Baby Names

My wife and I both wanted something creative and atypical but not totally off the wall. She always liked the middle name Josephine, and I always liked the name Rosetta (part because it sounds cool, and part because of the awesome post-metal band from Philly). Then one day we stuck them together and realized:

"We can call her Rosie Josie!"

DONE.

We have one more set of boy/girl names picked out - we want to adopt a girl, but I don't know that we'll ever have another biological child. (But the boy's middle name would be Auron.)

Well Huxley's last name is Hobbes so clearly if we have a boy we have to name it Calvin N. Hobbes.

Well my last name is Bafile (which is pronounced Ba-Fill-Ee. NOT Bah-File), so I always joke to Locky that if we have kids they're getting called Lily, Billy and Milly.

But if I'm being serious, I have two girl names that I like (Katelyn and Ava), and no real preference for a boy.

As a teacher, I come across all kinds of weird names. I rememeber a little girl I taught a few years ago who had a double barrel first name: Misty-Love. I always thought it sounded like the name of a porn star. I've also had a child called Summer-Berry. I mean what were they thinking?! That's the name of a fruit juice!

lmao. There was an e-mail that got sent around when I worked in ESL about a girl named Le-a.

Was it said like "Lee-uh"? "Lei-uh"?

Nope.

"Leh-DAYSH-uh"

because..

"You gotta pronounce the dash."
