Pray for the Young
Good news folks! The magical mystery train carrying the Friendly family will soon have a new passenger...
In my joy, I must quote...
And may their first child be a masculine child. --Luca Brasi, The Godfather
Well Luca, you missed the boat the first time BUT,
You hit a fuggin four bagger the second time.
That's right, it's time to find the right little Friendly boy name. I only have 5 months.
How about...
Jake or Brandon: no soap opera names please!
Zachary, Jeremy, Joshua: no new fashion names at all. The special education classes of full of specially named individuals.
Matthew, Michael, or Joseph: What the fug is wrong with Matt, Mike, or Joe. Nothing. But today's moms think the full name adds dignity. That's beautiful. I just love the sound of "Matthew! Stop picking your nose! Matthew!"
or "Matthew, we need to use our indoor voice!" or "Matthew! Put down the gun! Matthew...Matthew! "
No way.
Sam: I like it but it is overdone.
Jethro: I am down, but Mrs. Friendly would never sign off.
Rufus, Leroy, Marcellus, Ving, BigBlackSnake: Now I am just messing around.
Ben, Ely: No quarterbacks, wait a minute...
Reginald Martinez Friendly: THIS IS A WINNER! I LOVE IT! He would come down to breakfast every morning to the chant of "Reggie, Reggie, Reggie!" That would be cool.
Scott, Andrew: hmmmmmm, not Andrew but Drew or Andy.
Sanjay: another nod to my H1B friends. I would sooner poke out my eyes.
Ralph: nope
Sean, Liam, Patrick: Mrs. Friendly told me the Irish names are verbotten. Oh well.
Anthony, Nicholas, Tony, Nick: Already got a couple of these in the family. Out.
You see where I am going? This name selection business is hard.
Suggestions will be read, then discarded.
Reggie is already growing on you. I have a sixth sense about these things. ¶ 7:17 AM
