Baby Names

[kateriffic]

And the discussions are starting already.

"Why not Ix?" - "What?"

"Why not Megan?" - "It's too plain."

It's not that I'm averse to naming the sprog after a literary character. It’s really not. However, I'd like a name that is going to minimize the teasing and trauma. I know, that no matter what we name him or her, they are going to be teased.

In SPACE, bananas are the only universal currency. True story, Luke told me so.

A true story like Jack is the man in the back that told everyone to attack?

Would a Jedi lie?

These are not the droids that you are looking for.

Bananas are good, Kate. Unlike sonic blasters from the weapon factories at Villengard, apparently. (But I should stop saying that, it's a conversation Ears and I haven't had yet. And probably won't have for a while. And when we do have it won't actually be me, which is kind of really tragic. Alternate universes and all that.)

Also, your resident century is very rude if they make fun of names like Ix. That's simple, that's cute! Then again, we've got planets like Rexacoricovallapatorius in the future, so who can go around making fun of names?

Anyway, can we rule out things with excessive misuse of I and Y? That is so not clever.

Bananas are very good. I got the makings for a fruit dip as well as extra bananas. Neither Ears nor you will go unsatisfied. (Take that as you will.) Speaking of Ears, how did everything go after I went to bed? And thank you for cleaning up the kitchen. You didn't have to do that and I appreciate it. (You should get a reward!)

I don't condone teasing someone based on their name. However, it's very easy to find ways to make fun of names like Michael, Anne or Sarah. Ix? That's just asking for it. I can't say much about names either but Ix? Nickname, yes?

That we can agree on. It's not clever. The sprog won't be able to find anything ever with his/her name on it.

Are you asking about the dirty details of my sordid love affair with the narcoleptic and amnesiac Doctor? Because, Kate, that's very hot. However, sorry to disappoint you, we watched the historically inaccurate movie about piracy and he fell asleep halfway through it. I don't blame him. Did anyone even research Port Royal before they made that movie? Anyway, not talking about, I carried him up to bed sometime around the part about the sea turtles. How's that movie end, anyway?

Kate, I'm not a twenty-first century caveman who's opposed to doing some washing up. And you don't have to reward good behavior, I'm already trained. (But I won't say no!)

I think I'd rather teach my child to not be bothered by teasing, rather than attempting to find a name that isn't conducive for it. I'm kind of assertive like that, sorry. We'll agree on something eventually.

[kateriffic]

Maybe. They don't ever really research those kind of movies. It's all about who looks the hottest in a pirate costume and corset. The first one? Sparrow gets away, of course.

I know. But you also need your sleep. (Oh. But I want to. I think you deserve the tongue thing.)

(You need to show me just how assertive you are Captain Harkness.) Yes, learning to throw a good punch is neccesary anyway that you look at it. It's all well and good to teach them that and you should. However... You know what? We have seven months and some change, we'll find a name.
