So the baby is gonna be here in two very short months. Am I ready? Heavens no! Am I excited? Hell yes! I don't think I'm gonna be ready for the responsibility that awaits me. First off I can't stand the sound of crying. Something about it rubs me the wrong way. Also I'm not the biggest fan of touching poop. Apparently touching poo is a large part of the job of parenting. Also, anyone who knows me knows that I treasure sleep above all else. (If I were Hindu and could be something in my next life, I would be a house cat. Come on! They can sleep 20 hours of the day!) I've heard rumors that babies like to wake up every two hours at night and in turn wake you up. I guess they get hungry or something. Pretty inconsiderate.
Oh yeah, did I mention that I got a new list for baby names. It's from that girl I work with. They are having a girl, thank goodness! See my list of boy names two posts down to find what misfortunes their child would endure. I will say that I'm disappointed in her husband's efforts this time around. It's like he blew his creativity on the first list. Though this list is still pretty fantastic.
I will keep you in suspense no longer.
Aphrodite - The goddess of love, lust, and passion. Good luck spelling this one little girl. Afrodytee maybe?
Athena - Goddess of war. I'm sure she'll be a perfect little calm angel.
Calypso - Wikipedia says calypso is a greek sea nymph, a marvel comics character, and a video game character. That's the triple threat. Why wouldn't he use that name?
Caprice - Like I said before, don't name your kid after your car, especially if it's a mediocre car.
Cassiopeia - Why not just kill the opeia at the end and make it cassie? Though Jenniferopeia has a nice ring to it.
Katriana - Not bad. Though she is bound by law to be a olympic figure skater.
Jasmine - I can show you the world.
Monet - Always make a good impression... get it? impressionism?
Lyla - Got me on my knees lyla.
Maelie - Unique and different, but different is not always good.
Aida - Turns out the dad is not only a huge mythology geek but also loves broadway. Total package!
Serendipity - I've got a good idea, let's give our daughter a name with five syllables!
Sonora - What people with sleep apnea do.
Eliana - Named after Elian Gonzalez, that cuban kid who was rescued from the closet.
Cinderella - Someday her prince Charming will come. Until then she will work as a slave and talk to mice.
Trinity - There is no spoon?
Scarlett - Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn.
Minka - What crazy PETA fans throw red paint on.
Cleopatra - Were you starting to think the names were getting too normal? There have only been two Cleopatra's in history. The queen who killed herself with an asp bite and Miss Cleo, the psychic. It's a win win name for sure.
By the way, I wanna say how hard I worked to get this list of names. The other list was easy, he wrote them all down. This time around there was no copied page. She read the names off of a text he gave her. I did my best to remember all of them. Then when she told someone else at work I got on my computer and typed as fast as she was saying the names. It's possible I might have missed some classic names such as Esmerelda, Jezebel, or Cornucopia.

haha! Oh Kent I understand your pain...I'm not looking forward to crying, touching poop, or losing sleep either when I have a baby...which will be who knows when! Oh and by the way Harry Potter is awesome and Star Trek is for dorks...but I'm wanting to see that too...haha.
Ma soeur is about to give birth around the same time as your wifey! Unfortunately she's thinking to name it Tritan for a boy;P YUCK! I've resorted to sing the "name game song" with any name considered. Here the youtube url if you don't know the song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C2udVjxNJQs&feature=related

Lest you forget when you and the little missus are sitting down to decide a name---I have written on this topic. Please put it in your memory.

Kira, Don't equate the nerdiness for star trek with harry potter. next thing you know, you will be saying twilight is just as good as lord of the rings. don't do it.
(sis)Farao, Tritan? that's classic. I can't believe that wasn't on that kids list of boys names. I might use that one.
Matt, nice work plugging your blog site.
Kent...what's your baby going to be named again???....
Hi Kent,
I finally listened to yours and Scott's movie review thingy (I know, it's a podcast). I listened to the Wolverine one--it sounds awful, although I do kind of want to see the Prof. X scene now. I remember thinking he looked fake in X3... Anyway, I gave it 5 stars. Is there a way to leave reviews on iTunes? Did you know I'll be in Utah on Saturday? Maybe we can hang out.
