I missed that footnote on the first read, and I was trying to figure out what refrigerant fluids had to do with it.

That makes me wonder exactly how bicoastal parenting works? She lives in Cali and as of yet, he can't whisk baby away for a weekend in Boston, so...is he just gonna have to rack up the miles to Cali?

O/T: I'm constantly boggled by large countries because I live in a place that essentially has the population of a medium sized US town. The first time I drove ten hours anywhere, I was like, "Dude, you could go around my island three times in that time!"

Maybe this should go in the cultural differences thread but most single mom's I know when the dad isn't active or was not married to the mom they usually take the mom's name so I think it's ok it's not Brady.

Ugh what a godawful pretentious name for their kid. None of the names even fit together nicely. SAtine is just wrong wrong wrong for a person. ok for a baz luhrmann movie character. but satine anais geraldine???? thats wrongtown

I can't help myself, but I just keep reading it wrong and wonder why someone would name a child Saltine.

'Cause they're crackers (rimshot).

Let's see...
Satine a fictional courtesan who had a nasty cough. Apparently she never heard of covering your mouth when you aren't feeling well.
Anais a woman who slept with a skeevy writer and her own Father. Not to mention she wrote some hilarious erotica.
Geraldine that nice woman who is a member of the Women's Institute and knits socks for babies in the Parish.

Names for all occasions.

I have three middle names. Useful should I ever take up a life of crime.

How does one even pronouce Anais? I know what I'm hearin in my mind is wrong.

An-eye-EES, I think. But I could be wrong.

You are right.

My fiance last night told me he thought the name Severus Snape was really freaking cool for our future hypothetical child (if he hadn't been driving, I would have smacked him). I told him 1.) over my dead body would we name our kid Severus Snape Lastname and 2.) if he insisted, I wanted to name the next one Horatio Hornblower Lastname. Our kids are going to HATE us.

Between Salma Hayek's Valentina Paloma and Charlotte Church's Ruby Megan, looks like we're on a roll of nice, normal names. Surely this can't last...

Those are both pretty and appropriate for the families they join.

Dude, I had no idea Charlotte Church was pregnant. Kudos for such a normal name. I would have had her pegged as a crazy name-giver.

ONTD reports that Anthony Kiedes and his disturbingly young looking girlfriend have had a boy that they named Everly B.

GAWD I hope the B stands for something and isn't, you know, his middle name entirely.
