Names Names Names

Baby naming is complex. Our little friend is going to have to live with whatever we encumber him with for a long time. Are there really names that lead, inevitably, to trauma? There are many places to look for names. Even the Social Security Administration provides lists.

Here are some names that have been ruled out: Zorba, Shamu, Bling Bling, Dynasty, Chimchar, Strychnine, Aloysius Snuffleupagus, Shmoolik, Uranus, Osama, Jesus (pronounced "Hey Seuss" - a very popular name here).

Here are a few that are still in the running (in no particular order): Laszlo, Charles, Sidney, Aristotle, Sebastian, Oscar, Roman, Lucas, Victor, Maxwell.

Names that have yet to be considered: Moby, Zeppelin, Henderson, Logan, Edgar, Leonardo, Hudson, Socrates.

The field is still wide open.
