"Please don't name your baby Phoebo"

Is it too early to work on a name for little Pat? Provided you don't fall in love with the name Pat over the next couple months?

Somebody told me about a website today called Nymbler.com and I've been playing with it for the last 10 minutes. You can either type in a name you like or pick one from a list and it generates a name it decides is similar (not sure the criteria on this). For example, I chose the name Elijah off the list first and was suggested names like Isaiah, Sophia, Clara and Abigail, all of which I like, so it's pretty cool. When I typed in Pat (girl's name) I got Priscilla, Gidget, Tex and Dickie...eh? Sound good?

Holly and Christian;
I recommend that you read Chapter 6 in the book FREAKONOMICS by Steven Levitt and Stephen Dubner for an interesting essay about first names and the potential impact they have on children. Plus, it's funny.

Love, Herkimer Lipschitz

Heh. My favorite part of that essay is the list of the top ten ways people spell the name Jasmine. You would be amazed.
