Having a
baby means big responsibility, and that includes picking a name for that bundle-o-joy-and-poop (oh yes, there will be poop!).
That statement may seem a little inconsequential considering everything else having to do with a baby kicking your former life to the curb, but its an important part of becoming a parent. It can also be the most intense and aggravating spouse negotiating experience you’ll ever have next to deciding just when is the right time for that post-children vasectomy.
Fortunately, Melissa and I have easily narrowed down our lists of boys and girls name to four of each. However, I suspect that we are indeed knee deep in the nitty-gritty because working these list down to one will be as hard as shooting pool with rope! Book and sites can help you in this decision, but I’ve realized that your first picks almost always stick around near the top of your list throughout the whole 9 months.
Wanna know what names are all the rage? Is your name as popular as you think? See 2007s most popular names here! And don’t cry if your not in the top 100…just think of yourself as “unique”…yeah you’re “unique” alright…
Check out our lists after the break, and hit us with some feedback!

Girl:

Aaargh. At school you will suddenly realize what it means for your son named Nicolas or Samuel to have, like, 3 or 4 other Nicks and Sams goin around. Fer cryin out loud. Be original.
(Not too many Nathans. Yet. Lucas? A few. How about: Moon Unit? Or Roger? I met a young Roger the other day. Eeeew.)
And poop. Yeah. There will lots of that. And then you become Master Of Poop™. And one day many many poops later, you wake up and life is great … for you to poop on
Welcome to the forties.
I’m seeing a trend in the boys names: Samuel, Nicolas? Both names of other people who have left the place you work.. Why isn’t my name there? Hmm? I left the workplace! Also, my name is the second most popular from that list! Add some fancy accents like the diaeresis (as on my name) and you have an even cooler and popular name!
Ok fine, all those names are good… just your son (if it is a boy.. wait no, call it Michaëlle if it is a girl!) would be cooler if he had my name…
Lucas? Nathan? Does someone in your house watch “Les Freres Scott”?
Well Mike, first off my brother is named Micheal so that’s out, sorry! And secondly, “diaeresis” sounds like some degenerating disease you get when your in your 70s or something…
I never noticed how those names are of people having left my workplace
Now I’m reminded of some good times that were had with those who’ve moved on..including you Mike! 
Heya Aaron, sorry but no one watches that show here… is it worth it? My fetish show right now is IRON CHEF baby! Once I start it I can’t stop…I have to watch the whole thing…and tomorrow there is an Iron Chef marathon on food network…gaaaaah!
Prime! How’s it hanging man! Thanks for the suggestions…I will mention that to Melissa. As it turns out Nathan had a slight lead on the rest of the names anyways, so thanks for confirming what may very well be a good decision.
Moon Unit or Dweezel? A Zappa fan are you?
And big laughs for making “Master of Poop” a trade mark!
By the way…I’ll be 30 in May!
