2. Baby Names:

I got a couple of books on baby names. I really hate that they call these books "Baby Names", it doesn't really make sense. It's not like they're going to change their name when they grow up... They should just call them name books.

I discovered that there are two types of ppl who write this type of rubish. They are either some sort of linguist who is more impressed with the fact they can track down the orgin of the name or they are people who are so damn opinionated that they hate every name but their own.

I got this one called "Baby Names Now" and it is written by that second type of author. The name we picked for a boy is probably going to be Jayce, which they say "Cute, but it's probably worth the effort to look for something with a bit more spine"... where do they get off? They insult a lot of names calling them "feminine", "outdated", "grandma-ish", "do so if you want your kid to be picked on", etc... Alright Pamela!

Needless to say I am getting a kick from reading this book, and if they bad mouthed my name I'd have to punch them in the face.

Oh, Sophie is safe
