Recently a close friend of mine breached the topic of baby names. This came as a shock to me since up until now our conversations have been more focused on what kind of thong is most comfortable rather than the creation of another human being but thrilled me nonetheless.
Her question was regarding the use of her last name (i hope her soon-to-be maiden name) as a first name for her hypothetical baby boy. We debated how it would sound with a last name, how it would sound with a middle name, the use of just the first initials in email signatures etc. But the truth is, it is 2012 and people are naming their kids crazy things - anything goes.
And there is no shortage of inspiration for baby names. In fact, last year a couple from Illinois let Facebook users pick the name for their baby girl using a poll from the Name My Child App. And in Egypt, some guy actually NAMED his daughter Facebook.
So since we are on the topic (and in light of the fact that Beyonce recently jacked my favorite baby name), I would like to publicly reserve a couple baby names so none of you bitches rip them off!
Respect the date/time stamp.
Boy names: Ben, Max, Elijah, Noah, Ethan, Vincent (my dad's name, no touch-y!) and Roscoe (destined to play football)
Girl names: Grace (seriously, don't touch this one), Sofia, Ava, Ella, Antonia
