Jake and Enid
Melissa and I talked about what to name our progeny. For a boy, I suggested Jake (Jacob), Michael, Gideon, and Simon. These names are all from the bible, but for each she countered with a pop-culture reference. "Gideon, like Gideon Yago from MTV news?", and "Simon?? Like American Idol? Yuck!". We settled for Jake (which is what I would call him), and Jacob (which is what she would call him). I think it's a good compromise. Jake is a solid boy's name. You can trust a Jake (even though the biblical Jacob was known for his deceptiveness).
For a girl, we finally settled on Enid, which means 'full of spirit'. Enid is the snarky protagonist in the Ghostworld comic books and movie. We're really hoping for a little girl, I think it would be wonderful to raise a little girl. I love Melissa so much and I'm so happy we're going to have a baby together.
