mega nap and a crashed sense of self. 

Best part of today: Dairy Queen Thin Mint Girl Scout Cookie Blizzard.  Heaven in a little blue cup. And did you know that DQ has grilled cheese on their kids meal menu?  Awesome!

So we’ve been getting the question about names a lot.  Everyone wants to know if we’ve decided on one.  Well, the truth is that yes, we have.  Since it’s a boy, we’ve let Ray make the decision.  He opened a baby name book, put his finger down on a random entry on a random page and came upon the perfect name for our Polish/Lithuanian/German/Irish baby: Jagmeet.  It’s of Middle Eastern Origin.  We plan on calling him Jag.  Or Meet.  Whichever.  Ray says we’ll decide which he looks like when he comes out.  I said if that’s the case then it will definitely be “Meat.”

I know it’s unusual and we may not be able to find preprinted name badges at Disneyworld.  And it won’t be to anyones taste but ours.  But it WILL be unique. 

The other front runner is Norris-Boris.  It sounds ESPECIALLY great with our last name.  There has been talk about whether we should hyphenate it or just use Boris for a middle name.  I’m leaning more toward the hyphenation.  It’s more complicated and more difficult.

I’m pretty sure either choice will be similar to naming a boy “Sue” like in the Johnny Cash song.  Whatever doesn’t kill him will make him stronger, especially when it comes to recess hyjinx and locker room wedgies.

You’ll all get used to whichever one we pick.  I promise.
