Names are so important. Name can define you. Like the article says... is Sparkle or Rock really going to stand the test of time? NO! Sparkle will likely become a stripper and Rock will become just that, a rock that sits around with no job, no ambitions and probably deals drugs. And, why do people put unnecessary apostrophes in their kids' name? It maybe popular at the time, but what about when they are old? Is Trissston (3 s's) or La'dasha really a good life choice? Come on people.
Travis has a really strong opinion when it comes to picking male names. The name must be strong, not weak, not cute, not frilly, not hip, not wussy, not a name that a kid might get beat up over. We have to assume if we have a boy he's going to be small, scrawny and red headed, just like Travis was. Naming him Arthur or Albert would only seal his fate in high school. This is a really hard decision. I know a girl who just named her kid after a dog I know. Poor kid. (I hope she's not reading this.) Travis wants to see our baby before we give it a name. I think he wants to hold it up like Simba from the Lion King and say "and he shall be CALLED.....(insert awesome name here)." I, on the other hand, don't think I can handle that. If I have a say, we're going to the hospital with two names picked out, one for a girl and one for a boy.
And guess what? We are going to be those parents who don't tell anyone the name until our baby is born. Sorry. One thing is for sure, Travis does not make decisions quickly. So, who knows, we might not even land on a decision until a week, or day, or hour, before the baby arrives.
