Baby Names

Student: "Teacher, do you know what you're going to name your baby yet?"

Me: "Probably William..."

Student: "Oh, I like that....you should either do William or Popeye."

  1. Oh that is a good one. I had totally forgotten about Popeye. How silly of me. I tell you what names are a big deal and you don't want a weak name, I think that Popeye is one for the record books it we are talking about strength. Where do they come up with these things?

    So my friend just had a new baby and she has a 9 year old daughter, Maddie. When they were talking about names for the baby I guess that Maddie had told her friends at school the names that it was narrowed down to and her friends said that they didn't like them. So when the baby came and they were considering using one if the final names Maddie was practically in tears because her friends hated one of the names. Isn't it funny what a powerful influence friends have even in the early years of school.
    Just so you know Maddie is happy because they went with a totally different name and apparently it is "cool".

    Well you are almost done with the pregnancy, and I think that the naming is the hardest part, so it looks like you are nearing the end of the tunnel rapidly. You are going to be a great mom.
