It’s Holly

I went to dinner with the fam last night, and, as always, my sister tells me to have a baby and she’ll take care of it. And, as always, my answer was a resounding crack-induced Whitney Houston “Hell to the NO!”. But it did get me thinking about baby names, which is always fun. I definitely want my kids to have unique names - not like celebrity status with names like Apple and Coco, or ghetto pseudo-ethnic status like LaShawndra or Kenyetta, or super trendy like Madison and Mackinzie. I’ve always had an affinity for Greek names, like Persephone. But I couldn’t stand the thought of my child going through life being called “Purse-fone” (just fyi, it’s “per-sef-uh-nee”). Maybe it could be a middle name.

Then, there are the good old standbys that I’ve always loved - Avery (I know, it’s a paper company) and Sebastian (I know, he’s a crab).

I can tell you with almost 100% certainty that I won’t be having a child any time soon. You can even scratch that “almost” in the last sentence out. Babies ain’t comin’ out of Holly no time soon, but that doesn’t mean we can’t talk about baby names of future offspring.
