   Our friends just had a girl, Amelia, but I was rooting for a boy because they were going to call him Abraham. Lil’ Abe. How cute!

5. My favorite actual name ever is my mom’s friend Laboria. LABORIA. Better yet, she’s a lesbian ex-nun.

7. I once knew a boy named Seven Aight. Pronounced 7,8.

   And I recently saw a name on a realty sign called Mess Uhrin. Yep, that would be mess urine. AKA, if you buy THIS house what a mess you’re in.

   My favorite, however, is the unabashedly comic book-y name of a friend’s son:

   Dex Lohr

   Could you name your son Paul?

   You shall name no son before his time.

8. Expected babies in my family often get called Ethelbert or Albertine before they arrive. Or Spike. That works when you don’t know what you’re having yet. I’d love to meet a real Ethelbert or Albertine.

    I am not kidding when I tell you these are the names of my three cousins. My brother calls them ‘the most overnames children in Australia’…

    My best friend in England was going to call her new son Sidney. Sid Hartley. The name of a man who has his own bar stool somewhere…

16. We’ve got some names picked out for our future kids.

    Boy: Lincoln “Link” for short because my fiance is a huge Nintendo nerd and I also really like presidential names. Our cats are named Washington and Franklin. So we figured we needed to carry on the presidential feel with our future tots…

    Girl: Evelyn. No really funny jokes about it, I just like old fashioned names and Evie is a cute nickname.

    We are keeping the boy name a secret especially from his parents because they freaked out about us wanting to name our future daughter “Evelyn”. And it’s odd that they would spew at such a name because his mom suggests names like “Madison, Dakota, Jade, Ashley, Ashton” and overly trendy names such as those.

    Just name your kid Leta Jr. 😉
