Baby Name Books Suck.

When you have a child nicknamed "Ninja Baby" it stands to reason that the baby's real name should be distinctive and unique. The problem is that, with over 6 billion people on planet earth, all the really good distinctive names have been taken. New parents seeking help from baby name books are pretty much SOL because while most of them brag about having over 1,000 different names for boys and girls, they are generally the most common names.

A family member once suggested that we consider naming Ninja Baby based on our progeny's possible future profession. Based on that suggestion, here are some examples we (oh, so briefly)
considered:

Profession: Finance and Securities
"Visa D. Mastercard" (the "D" stands for "Diner's Club")

Profession: Actor
"Angelina Drew Roberts"

Profession: NASCAR Driver
"Shake n' Bake"

Profession: Crappy Right Wing Politician
"George W. Harper-Regan"

Profession: Movie director of an Oscar-caliber pedigree who's quality of work declines significantly in the later years:
"Francis Ford Lucas Spielberg"

Profession: Angry white hippie poet-novelist-songwriter
"Jewel Atwood-Morisette"

Profession: Self-destructive Rock n' Roll has-been
"Axl Osbourne-Simmons"

Profession: Movie director of an Oscar-caliber pedigree who retains their god-like status in the hearts and minds of movie fans, in perpetuity
"Quentin Cameron Thomas Anderson Scorsese-Mann"

Profession: Angry black hippie-poet-novelist-songwriter
"Nikki Walker Scott-Badu"

Profession: Philadelphia-area martial artist of Italian descent
Salvatore Antonio Pasquale Giuseppe Boriello-Lucas

Anyways... for the sake of an update, here is a tummy pic. The belly-button has almost "turkey-timer"ed, so things are getting pretty exciting. Ninja Baby is kicking up a storm, but has yet to respond directly to Number One Dad's voice. The kid's not even born yet and already its ignoring me...
