Dear Poor Lucky Me,
Your readers must know: What are you going to name your baby? May we submit ideas? I have some very good, unique suggestions that I’m happy to donate to your baby.
With Love,

Dear Idea Factory,
Thank you! My man and I welcome ALL suggestions from my loyal PLM readers! In fact, I urge you to email or comment your suggestions throughout this pregnancy (which will end around August 25th, 2010).
We have considered the tradition naming-the-baby-after-our grandparents and the old Junior route, but something a little spicier would be nice too. Here are some names still on the table:
Optimus Prime
Patrick Swayze
Peter Frances the Seventh
Led Zepplin
Hurricane
I’d love to hear your comments and or suggestions.
Sincerely,
Poor Lucky Me
Elizabetho. Its very strong and manly.
Elizabetho is unique AND meaningful!
What about Frank Grimes? Or Grimey?
pat. that way if the kid wants to change gender identities in the future. the name is covered.
Whatever you name your baby, I urge you to make it easy to say and spell. I once met a young girl that had an apostrophe at the end of her name. Why would someone do that to a child? Crazy.
Am LOVING Hurricane. Is that just ‘Hurricane’? Like Madonna? Or Prince? One word names are the best way to show off how important you are. Your child will definitely be off to the right start with just one name!
My husband would be jealous if you named the kid Optimus Prime. That’s his favorite Transformer.
Back in the early stages of dating, he told me once he thought it would be interesting to name a baby girl ‘Dump Truck,’ and if a baby boy, then ‘Panty.’ Just to see how the socialization would play out. I thought this was pretty funny, because I assumed he was joking. It’ll probably be safest though, if that day ever comes, to have a side conversation with the doc, to make sure I get to give them the name, and not him. That’s not something you want to mess with.
Just Hurricane. Very forceful don’t you think?
