look who's here!
I'm so totally thrilled. My sister-in-law and brother had a spanking new, shiny little baby boy this morning. Yay! Yay! Yay!

He's apparently a big baby. With big toes and big fingers. Dad insists he's kullae, which mildly put, means 'ugly as hell'. That reassuring - he's one of us then.

Mom, on the other hand is working overtime finding uncommon boy-names. No, Shoaib Akhtar isn't allowed. Neither is Nabisco. I already tried. I've got this sneaky feeling that she's asking for names (which she rejects instantly) just so that we feel that we've contributed equally and have unanimously come up with the best one - hers.

I've not lost hope though. I'm currently thinking up names which double as acronyms. I love those kind of names. Like "Hi, I'm MATT - Mayor-of All Things Terrible". Do you guys have any other suggestions? (I know women are known to save up names for their kids, by not saying it out aloud, for fear of it being stolen. That's why I'm specifically asking the guys.)

*

I can't wait to get back home and introduce him to spiders and dirt. And chocolate, of course. And airplanes and firetrucks and remote-controlled toy cars.

Oh, and I'm so going to try and make his first words 'hello, world!'

Awesome. Have fun in finding that unique name... I'm surprised your mom and sister-in-law haven't made their secret names for the baby public yet! ;)

Since you will not be allowed to pick a name anyways, here's what you could do - you could let them choose the common name and you choose the scientific name. ;)

Hehe. Given my family, I think he'd be a stubborno brattius.

shouldn't be Stubborno brattius minimus - genus is starts with caps, species is brattius and sub-species is minius ;)

How about simply calling him 'Name'?

Just imagine...

Someone would ask him, "Hey what's your name?"
*nod*

"What IS YOUR NAME?"
"yes... Name" *warm smile*

and to add to it, you can make 'NAME' a recursive acronym. Say "NAME Ain't My Ego" or something.

you know what, I actually came to know from mom that there exists a boy with a name -> Noname bcos his parents couldnt find anything else as good !

Btw, Congrats to your family for the first grandchild..
Now that the initial excitement would be over after few days, attention would start turning towards bride-grepping for you.. Stay warned !

meanwhile, will let you know if I come across some good names other than noname !

Thanks. *waits on patiently for better names*

I can't believe that they called the kid 'noname'. That's just awful. Why do parents do such things? Actually, come to think of it, I think kids should be allowed to name themselves.

That way they'll be cool in school and embarassed at work. But, wait, adults are familiar with the great 'those in glass houses ...' bit, and so no one will make fun will make fun of anyone else's name. Just purrrrfect.
