Ron,
Thank-you for joining in and trying to help Marissa on choosing a good name for our “101” baby also. This may be a first for the site and we have to get it right. Also “Thank-You” for noticing Sylvia has a difficult task keeping Gavin and Tony in line. Believe me, they can be too much for her and I to handle at times.
Marissa, I fear our boy will get a social security number and perhaps his first check before we pick a name for him. He needs a name for them to know who to send that first check to. This is getting serious. Speaking of “serious”, what about “Cirus”. That’s unusual. Then there are one syllable names like; Jake, Blake, Rich, Roy, Troy, Coy, Rowe, Ray, Bar, Pub, Nate, Sid, Kid, Sam, Gib, Zeke, ......... to name a few.
Then there are simple abbreviations that make good names to consider. A few might be; BMI, JR, OD, BJ (now Tony and Gavin don’t go there, I have a cousin we call BJ because it’s the first two letters of his first and middle name. He’s a big boy and you don’t want to upset him). Also the initials of BJ Thomas, as famous 70’s entertainer. “E” which is what Elvis’s friends called him. “B” which is what I called a friend of mine named Brian. FU; which is the abbreviation for a local college named Findlay University (Tony and Gavin back off again). TR; a nickname for my buddy Tommy Russell (no, not the same Russell as the owner of the Drive-Thru Sylvia owes money to). GI; which has a patriotic ring to it.
Holy Crap…..... this is driving the Old Dog to drink and I don’t need any excuses. I’m afraid I may be passed out when the name Marissa chooses is announced. Sylvia Dear, please keep me informed.
OD
