to create a name

Oh boy. Naming children is tough. Here are the qualifications for the perfect name:

1.) Must be a normal name (as opposed to names like Apple or Aloysius Snuffleupagus )

2.) Can't be too normal.

3.) Shouldn't be on the top ten lists of names for boys or girls for this year.

4.) Can't be the same name as any serial law breakers or evil geniuses.

5.) Can't rhyme with any words of questionable character.

This led us to a short list:

Gus Schultz

Simon

Clayton Jnr

We didn't actually decide on Simon until after he was born. We had Elliot's name picked out a few days prior to his arrival. This recent kid we had the most trouble with. But now we are happy.
