Personally I'm leaning towards "Purgatory Sunny With A Chance of Clouds." It's got a ring to it, I think.

I thought Mattias was pronounced Ma-tie-us.

Katey Sagal had a baby named Esme Louise via a surrogate. I think it's a pretty name, not too common but not too weird.

I quite like Esme, and Esme Louise Sutter is a fine name. IIRC, Sagal had a late-term miscarriage while filming Married with Children, so I'm glad she and her husband were able to become parents via surrogacy,

No, but that's the new Dethklok album.

Lauren Ambrose just had a son today and named him Orson. Her husband's last name is Handel, so I assume it's Orson Handel.

I suddenly had a vision of a film director who writes his own scores.

Wasn't that pig on the Garfield cartoons named Orson?

Yes! but he was cute.

Orson Handel? Was her baby born a hundred years ago or something? It's kinda cute, but also old timey-sounding.

Ani DiFranco had a little girl named Petah Lucia. My first thought was pita bread. My second was the animal rights organization. But all in all, I guess it's not terrible. I love Lucia.

Petah...the Boston accent version of Peter!

CBB says it was a homebirth. Good for her!

Why do people think home births are better than hospital births? Doesn't it really make a difference as long as the baby is healthy?

Oh, and I don't really care for the name. "Lucia" is cool, but "Petah"? Pfft. Stupid.

I can't speak for everyone, obviously, but my reaction was similar to punky's, simply because I know I'm not nearly badass enough to pull it off at home by myself. No one is saying it's better (or, okay, I'm not). Just awesome.

I like Petah. Sue me. I think I'd like it better with no 'h' at the end, though.

Petah = opening in hebrew
