Aaron Baeron? (Air-Ron not Arran!)
We're more than half way through the pregnancy now and we've even found out what sex it is! I'm not one for surprises really, what's the point? I can't buy an expensive bottle of whisky and wait until the queen comes round! (I doubt she drinks whisky any way, probably creme de menthe, or is that the Pope?) Anyway, the whisky needs drinking and that's why we (I say "we", I think Kerry would have preferred a surprise but there's no way she would have let me know without her knowing!) found out that it's a boy. And now we have no need to call it "It", although we still do occasionally, after all it is -20 weeks old and is more like an alien than a human at the moment.
The boy is due on the 25th February 2013 and we've begun to think about names. If it was a girl we were going to name it "Truly", quite mentally after "Truly Scrumptious" from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, but we both quite liked it. (I think I preferred "Scrumptious" but that's a bit "porny" isn't it?). So the hunt is on for a boys name. I'd like to say anything goes but that's not quite right is it? Names like Adolf, Saddam and Savile are all out of favour now, and I've been told I'm not allowed to name it, (see there I'm doing it again!), him Mau Mau after my beloved dog.
And I don't want to give him a name where everyone at school will think "What a twat!". Sylvester Stallone called his son "Sage Moonblood". I don't care if your dad is Rambo or Rocky, if I ever met anyone called "Sage Moonblood" I'm going to want to punch them in the face! (that's as long as your dad's not there and you're still 12 or so!). Bono and The Edge, (O Jesus Christ! They gave themselves these names without any irony, what hope do their kids have???) named their children "Memphis Eve" and "Blue Angel"! For fucks sake! I hope they both change their names by deed poll to Dave and Colin when they're old enough. I smile when I recall the name of one of Frank Zappa's Children "Diva Thin Muffin", but I'm not tempted to use it myself.
Any road, I might be after something relatively unique and none biblical without it being too mad and embarrassing. Here's a recent image of the boy.
