Scenes from Life: Naming Children*

Me: If we had a ‘Caroline’ we’d have some confusion on our hands between all the Carolines, Carolyns and Carol Anns in my family.
Zack: “It’s Caro-LINE, Brian. Caro-LINE.”**
Me: Yeah, seriously.
Zack: There’d be no confusion about Gimli Son of Gloin, though.
Me: No, no one would ever mess up the name Gimli Son of Gloin. And they certainly wouldn’t ever call him “GG.”
Zack: No, they wouldn’t. That’s not his initials. His initials are G. S. O. G.
Me: Sweet. I’ve always wanted a son called G-SOG. I’m in.

*Fictional, theoretical children that I am not pregnant with, nor am I planning to be come pregnant with, nor am I 100% sure I even WANT to get pregnant with. I just like to pick out names. Just FYI.
**Reference: Here Zack is quoting this opening bit from Brian Regan Live.

  1. Thanks for plugging my video. I did a little research on you and discovered you need to update your “About SarahThe” section of your blog. Congratulations on your SECOND degree! Only took me twenty years to get ONE degree.

    • Nah. :) That’s just my father-in-law. He likes to leave comments on my blog using a different alias all of the time. It’s kinda fun to see what he comes up with each time.
      Love that you noticed the alt-text. Also love that you know it’s called “alt-text.” NERDS UNITE.
